Culture is a way of life of a group of people and is composed of beliefs, values, and symbols which are widely accepted. Being exposed to a different culture can often cause a cross-cultural transition and conflict. Barbara Kingsolver explores this transition in her novel, The Poisonwood Bible, as the Price family moves from Atlanta Georgia to the heart of the Congo. Select two characters from the novel who are affected by the cross-cultural transition and explore how it shapes their development and the overall meaning of the work as a whole.
