Simon Makonde

[senji]

Simon Makonde story was used to teach the indefinite article "a" but what is its interpretation from an adult's perspective. For me it summarizes the partially flawed societal expectation that man (including women) must follow a certain life path. Birth-education-material success/ reproduction- death

 

[Mangele]

Makonde was born on Sunday, goes to school on Monday , get a job on Tuesday, Married on Wensday, paid dowry on Thursday, \
Retired his job on Friday , Later died on Saturday

What's your interpretation of the story

 

[ChifuMbitika]

Each day of the week represents ten years. Thus he died at the age of seventy

 

[Chinja]

Life is short.

 

[inzhener otmetka]

Life is short.

How now?
Makonde could have died at the age of 120yrs....
ON A SATURDAY

 

[Tom Bayeye]

Makes you appreciate life when you look at makonde's of today be it male or female

 

[Brayo44ki]

Words are wind, we live we die and in between we get some.

 

[Lionheart]

Life is short.

How now?
Makonde could have died at the age of 120yrs....
ON A SATURDAY

Each day he lived counted for something. No day is empty of something he did, or something that happened to him. Fill your life with something, 'cause every day has a purpose.
