    Seeing someone rise from poverty to riches inspires others to do the same, and this is Okonkwo’s story. Okonkwo’s father, Unoka “was lazy and improvident and was quite incapable of thinking about tomorrow. If any money came his way, and it seldom did, he immediately bought gourds of palm-wine, called round his neighbors, and made merry” (page 4). Having such a poor role model for a father would usually lead a son to follow in their footsteps, but Okonkwo breaks this chain by becoming one of the most powerful members of his clan. Okonkwo is driven to show that he is not lazy like his father, and he “was ruled by one passion – to hate everything that his father Unoka had loved.…

    When a culture full of not only ties to the Earth and the past, but also strong bonds between people, what force could possibly tear that culture apart? Chinua Achebe, in his novel Things Fall Apart, answers this question by bringing Christianity into the Ibo tribe in Africa, and shows the reader the changes and disruptions that occur. Achebe teaches the reader many lessons throughout the story of the Ibo tribe’s destruction from the infiltration of British Christianity. His lessons, however, can be summarized into one main sentence. Bringing new religion into a culture can help guide a society into better ways of life, showing the people kinder and more open traditions, but it can also pull families apart and break down a previously established…

    Things Fall Apart, written by Chinua Achebe and published originally in 1958, follows the life of Okonkwo, a member of the Nigerian Igbo culture, as European colonists arrive to Africa. Throughout the novel, Okonkwo and his family struggle through their day to day life, only made worse by the integration of European society in the village. Instead of offering the readers the more familiar, if not overtold, perspective of Europeans colonizing Africa, Achebe introduces a completely foreign culture. As the reader becomes more accustomed to the Igbo culture, the arrival of the Europeans can be better understood from both sides; while colonial apologists’ perspective is well known, Achebe criticizes colonialism from a fresh perspective. Achebe…

    The Unraveling of a Culture In Things Fall Apart, the missionaries bring with them to the village of the Ibo people a mindset and a way of living that the villagers were never previously exposed to.

Surprisingly, many more villagers came to accept the alternative than one would initially expect. At the same time, there were plenty of villagers who were opposed to the severance that the missionaries had come and caused within their culture, including one of its most respected warriors. The major, and perhaps most obvious disruption that the arrival of the missionaries had on the villagers throughout…

    Children’s Book Reflection Origo Deorum is a retelling Hesiod’s Theogony, a large-scale synthesis of Greek religious traditions and fables concerning the gods and the universe. The children’s book recounts the birth of the gods and the gradual emergence of Zeus’ dominance and his formation of cosmic order. The story is told in three stages, the castration of Oursanos by Cronos, the deception of Cronos by Gaia and Zeus, and the victory of the new gods over the Titans. The myth does not follow the pattern of a Judeo-Christian creation myth or Ovid’s Metamorphoses, where an omnipresent god or power is responsible for all of creation, but rather follows the procreative pattern of the human family.…
