Okonkwo and Nwoye:
Relationship is not good and Nwoye does not look up to Okonkwo.
The poem I found:
The son looks up to and loves his mother.

In my poem the child is loved and accepted for who they are. In the story OK beats NY if he is not exactly what OK wants. -Audrey Jackson

In "Things Fall Apart," Okonkwo sees his son Nwoye as lazy as it is explicitly explained on the bottom paragraph on page thirteen. In my poem, a child is thanking his mom for the love she gives to the kid.

About the Poem:
the Poem is very loving and sweet, unlike the relationship between Okonkwo and Nwoye. the parent is very patient and very willing to help. They let their emotions show through their actions
About Okonkwo and Nwoye's Relationship:
Their relationship is very brutal and mean. If Nwoye shows any kind of affection, Okonkwo will get mad. " No matter how prosperous a man was, if he was unable to rule his wife and children. he was  not really a man."

: relationship is good
: loving
: child looks up to her mom
Okonkwo and Unoka:
They're relationship is not strong because Unoka is a weak, worthless dude, therefore Okonkwo can not look up to him.

Not good

“Okonkwo’s first son, Nwoye, was then twelve years old but was already causing his father great anxiety for is incipient laziness. At any rate, that was how it looked to his father, and he sought to correct him by constant nagging and beating.”    pg. 13 & 14

Differences Between Poem and Okonkwo and Unoka Kirstein Whitaker

POEM: They tried so hard to make us see,We never listened, we only wanted to be free.
They gave us the tools to build our life,We broke all the rules with our own strife.
The more they tried to raise us the best,The easier it was to be just like the rest. No greater love has ever been,We will need our parents, again and again.

Unoka did not help Okonkwo with his future. Unoka did not give Okonkwo “the tools to build his life.”(pg.8)He also did not try to be the best father but ran away from his responsibility. Unlike the parent in the poem. “The more they tried to raise us the best…” Okonkwo did not need his father and in fact hated his very existence.(pg 13)
This poem has a very loving look at parenthood. The relationship between the child and their parent is an important relationship. The poem tells that the children will need their parents again and again. It also says ,”No greater love has ever been..” This gives the idea that there is love between the parent and child in this poem.

Poem:  I Love You
I am your parent and you are my child
i am your quiet place, you are my wild
i am your calm face, you are my giggle
i am your wait, you are my wiggle
i am your dinner, you are my chocolate cake
i am your your bed time you are my wide awake
i am your lullaby you are my peekaboo
i am your good night kiss, you are my I Love You

Mother keep referring as child as “baby boy”, and saying how much he’ll grow up being a strong and healthy.
Mother treats her baby boy like you should treat any other baby, with care.
Mother knows he will grow and cannot wait for it.
