REFLECTIVE STATEMENT Response to interactive vocal on Chinua Achebes Things Fall away When I first read Chinua Achebes Things Fall obscure I found it very interesting how she was open to show us what was going on in Nigeria at that time, how he showed us the ways of living of the blacks, and whites werent the only ones who had a culture, still in fact were the ones who destroyed the African culture. Moreover during the interactive oral interesting themes and issues such as Town Unity and Culture were highlighted, which gave me an level(p) more distinct insight of the characters in the book and how they were affected by these things.Achebe uses the main character, Okwonko as a vessel to depict how Things Fall Apart in the novel, and through Okwonko we are able to adequately grasp a lot of cultural practices in Nigeria. Diction in this novel plays a major role, and it is through diction that many of the themes are unlocked and in addition the diction used in the novel, effectiv ely induces you into the culture and lifestyle of the Nigerians. Achebe uses Proverbs, oblivious Songs, Nigerian Words and Some Literary devices like metaphors and similes.These all raise to keeping you in-tune with what kind of setting you are in and in this bailiwick Nigeria. The women in this novel are characterized too be empowered and they really help to each one other, through Ezinma, who is even a little daughter and the only daughter from Okwonkos first wife, you can tell how sound willed she is, as she even tells her dad to eat his food when he wasnt in the right state, she was as well as even seen by Okwonko as the exalted son, in contrast to Nwoye who is actually even a boy.Okwonkos wives also in the novel stick together and look out for each other the prepare food for each others children when one happens not to be around and they also even go on to lie for each other.
