 A Review of  'The Girl Child!' 
               By Emoruwa faith
 She's not just a female she's a home keeper, caretaker, risk bearer but for all her effort what does she get? DISCRIMINATION not only by her parents but by the nation at large. Some people say discrimination by parents is old fashion but it still happens. In the north young girls are sent to houses of older men to play wife with little or no education and the government does nothing to stop this. But that's not all take our present situation in borno state the women and girls suffer because of their father\husband is been accused of being a national threat. Are we to fault the females too for others mistake? They are being trampled upon their pride and dignity at put up for grabs and at stake. Some even make their argument biblical and say if not for eve we could have peace but if not for her there could have been no Abraham no issac no birth of great men. Sentimentally, I think it foolish for women to compare themselves to men because give us foodstuffs we make a meal, give us sperm we make children, give us a smile and we give all we have. We are multipliers. But what it's all unto vanity because our opinions don't seem to matter since we are still being looked down upon. Thank you
    Review.
The Story Teller: What's your impression of this piece?
Esther: Its  actually unique and empowering..it leaves the female readers with a certain confidence on how important they are...it triggers the girl child to see themselvs as multipliers nd healers of the society
The Story Teller: What words, phrases or clauses catches your attention?
Esther: The part where she said.....give us foodstuffs and would make a meal,give us sperm and we'll make children,give us a smile and we'll give you everything....signfying that we are multipliers.....it was awesome nd spectacular..... I also love the part where she saidthat without eve we wont have abraham, isacc etc....practically the piece was awesome as a whole
The Story Teller : So, we could say that this paragraph emphasizes the message of the piece..
 Esther: Yes.
 In other words..we could then say, it is metaphorical..
The Story Teller: Actually the entire piece is metaphorical...
 The Story Teller:There is hardly any use of figure of speech though...*.
 The Story Teller :What more can we observe? before we round up
Esther: I don't think there is any thing more....but if there is any then lets talk about it.              The Story  Teller: Okay...Well notedsther Navy: Its actually unique and empowering....it lives the female readers with a certain confidence on how important they are...it triggers the girl child to themselvs as multipliers nd healers of the society
The Story Teller: What words, phrases or clauses catches your attention?
Esther: The part which states:  everything.... signifying that we are multipliers.....it was awesome and spectacular..... I also love the  part where she said that without eve we wont have abraham,isacc etc....practically the piece was awesome as a whole.
The Story Teller: So, we could say that this paragraph emphasizes the message of the piece..
Esther : Yes.
In other words..we could then say, it is metaphorical..
The Story Teller: Actually the entire piece is metaphorical...
Esther : Yes.... that's true
The Story Teller: Faith, the writer of this piece also employs the use of _'Rhetorical Question_ to emphasize her message, where she ask: _"...are we to fault the females to for others' mistakes ?
 Esther: Yes.
The Story Teller: ...and that's what rhetorical questions does: it makes you to pause and ponder!🤔*
Esther:Yes...... It's for emphasis
Faith: It's something we can't answer at once.
Esther : Yes.
The Story Teller: You can also say: _Rhetorical questions bring the issue being addressed to light.
Esther : Yes...like you said..."pause nd ponder"
The Story Teller: Rhetorical question is reflective of the message/ issue..
The Story Teller: Then, what's your impression about the tone of language of Faith's Piece?
 Esther : Im not sure bt i tink its strong and aggresive
The Story Teller: Okay??
 Esther: Faith....is it?
Faith : I wanted it to be a wake up call to all both women and men to our worth.
 Faith: Yes
Esther:, we are waiting for your reasons.          
The Story Teller: I understand your intentions..I asked for the Tone of language..
 Esther Navy: The piece is something that was vehemently or strongly expressed
The Story Teller:  Yes👏👍 *I concur...*
 The Story Teller:That's  why I can also say The Tone of Language is serious.
 Esther : Yes......#not smiling
 The Story Teller:Yes oo!
 Esther: (laughs)
 The Story Teller: How can we then describe the use of words or vocabulary employed?*
 Esther : I luv d word....sentimental
 The Story Teller: Okay. We can also say that the writer employs unambiguous words or vocabulary*
There are words one can relate with easily, So, when you look at the entire piece, there is a constant parallel juxtaposition between the Strength of a woman and factors militating against it.
 The Story Teller: Do we observe any use of figure of speech?
 The Story Teller: The writer of the _Girl Child_, Faith has successfully used her poetic license to address the issues of utmost concern as far as the _'Girl Child'_is concerned.
There is hardly any use of figure of speech though...
 The Story Teller: What more can we observe?Before we round up.
Esther: I don't think there is any thing more....but if there is any then lets talk about it.                   
The Story  Teller: Okay...Well noted.
Story Teller: In conclusion, I would say, Faith, The writer has addressed the Topic successfully without any ambiguity.
Her coordinator could also be described as Simple.
Well-done Faith!!

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!  Don't worry this is not an alarm but I know it is worth your time. Have you ever come across little children who actually make use of vulgar languages like it was their nursery rhyme? It Beats your imagination, right? I have often wondered myself, who takes responsibility for this looseness? or is it just me that happens to be outdated? Hmmm, pardon me ooo. In retrospect, I remember growing up, there were places and words that were prohibited thus as a part of training, our association with friends were well checkmated. To a great extent, it really prevented some excesses, here and there. Time is evolving, likewise our norms. There is so much laxity now. Who is to blame? Parents? Teachers?Guardian? Whatever the case may be, there are loopholes and those loopholes must be attended to. We cannot afford to loose our children as a result of our own carelessness. These children are precious jewel we must keep, well protected and secured. We must be u...
