Talk:The Mzungu Boy

Untitled
Hi!

I was very impressed reading this article. You have done excellent work! I think it is structured well, as it includes headings, subtitles, etc. Also in relation to the structure, I thought the organization of your summary by chapters made it easier for me to follow and have a better grasp for the plot. You’ve effectively used links to other Wikipedia articles, which I would like to add in my own. I especially enjoyed the “Historical and Political Implications” section. This was a great touch in the discussion on Mwangi’s book. I think it was necessary to include as the book is historically set in the 1950’s. It enhanced my interpretation of the novel, although I have not read it. It would be useful to expand more on character descriptions. Adding in a heading for your references would keep the flow of the structure. Overall, great work! There are plenty of great aspects of this article that I’d like to add to my own!

Hi David,

I just wanted to say that the article you've written so far is pretty phenomenal. The amount of detail included in this top notch and really paints a clear picture of the book so far. I think the Historical and Political Implications section is a genius idea that really allows you expand and further explore your novel. One recommendation I would make would be to include an image of the cover photo of The Mzungu Boy (which you can do through an easy printer scan as avoid any copyright issues). With that photo you can also include information like: the date of publication, the ISBN, where it was published, and what publishing house released it. You can take a look at any major books wiki-page to get a clearer idea of what I mean by this. Looks really good so far though!

suggestions and impressions
Hi there!

I really like your article so far. It is extremely well organized and easy to access. I like the conciseness of your summaries especially. My only suggestions might be to add a photo as well as publication information. And in addition, to expand on the historical relevance section. I realize that the topics you've already listed are quite loaded subjects and this might take time therefore it will take time to fill them but so far I'm really impressed. Great Job!

Great Work!
The way you have everything set up is very clear and easy to follow. Your information is very organized as it includes headings, sub-headings, etc. Your summaries are very concise and to the point. You really have some great work here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmhasset (talk • contribs) 14:52, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello,

The article is set up very nicely with the heading, subheadings, etc. Very easy to follow. In your section "receptions", I believe you need to put the title into italics. I like how the summaries are concise as the reader progresses through the chapters and the use of links is very well done. (Phoenix47.tm (talk) 19:27, 12 October 2017 (UTC))
