Hello literary people,

I bet you ALL came here last night and were *sorely* disappointed not to find any new posts... I shall not disappoint you today.

Below are links to various pages that you would find useful in your understanding and appreciation of Things Fall Apart.

SparkNotes - http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/things/ Here you can find a plot overview, character analysis, themes, etc. Lots of information but not very deep. Good for a quick introduction.
CNN article talking about how/why Things Fall Apart is still relevant today - http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/books/02/19/chinua.achebe/
Some information about the Ibo people (nowadays they are called Igbo) - http://www.uiowa.edu/~africart/toc/people/Igbo.html
More on the Ibo people (check out the links on the page) - http://www.stfrancis.edu/en/student/achebe/chinua/igbo.htm

Remember to think about what you can learn about Ibo society from the extract I gave you, and think about the handout with Achebe's quotes.

If you don't do your homework I will eat you. (inspired by Swift)

See you on Monday!

- Ms J Ng
