Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe Defend the following statement in 2 typed pages: Chinua Achebe’s classic novel “Things Fall Apart” examines morality in the context of global interaction, imperialism, and colonization.
- Present a clear defense of the idea that morality is centrally on display in TFA. Don’t just pick that which is most obvious…. search for the subtle.
- Have a title…be creative
- Avoid summary [for summary’s sake] at all costs.
- Your argument should be present throughout the paper. Do not get to the point in the last paragraphs. [Do not start the last paragraph with “in conclusion”… the entire paper is the conclusion]
- Be well written. First published in 1958 – the year after Ghana became the first African nation to gain independence, as Britain, France and Belgium started to recognize the end of colonialism in Africa and began their unseemly withdrawal – Chinua Achebe’s debut novel concerns itself with the events surrounding the start of this disastrous chapter in African history.
