TFA #2

While reading Things Fall Apart, I think it started off very slow in the first part. Things started t pick up pace and get interesting after Ikemefuna was killed. We started to see how Okonkwo really felt about everything in his clan, and especially his son, Nwoye. Even though Nwoye was pretty much an outcast to his family, you could see how his mother still loved him and wanted him back, while Okonkwo wanted nothing to do with him. In part of Nwoye's weakness, that's what makes this book get interesting between Ezinma and Okonkwo. They have a lot of similarities between each other and it is pretty interesting to think about why Ezinma is so into being more masculine. We know it hurts  Okonkwo that she isn't a man, but maybe it is better for the family. All in all, parts two and three are much more interesting than the beginning of part one.
