Achebebs purpose for writing things fall apart was to show the authentic nature behind what was going on in Africa and to give an African perspective on colonization. The conundrum about how times magazine said a book written by a man who was not in Africa was the best book ever about african events, while Achebe felt the book was demeaning towards African culture because the hero was shown as a "nitwit" and "embarrassing" to African culture..

the author purpose is how he feels about how

His purpose for writing things fall apart is to give people scenarios or something they can relate to. There are many different characters he portrays with different personalities. For example he gives a scenario between a father and a son, and they're conflicts that I'm sure that some people can relate to. He also wrote it to shed light on beliefs in the Igbo cuture.

Achebe writing "Things Fall Apart" was to tell people about the  actual life and culture about the Nigerian life. People like Time Magazines says, "it was the best book written about Africa", but Achebe feels as though people are not really depicting African people what they actually are. Instead they are really depicting them as embarrassing nitwit's, as Achebe states in the article.

Achebe's purpose was to present a complex, dynamic society to western audience who perceived African society as primitive ,simple and backward. For example in Nigeria they will see the "hero" as a nitwit and if you were in another state you would see the guy as a real life hero that really does stuff.

The author's purpose of writing this story was to show the life of a African and what and also there life style and what they went through. For example the author wrote an article that had an image in it and tat image made the author feel some type way and also he felt disrespected.

Achebes purpose was to make the true connection that others are trying to tell about such as the things that go on in Africa which has also opened our author Achebe's eyes too the actual reality. "Time magazine had recently declared Mister Johnson the “best book ever written about Africa,” but Achebe and his classmates had quite a different reaction. The students saw the Nigerian hero as an “embarrassing nitwit.”  This quote shows that achebe also makes his connection to clear the air about what actually goes on in Africa to negate false information that is poured out by false sources that an actual native can justify / object too.

I've Noticed how much Okonkwo doesn't want to be like his father.I"ve noticed that Okonkwo's father had a negative influence on Okonkwo and he(Okonkwo) doesn't want to be like him.

Okonkwo has a complex relationship with others. For example, Okonkwo enjoys him as a son, even though he is not his son, but controls the household with a heavy hand, and does not show any emotion but anger. What this illustrates about how Okonkwo is that he is caring but unable to show his feelings.

in this book it shows that nothing last forever and that okonkwo's characters changes all the time and he has a tough relationsip with everyone and his only fear is being weak and that lead him to get into relationships with his wives.

Achebe's purpose of writing "Things Fall  Apart" was to show the lifestyle of  the African and to give off what they go through and how its not a regular life, they struggle in a different way. They were strict on how they wanted things to go, only certain people could go and see people. Talking to them was limited. #2: I'm noticing that Okonkwo is starting to compose all his anger that he normally shows and is giving out new and different energy to someone he brought into the world(his son) because he normally shows off anger or no emotion.

his main purpse is to explain that nothing is forever. also the lifestyle and culture of africans by showing their traditions

achebes purpose of writing things fall apart is to give an africans persective of the stories these europeans are writing. ''achebe realizes that mister johnson was just one in a long line of books written by westerns that presented africans to the world in a way that africans did not agree with'' which lead to achebe writing his own novel. this shows achebe felt so strongly about how they mispotrayed the igbo people and there culture that he did the research and wrote a whole novel.
