Nov. 14

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a great day!  Today we reviewed chapters 1-4 of Things Fall Apart.  

These chapters help the reader understand the clan of Umuofia and our main character Okonkwo.

For Homework: Read the following quote and discuss it's meaning.

"Okonkwo did as the priest said. He also took with him a pot of palm-wine. Inwardly, he was repentant. But he was not the man to go about telling his neighbors that he was in error. And so people said he had no respect for the gods of the clan. His enemies said his good fortune had gone to his head. They called him the little bird nza who so far forgot himself after a heavy meal that he challenged his chi." (This quote can be found in chapter 4, the 23 paragraph).

HINT: Okonkwo is not a person to show his emotions, but what did people think of him because he didn't show others he was sorry.
