I have to give a book talk on Anowa with some type of visual aid. Do you have any suggestions on a visual aid for this book?

Perhaps the best visual aids to use in any presentation
speak to the overall themes, imagery, and characters depicted in the text. For the book
Anowa, here are some suggestions for visual
aids.


Theme visual aids: Customs and traditions of the
culture, importance of pride, aspects of actions, choices, and consequences. Portray
these by showing what customs are relevant in the text: marriage, a woman's place in the
home, owning of slaves.


Imagery visual aids: wedding bands,
chains, cleaning supplies and materials.


Character visual
aids: the disobedient daughter, the frustrated mother and father, the
husband.


Overall, you can easily tell a story using images
alone. While this is not the assignment, you can surely use the visual aids to enhance
your presentation on the text. Be sure to use things which highlight the text for you
and depict how you envisioned the characters and themes.
