The Setting Sun And The Rolling World is a true story set in Zambia, Africa, about a rite of passage. Nahamo (Main Character) is departing from his father's (oId Musoni) home, but he is disappointed. OId Musoni was a farmer with tight budgets.

Nhamo wants to live on his own, but it appears that his father is trying to keep him from doing so. The father tells him not to go because he might end up homeless or something bad might happen to him, and he is afraid of what the real world will do to his son.

Main Conflict

The main conflict in the story was about how an old man named Musoni and his son named Nhamo.They agured about wheather the son should leave or not.Eventullay they came to an agreement that Nhamo would leave the house even though Musoni still feared for Nhamo's life.

The conflict was an external conflict since two people were arguing against each other.The conflict couldn't have been internal since no one was facing problems that only had to deal with them.The conflict couldn't have been man vs world because no one had any problems with the world it was only between Musoni and his son Nhamo.
