Answer 1

Answer:

Narrative style

Explanation:

Both the stories A grain of wheat and Dance of forest belong to Africa.While a grain of wheat is a but dark and realistic.The narrative is interesting and thrillin.Almost every character feels guilty about something in this novel, and those sources of guilt tend to derive from a betrayal of another character or of the Kenyan people. Mumbi has betrayed her husband, Karanja has betrayed his people by becoming a homeguard and Chief, and Mugo has betrayed Kihika. These characters manifest their guilt differently, with both Mumbi and Mugo eventually taking the path toward redemption while Karanja can only choose that of exile. Mumbi and Mugo's redemption comes from open confession of their sin and a willingness to accept the consequences

While Dance of forest starts with a tragedy and is supernatural as lead characters are dead.But gradually many characters decide to dance in forest despite all the sufferings they had in their life.Here the narrative has positivity.
