Things Fall Apart

Part one of "Things Fall Apart" was good. I like it when the wives would tell their children stories because they were all very symbolic and of course there was a lesson to be learned in each story. I especially liked the one about the tortoise and the birds. It's always interesting to read a story that takes place in a totally different type of culture and way of living. I don't think I've ever really read a piece of literature that focuses on a specific tribe, or clan. Their concept of religion is really intriguing. It never fails to amaze me how differently some cultures view the world.
