In the end, why do you think Jaja takes the blame for what happened with his father? What does this show about the type of brother and son he is? Would you have done the same? Why or why not?

I think a lot of this was self-guilt. Jaja's guilt about not protecting Mama earlier leads him to make this sudden confession: he tries to atone for not being able to help his family earlier from Papa's abuse. Your last question is wanting your opinion.
