Determination means being firm,one continues to pursue their aim no matter what circumstances come their way.
Through the two daughters of Ole Kulet communicates a message of determination which in the end lead to the blossoming of the flowers.The two sisters all long had a desire to meet and work with Minik ene Nkoitoi,the Emakererei,who was their role model and mentor.Through their determination the two ultimately get to achieve this. Resian has to escape twice to get to minik while her sister is rescued after being forced to go through the cut.
We also see their determination to join Egerton University bearing fruits.From when we meet Resian,we learn of her desire to become Dr.Resian Kaelo after pursuing a degree at Egerton University.Her sister Taiyo too shares in this dream.Even when Taiyo does not raise the issue with her father as was asked by Resian ,She still hopes that he will let them join the university.This is why she raises the issue with him a second time even after he turned her proposition down the first time..
Their determination not to get circumcised is also evident.All along,the two swear that they would only be circumcised over their dead bodies.Although Taiyo does not escape,we see Resian's determination to escape saving her.While at Olorinkoi's home ,she is supposed to be circumcised the night that she escapes.Through the help of Nabaru,Resian keeps moving even if she is sick and weak.It is her resolve to escape the cut which sees her get into the lorry just before Olarinkoi catches up with them .She endures the tough journey and ultimately gets to Emakererei's ranch.Just as she is determined not to be circumcised,she is also determined not to be circumcised,she is also determined not to be married by the monster Oloisudori.
It is through resilience that Taiyo gets over the trauma of forced circumcision.The experience was so harrowing for her yet after some counselling and the support of her sister,Emakereri and Naburu she gets over the trauma and is ready to join the university.
