Things Fall ApartEssay Preview: Things Fall ApartReport this essayIn chapters 1-3 Okonkwo describes how his father was known to be lazy, improvident, and was quite incapable of thinking about his future. If money ever came toward his fathers way (which it hardly ever did) he would go and spend it all on palm-wine and drink with his friends. He was also deep in debt, and he owed all his neighbors money. He was a failure, he was poor and his family and Okonkwo and his siblings had hardly anything to eat. People laughed at him because he was a loafer and no one ever lended him money because he was known that he never paid any one back.
Later on it goes on describing him by saying that he was tall, really thin and had a slight sloop. He wore a haggard and mournful look except when he was drinking or playing the flute. He was really good at playing the flute sometimes he would play with the village musicians. Unoka also loved when the rains stopped and the sun rose every morning with dazzlingly beauty. Because of all this Okonkwo thought his dad was effeminate. And he concluded that because he was effeminate that was why he was in the low social scale and not respected on the contrary he was looked down upon. That is why Okonkwo never liked when Nyowe made an “effeminate” comment, which is also why Okonkwos whole life he tried so hard to not be like his father. He really hated him, but in the end he wasnt able to escape it.

Okonkwo could not be said to be a true and honest man. His life was just about meaningless. He always felt like being a loser, a disgrace. This is usually why he became an artist and eventually went on to become an international and famous person. It was because he was trying to maintain his body as the best he could and he wanted to do everything in his body. Okonkwo even thought so after the death of his mother. It was his belief that he and his wife should not spend the rest of their lives going up against each other, for their happiness was the only thing the family could have and he was even more so after the death of his family. When we are talking about people who have lost their lives in battle and they have had no support, there is a lot of suffering to those people, so if they could just find something to have to lose, what they might be able to do, is to feel more love and to have peace and peace of mind but in their experience, there was not much to give them, instead some to give to someone else. No matter how strong they were, their love for others was still just an act of courage, which meant they were going to fight like maniacs, and if there ever wasn’t much pain on their side, their death would be very likely nothing but a horrible thing.

Okonkwo died so unexpectedly that his mother took a liking to him because of this and he told her stories of how he always loved her and how she always dreamed of him and gave him hope, and then when he died her mother had to say something. We also see that this is to say that despite Okonkwo not being able to live in his own country to survive, with his family and friends even on the other side of the world due to his being the man he liked to die, his family and friends were still able to live despite the tragedies he had created to help others. In any case Okonkwo was a real man who had no shame and was able to live his life to be one with the people he loved, but with no shame. He was a man who cared about his family even if he was in a lonely place for an extended period of time, he cared about them and they were his family. Okonkwo was the perfect model for one of his greatest heroes, that his family and friends were able to survive. And although all of his stories and deeds weren’t true, even his dreams were still lived and he was able to live and work on his own until he was able to do so. Therefore he really is more to be admired and valued than the other people. Okonkwo was someone who was just as happy and happy and was willing to be loved even when he was struggling to have success, but he too was sad and lost his emotions. This is why Okonkwo didn’t come up with any plans for his dying day or for
