Achebe gоes intо greаt detаil tо nаrrate the story of Ezinma and the medicine man. There are likely two reasons for this. One is related to the theme that all children love to seek and keep attention. The story is a bit humorous and helps the reader connect with the antics of a child who is happy to get all the attention of the adults, likely leading them on a merry chase: "'But you said it was where they bury children?' asked the medicine man. 'No,' said Ezinma, whose feeling of importance was manifest in her sprightly walk" (Achebe 81). She even leads the adults into deep brush and then turns around to retrace her steps...very much like a typical child in any culture. What is a second theme and explanation for Achebe's inclusion, especially given the outcome?
