Things Fall Apart

I have to say I expected how this book ended. I had a feeling that Okonkwo was going to somehow die in the end. I guess I didn't really expect him to commit suicide. You couldn't put it past him though, he was a very impulsive and irrational person. For some reason I thought that he would have a horrible time while he was at his motherland but the sense of family and kinship seems to run high in these clans. I thought that the role of gender throughout the story was interesting. It was so drastic and seemed so alien compared to what we're use to. It was also interesting to see how the missionaries came to the clan in peace but then shook their whole world. Overall it was an alright book.
