In this essay I will be telling you who does Obeirika blame for Okonkwo's death and if he is justified in his claim.Obierika was Okonkwo's best friend and okonkwo's neighbor,he used to treat Okonkwo very well as a friend and always did good things for Okonkwo.He also worried about him when Okonkwo would go through hard times in his life.Okonkwo would sometimes go to Obeirika for help when he has nothing to do when he was in trouble.He would also advice Okonkwo sometimes when he needs it.Obeirika had also visited Okonkwo when he was at his mothersland for seven years.
The people that Obeirika blamed for Okonkwo's death was the missionaries.The reason why that he blamed the missionaries for Okonkwo's death is because if they had'nt came to thier village then he wouldn't had killed himself.Another reason why he blamed him for his friends death is beacause if they did not come Okonkwo's son would not have been into the missionaries religion.
I also think that he blamed the missionaries is because the missionaries also got his whole famiy into the religion.The missionaries also had got half of the village under their control as christians.I also think that he blamed the missionaries for his freinds death is because if they hadn't built the church Okonkwo's family would not had been going to their church then he wouldn't had killed himself.
I really think that Obeirka had blamed the missionaries is because maybe his own family was begining to join their religion also.I also think that he blamed the missionaries for his friends death is maybe he was very emotional at the moment and that probably he was going to kill himself also.
I think that Obeirika was also justified in his claim because he was very emotional and serious about it.I also think that hewas justified in his claim because when his son became one of them and Okonkwo was very angry at that and he didnt like their religion at all.
In this seconed essay I will be telling you what the Author of the novel Things Fall Apart was trying to teach us about understanding the cultures.The cultures in this story are very interesting and very fun to celebrate.I think in this novel the Author was trying to make us understand that cultures can be shared all around the world and can be powerful and other cultuers can be very important to others
I also think that he was trying to explain that religions can also be shared in other clans and be praised in other ways.Religions can be expressed in different ways by other people who have the same religion and can also be worshiped in different ways.
I reallly think that the author is trying to make the world understand that religions can be the same and be shared all over the world but can be expressed in different ways that other peolpe can or might understand.
