Excerpt

Born a last born of elderly parents, Ododo Lehita had nurtured the babysh qualities of many a last born. Old Lehita could not train him into lixapata and lipapata techniques of hunting as was the tradition in Leopardom. At sixteen, Ododo had lost his father to the leveller of all distinctions in Animalia. His mother's attempts to teach him hit the wall. Ododo lehita was beyond reasonable doubt a pampered cub.

Reviewed by Andrew Nyongesa 1/5/2015
Rodedom is derived from two words: RODENT and DOM to mean Kingdom of Rodents. The four rodent kingdoms in the story are Squrreldom, Haredom, Ratdom and Hedgehoga. The rodents represent Africa:

Squrreldom- North Africa

Haredom- West Africa

Ratdom- East Africa

Hedgehoga- South Africa

CATDOM on the other hand represents the West:

Liondom- The United States

Leopardom-

Hyenardom_

Tigerdom-

Cheetahdom-

Foxdom-

(Read and fill n the above blank spaces).



The novel is based on the proposition that if Africa unites, it can rise to a superpower status. The allegorical structure of the novel has made it difficult for readers to understand. Most European scholars have described it as fantasy but it a realistc novel based on historical facts, for instance the Second World War, the Cold War and the crucial role played by Sir Winston Churchil(cat Wintony), Franklin Delano Roosevelt (lion RuserI) and Otto Von Bismark (Leopard Lotto Von)in world history. Identify the following animals:

Lehita Ododo-----

Samorenda Eserata

Gameel------
