what are your impressions of aunty ifeoma and her lifestyle in chapter 8

Aunty Ifeoma’s family is markedly different than Papa’s family. She banishes the children’s schedules. In her house, they follow her rules. Aunty Ifeoma’s authority is more respectful of her children and her relatives. Family depends on the interplay of each of its members. She encourages her children to question and to draw their own conclusions. Though she has lost her beloved husband, there is love in the home. Kambili and Jaja love their parents, but are not allowed to interact in any other mode outside of duty. Respect in Aunty Ifeoma’s household is a two-way street. Kambili is shocked, but Jaja responds with wonder.
