Chinua Achebe

Things Fall Apart is an interesting piece of literature.  It has all the qualities of an epic story but also an old fashioned, oral tradition, legend.  This story has some qualities that it is more of a story with a moral.  I'm not quite sure how I feel about this piece but I enjoyed it overall.  I think part of the reason I like it is because the main character tries to be nothing like his father, which is exactly how I feel all the time.
