Celebrities › Re: Tonto Dikeh Tatoo's Her Whole Back [picture} ! by emofine(f): 8:06am On Oct 26, 2011

Very soon she for join enter Prison Break tongue

I don't really like the execution but the depiction is what I'm more interested in. It looks like there's a torn heart with horns on the top, with a hand taking ownership. The fingers of the hand resemble tentacles here and there seems (to me) to be a slight s[i]e[/i]xu[i]a[/i]l representation - two fingers locking one horn and another stroking the other horn . . the horn could be a phallic symbol. The rose on top of the female's hair also looks symbolic - heart denotes love, roses are often used as a gift to convey love. . . and then there's the female character. . . .

On the surface the tattoo looks really naff but I wonder what it truly symbolizes. . .it seems deep, it's quite thought provoking actually.

@Princek12 it's only now that I saw someone had a similar question to mine in which you supplied the answer to but I missed that post earlier on, thanks for posting the synopsis again however.

Your story does indeed sound good, and I would like to read it once it's out. . .so now having a gist of the tale I'm now beginning to think of the role of pidgin in the story.

Were you thinking of capturing the whole narrative in pidgin or only allowing certain characters to speak in pidgin, or is pidgin spoken depending on the setting (Nigeria/ America). . .I was just wondering. . .

Good luck with your novel all the same

Princek12:
I would hope that you will give my book a chance once it is completed. You may end up liking it. I think you will actually like it, so please don't write me off yet.

I take God beg you.

Prince na be joke before no be serious. . . yes I might like it, it would be nice if you could post a small sample here if you're so willing.

By the way what's your book about?

nagoma:
I thought Amos Tutuola wrote in the best English he could muster but had many construction and grammar issues, I didnt think it was pidgin English - was it really? My first contact with pidgin English was in Jagua Nana written by Cyperian Ekwensi, The main character -Jagua Nana and a number of other characters communicated entirely in pidgin English.
I think Ekwensi was a great writer - far greater than many celebrated ones , I just loved his books, - African Nights entertainment, the passport of mallam Iliya,[i][b]Drummer boy, Loko Town, People of the City, The Burning Grass among others. May his Soul Rest In Peace.[/i]

Okay, I know he never wrote in standardized English. . . I've never heard of Jagua Nana - but now it's on my list of novels to read.
