Things Fall Apart

So far I have enjoyed "Things Fall Apart". While it can get confusing at times since so many names are similar, I for the most part like the tone and dialect the author uses. After getting into groups in class today, I could see how Achebe incorporated colonization in the book. On page 74, a few men joke about "the white skin" people and compares it to leprosy. At first, I didn't get the reference to colonization but after discussing it in class I saw the correlation. I also love how Achebe didn't make the entirety of the novel about colonization, but just gave his reader subtle hints. Well at least so far in part 1.
