Question

How does Adjoa’s attitude towards life bring a transformation in her grandmother Nana?

Answer 1

Adjoa remains positive, sensitive and determined despite Nana’s criticism. She does not develop an inferiority complex because of her long, thin legs. Her success as an athlete makes Nana realise that the feature she considered a weakness is actually a strength. Nana’s attitude therefore changes from criticism and doubt to pride and acceptance. Adjoa’s achievement helps Nana reconsider her traditional beliefs about women.
