“The elephant in the room 19”

Elephant in the room that’s so scary I will run like nobody’s business, I m very scared when it comes to wild animals especial elephant, what the elephant do in the house.

The elephant suppose to be in the zoo not in the house, which is there, is something wrong or bad that is going too happened or I don’t know. In African culture the animal is not suppose to be in the house, which means there, is something that wrong is going too happened. The meaning of the elephant in the room it was not about the origin of elephant but the author was being ironic, if you remember the term in African when there, is no food at home, we usually says (ikati ilele eziko) which there is no food at home. Same applies here it meant the same thing.

According to the author the message or idea was not the in the elephant, is just that the author was being ironically. Sometimes there is things that happened at your own home hood that you don’t want to be discussed or you in denial to speak out, so that is why the author would say “elephant in the room” he doesn’t want to say exactly what is going on, maybe he want to protect certain things, or maybe if he put it as it is he will ruined things.

That is why he rather says “ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM”
