Review of "Dumb" Orphans
Posted: 11 Dec 2022, 06:59
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of ""Dumb" Orphans" by Allan Low.]
The fact is that every child is important and deserves the same quantity and quality of care, support, and provisions put in place by the government; inequality should be frowned upon.
Aiyasha, orphaned at the age of fifteen, is given the responsibility of taking care of seven other orphans without adequate food, good living conditions, and education. Amidst the taunts from Samu and Meyego, these did not stop looking on the bright side of life. Allan Low proves that something marvelous can still come out of the less privileged in his book, "Dumb" Orphans: A Bundu Bunch Trilogy.
Low looks into the affairs of man, including man's behavior when privileged with a powerful position. He gives a clear-cut distinction between how many egocentric leaders act when in power and how selfless leaders act when in power through the characters of Meyego, Initiwase's Chief Headman, and Aiyasha. He exposes the wickedness and cold-heartedness of the blacks towards the blacks. The author also talked about the many ills perpetuated on the less privileged ones in society, especially the orphans, by the very same ones who were meant to protect them and take a stand for them.
One interesting theme running through the story is the theme of resilience and determination. Although the Bundu Bunch were labeled 'dumb' by the other privileged children, resilience and determination was the spice that flavored their stay in Bundami. I discovered that these virtues are not for a select few. It is for all who would love to win the battle of life valiantly because, through resilience and determination, all you ever desire can and will be yours, just like Elah's dream came through.
The author establishes this point passionately. I saw that anyone willing and eager for success and ready to put in commensurate efforts would truly succeed and amount to something great. Every success begins first with willingness. I admire Sakhile singularly for her willingness and eagerness to learn new things. This stood her out from every other member of the Bundu family.
I love how the book was divided into three reasonably easy parts to read and grasp. Its tone, organization, structure, punctuation, and illustrations made this book a beautiful and inspiring story. I disliked nothing about the book. Though I stumbled on a couple of mistakes, it isn't enough to make me doubt that this book was still well-edited. Hence, in glad to rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
This book is an inspiring story every teenager should read, and I will recommend it to them. It should be included in the list of literary texts for schools.
