Okonkwo What?

Well after I got past all the crazy similar names I understood the story. The quiz he gave us on Thursday allowed me to answer things that were going through my mind the entire time such as why is the story named things fall apart my answer to this was something along the lines of because everything in the story fell apart even from the beginning from his father, Okonkwo was extremely disappointed in his father and tried never to become him. Other things that fell apart are his family, his eldest son ran off to be with the Christians, and in the very end it seemed like Okonkwo was just so fed up with everything falling apart that he fell apart. Another question I really was interested in was who was the other. Of course most of us put Okonkwo, but I also put his eldest son and his father, because just like his father Nywoe was a lazy man and he eventually left and became a Christian. Therefore this was an interesting reading and gave a greater insight of the civilizations of that time than I had ever read of heard of before.
