The Wrestling Match

Buchi Emecheta's short story, The Wrestling Match, is a tale of a small town in Nigeria, Africa who is having some problems with their young. The elders dicide to use their knowledge on things such as these and devise a plan to prove a very important point to the younglings. That point is, "In a good war, nobody wins." In the end that point is proved and widely understood. This book had an ending i would have to say i did not expect, but was pleased with.
