The

novel “Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, while often thought to

offer readers an accurate portrait of Igbo or African culture in

general, often does not effectively represent the culture it seeks to

portray. More generally, one of the challenges of the fiction genre, and

of the frequent criticisms lodged against it, is the manner in which

history, people, and place are integrated into the narrative. Writing a

fictive narrative that is based on real people, places, and events poses

some inherent dangers, not the least of which is the possibility of

inaccurate or partial representation of Igbo culture.

This is particularly true for novelists who are writing about

non-Western cultures for Western audiences. Such is the case in “Things

Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, in which the author writes about members

of a Nigerian tribe.

Thanks

i think one answer could be this poet uses no rhyme.

to me i think class room sitting education is better. i do online school and i have not learned a think haha. when i sit in the classroom i just sit there and kind of pay attention but still i get so far ahead in the class when im doing online i have nothing else better to do but play video games and i sit in school and learn and have friends and just actually learn. when i'm doing online i sit here listing to music and get on and and look up the answers i guess that is my fault for being a cheater. but to be honest i think sitting in the classroom is better.
