When you are finished turn it in at the front of the room and quietly read while you wait for your classmate to finish.

Things Fall Apart Lead-in + Quote + CitationCommentary During the Feast of the Yam Okonkwo became angry at his second wife, “Okonkwo gave her a sound beating and left her and her only daughter weeping” (Achebe 38) Okonkwo demonstrates that he is quick to anger when he beats his second wife for removing leaves from a banana tree. He is very prideful and when she went against his wishes he punished her. “Okonkwo never showed any emotion openly, unless it be the emotion of anger. To show affection was a sign of weakness; the only thing worth demonstrating was strength” (Achebe 28) Okonkwo’s character is warped by his desire not to appear weak like his father. The only emotion he is willing to show is anger.
