The personal history of an author can have a significant influence on the way meaning is constructed in his/her writing. Comment on specific instances of such influence in Things Fall Apart.
Thesis Statement: Chinua Achebe was a part of the first generation of Nigerians that benefitted from colonisation, however, valued their cultural traditions. This must be considered as an influence on the way Things Fall Apart was written as it allows the audience to communicate the understanding of colonisation.
Topic Sentence:
Achebe uses the secondary character, Mr. brown; to portray how cooperative the missionaries were to compensate both the Christian culture as well as the Igbo culture.
The use of secondary characters have influenced the way the audience interprets the colonisation; specifically when Achebe is trying to create a balance like through the characterisation of Mr. Smith, an extremist who is characterised as a very demanding character.
