Entry Fourteen



Chapter 13

This chapter did not have much about cognition and expression. Basically, Mr. Colin and Kenge go on a trip and visit a number of villages and Pygmy camps.

But there is one thing that I learned from this chapter:

Both African villagers and Pygmies are very hospitable people. That relates to cognition and expression because both value people: because people are valued, one is expected to be hospitable. For this reason, when the chief of the village of BaLese is completely inhospitable, it comes as a complete shock.

Brief Paragraph:
The theoretical framework of Particularism and Relativism is relevant to an analysis of this chapter. This chapter gives a lot of information about other Pygmy tribes, all of which are different and have their own unique quirks. It is important to take into account the similarities of the Pygmies and the historical background of each tribe, in addition to the uniqueness of each tribe.
