Things Fall Apart, by Achebe, is written in quite a fascinating way. Regardless of the language employed (English), he succeeds in getting the cadence of the Ibo people, and this is done by the use of dialogue. Achebe is characterized by his simplicity, directness and focus on nature. The goal is to make use of language to describe the way the Ibo see their world.

Achbe does not describe things too much. We can find a good example of this use of language in this brief story, where men constantly interrupt each other while giving an idea about the reason why the Umuike market is so full of people. These stories represent the way the people interact.

Ineed advice. i have a lot of friends at school but recently my best friend for some reason didn’t like our friend group. she wanted to switch to a new table during lunch. she said she found a new table where we would be welcomed if i wanted to come. i agreed because i knew i would continue to talk to them outside of lunch. after a month or two, my best friend got mad at our new lunch table group. so she left for a day or two, but i stayed because i actually kinda liked it there, even if it was kinda crazy. then she came back to the table. eventually i started to miss my old friends at my old lunch table. so i went over there for one lunch. then after lunch i sat at my new lunch spot before the bell rang. they all called me a traitor. so now i sit with my old lunch group, which is fine because i missed them, but i also miss my new, now old, lunch table. what should i do? p.s. sorry if you loose your last brain cells trying to understand this.
