Political figure

Abstract

I have used a mixed genre in my project, that is to say I have used both short stories and poems. This mixture includes three short stories and twenty poems in a row. I have basically used the theme of suffering in my short three short stories. In the short story “Exiled” and “destitution” the characters suffer because of their lack of listening to their parents this is because they are in adolescent stage and while in this stage many young people face a lot of challenges and also find difficulty in making up good decisions. If not given proper guidance young people at this age ends up making decisions that ruins their future for example many get in to early marriage, others becomes victims of teenage pregnancy while others become drug addicts.in the second short story “my second mother” the main character suffers in the hands of her second mother after her mother who was battling with HIV AIDs passes away, she worked very hard to see to it that she becomes successful. The three short stories presents to the readers two types of adolescents, the one who is given less but work through thick and thin to achieve success and the one who is given everything on a silver plate but still choose the road that leads to failure. In the 20 poems I have exhausted quite a number of themes like tradition and culture of the Acoli people, the theme of love, politics and religion.
