Things Fall Apart

I was pleasantly surprised after reading part one of 'Things Fall Apart'. I figured since the last few weeks of class we have focused on poetry, that would we be delving deeper into the use of poetry in a scholarly way. This book is much different from "My Emily Dickinson'. Part one was a simple story that told of a strong man living in a secluded village. I enjoyed how the text was so much easy to read. Not only that, but the story comes at face value and does not take much deciphering to understand. This is a nice break from looking at many possible meanings for a individual text. I think that moving on to this text will help give a good comparison between all the different types of literature that exist.
