Kiritu
Proverbs are vigorously expressive statements that are mainly used to give advice or caution. Several examples of proverbs are seen in the text.
The writer has used proverbs to show the wisdom of Doga and his realistic nature. He says, "a mouse does not share a bowl with a cat."[pg 3] which shows they cannot share a mutual relationship with the sub-chief whose brother, chagaga, is responsible for Adika's death.
Doga insists that the shaving ceremony must continue, regardless of the obstacles that they face. He uses a proverb, "a cloudy sky does not always cry rain." [pg 3]
When Nina suggests that they should report to the Sub-chief what has happened to the grave, Doga uses a proverb to explain her failure to see the futility of her actions. Hence saying, "... when dry thunder tears the sky before our eyes, do we forget the storm of yesterday?" [pg 3]
Kabito tells Nicodemo, "the tree climber begins from the bottom, not top." [pg 53]
Through this Proverb, Kabito wishes to be informed the terms of service of the committee before their meeting.
