we have finally finished reading things fall apart(a while ago but the reason I'm writing this blog at the moment is because I've been a little busy and haven't had time for them so today I'm going to probably have five blogs written today). i couldnt believe that okonkwo killed himself, i mean i really wanted to see a war. but i guess that the writer had his reasons, i really enjoyed the book, and i have to admit the symbolism was phenomenal. although i knew the ending because every kept telling me it was going to happen, i could only imagine what okonkwo was feeling. a man who thought very highly of his culture and clan being reduced to nothing but a helpless people in front of the "Superior" white man. he could not deal with the fact that this was happening, his people not even being able to fight back. if they did fight back they would have been killed since the white man had military superiority and geographical luck on there side. the white man drove okonkwo to his death a once very great man made to resort to suicide as an escape. also the fact that the district commissioner thought he knew everything about umoufia. he thought that they were beneath him. i hate when someone looks down on me its so demeaning. i mean i am a pretty laid back guy but i don't let something like this go. if was was part of the clan i would join okonkwo with his rebellion. i can sort of relate to him. anyways that's just my opinion if you have another, just comment.
