Ok I'm sorry, but this book is not going very well with me so far. It just seems like a little kid's bedtime story! The sentences are just so simple and uninteresting. It just seems like all it's saying is 'Okonkwo is this" or "Okonkwo is that". It doesn't seem like there's much depth to it. I feel like i'm reading Pocohantus. After reading such a complicated novel like The Grapes of Wrath or a wordy play like Hamlet, I was caught off-guard by it's dull language.
Ok, ok maybe I'm being a little harsh, but it really is bothering me! And I'm sorry, but I'm really getting sick of reading the same story of tribes/groups being supressed! Sue me! I've heard the same story since I was in elementary school and, yes, I do feel bad for them, but honestly, I'm getting tired of reading it! I was finally relieved when we read Hamlet because at least he wasn't asking for sympathy. That's all I feel like whenever I read these types of books.
Well that was my rampage for this week. Comment if you disagree. Hopefully the book will get better!

things fall apart has got to be one of the most boring books ive ever laid eyes on. like maximum boring. lindsay as i read your post i could feel my self saying "amen!" in my head.
am i allowed to comment if i agree? haha
i know whatcha mean, i read things fall apart in 7th grade because my psycho teacher made us.
it was boring up until about chapter 7. it got a little more interesting then.
i dont know that its about tribes being supressed though.. he kinda points out a lot of things we would consider flaws. maybe he's criticizing them?
gotcha. When I heard 'tribe' I think I might have jumped to conclusions. I do that sometimes. I'll try to keep a more open mind and maybe start looking to see if maybe he is criticizing them
