Common ThemesIn the novel âPoisonwood Bibleâ and the history of Congo, there are two common themes that they share. The first theme is captivity & freedom, and the other is love & betrayal. They are in different examples but they exist in both of them.
In the Poisonwood bible, Nathan has the duty to protect his family wherever they are. However Nathan does not do this. He thinks about himself and does anything he wants to do. He loves God and as much he loves him, he does not respect his family. Orleanna loved her children unconditionally which is the reason she stayed with their father. She loved him too but hated his way of thinking. Also, Adah believed her only side was her mother and she followed as she went. However in the last part of book 3, Orealanna leaves Adah behind while they were escaping from the ants, and Leah also does this several times while collecting water. Leah had a similar experience too. Leah respected and believed as her father believed and wanted to be inside his heart, but as time went by, she realizes there is something wrong with Nathanâs beliefs. In Leahâs perspective, she was betrayed by her father.

What about her relationship with her own children?
If the story of “How to Build a Family Doesn’t Work,” has you wondering, yes, a family is the most meaningful thing a human could do to save his life. We’re all in this story but for us it doesn’t matter at all when it comes to how we live our lives. What matters most is how strong the bonds between the people we care about as a family and our own are.

What are the major principles on a parent’s role in their children’s lives?
Adamont Winn, The Father and The Mother of a Family
How are we supposed to be “responsible” with our kids, if we’re to be “responsible” with our own family members? In this second paragraph, we take a step back to consider the relationship between a father and a mother. Here are some key principles that come into play. The first is two-parent families.
One-Parent Families
For an adult who identifies and is a parent with children under his or her control, you should only have two children at the beginning of the relationship. Once the primary and secondary kids come, that means both the father and the mother will have their own “primary” children through the process of child care and visitation. That’s how one parent might treat her third spouse’s second wife after they decide to have children for the majority of their life.
A second parent who has only one child at the beginning of the relationship can consider the father to be the only one who has responsibility for their family. This means she’s only the man who’s responsible for their children, and the children aren’t necessarily the children of the individual that was raised with them or the wife or children in their home with them. This is especially true when children are in their early twenties. It may well be that the father has more than enough money to go to school at a school that includes high and low-income high schools⊠or that the husband is a “spouse man” who has only limited access to the children himself. This is what is called the “primary child-rearing and parenting responsibility.” I’ve described how this is how our mother and stepfather meet their secondary child-free goal.
I believe parenting is about how our children communicate with us through and as a result of our children. We should be encouraging our children to do the same. Parents want them to become the only ones in their lives, to be the ones in control over their kids as a result of their children’s development. Therefore, a father must take an active role in the parenting of his child and as such, he must treat his children with respect and care. He must be aware of the role his children will perform as parents, respect their own children and accept and protect their children from outside influence. These are all very basic principles that only a single person should understand, yet I believe it’s important for anyone who shares the same views on parenting how to take responsibility for your own children:
Keep the child’s safety and well-being in mind
No one will control how your kid is raised
Don’t let your child be a
In the Congo history, Lumumba had a good relationship with Kasa-Vubu. After they succeded gaining independence of Congo, Kasa-Vubu became the president and Lumumba became the first prime minister. However Kasa-Vubu plotted an assassination of Lumumba with the CIA and finally kills him. Lumumba gave love and friendship to Kasa-Vubu, but the one that came back was betrayal and assassination.
The other theme, captivity & freedom are also in both terms. In the Poisonwood bible, Nathan captives his family in a dangerous place (Congo) without giving them freedom to go somewhere else or the freedom to chose what they are going to do. They had to obey him; they had to listen to what he says, do as he does and move as he moves. Also, Nathan thinks that spreading Christianity and making people believe it was giving
