PARLIAMENT OF OWLS RELEVANCE OF THE TITLE OF THE TEXT.

Image
The playwright of the parliament of Owls Asipo Sidang has used a cover for his book. The book has a drawing of a group of Owls-parliament. They are sitted together as one . In a reflective perspective, our society has its own leaders who   sit in the parliament and discuss issues which they know are fit to   manage and lead those they govern. The title of the play therefore reflects the political status in the country-Kenya. We have leaders who rule based on their own understanding and will.   The text should not be about the birds but it’s majorly about political leaders that we have in our country and hoe they rule those around them. While reading the text, the playwright has used the birds as his characters in the story.   For a clear understanding of the text, it is better that we read the story looking at it on a human perspective and not relating it to the birds. We will come across a group of Owls which is in position of making laws and in power. Lookin...

Parliament of Owls Summary.

Image
Parliament of Owls is a play that Adipo Sidang has written in form of an Allegory to hide the impact of the text- moral, social religious and political issues. Parliament of Owls is a political set text in a birds kingdom under the mysterious leadership of King Tula Nyongoro. The Royal regime is under the night birds who consider themselves as the only birds that are above the law. They consider themselves to be more intelligent than other birds and they are the ones who can make sound statutes   to govern the kingdom.   The irony is that their regulations are biased and do not amount to the problems encountered in the kingdom. Amongst them is Oyundi the fire flinch that organises a political demonstration against the parliament of Owls in the quest for change. The irony is that this bird is considered one of the tamest species in Africa- it is a small bird. As a female character, this bird is a threat to the nocturnal birds the Owls in the Royal kingdom.   This quest...

BURNOUT, DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE.

Image
  Like living between a rock and a hard place, life has suddenly become more difficult to understand.   With the many unemployment rates, crimes in the streets, environmental pollution and to top it all, the spiralling upward cost of living has made it even more stressful for the human race. Today’s society is full of people learning to get opportunities in the working environments. Unluckily even with their best quality acquired knowledge and skills with certification, there isn’t employment. Job markets have become so competitive that one has to fight through their ways to at least get recognised. This has happened through connections or even by lady luck's choice. Imagine a freshly made graduate from the University who has to fight for a chance in the working society.   There could be reasons why they fight for better chances.   Some want to get the jobs so that they can be fit in the society – prove that they are capable of being independent and that the...
