This is a picture of male wrestlers I would also like to show a picture of female wrestlers. However I would like to use this example because in Things Fall Apart only the MEN wrestle to show how "strong" they were.

"Somebody was dead The cannon seemed to rend the sky. Di-go-go-di-go-di-di-go-go...……… AT last the man was name and people sighed 'E-u-u, Ezeudu is dead' A cold shiver ran down Okonkwo's back as he remembered the last time the old man had visited him. 'That boy calls you father,' he had said. 'Bear no had in his death.' "

Drums usually symbolize there is news in the village. Okonkwo's killing of Ikemefuna continues to affect him, though he would never show or admit this to anyone because he think showing emotions is to feminine.

By Manhattan DA Cyrus R. Vance, Jr.

I want to give you a glimpse into the violent and tragic world of domestic violence by telling you about a young woman named Sylvie Cachay.

Sylvie was a 33-year-old fashion designer in a highly-volatile relationship with her boyfriend, Nicholas Brooks, a drug user without a job or employment prospects. While Sylvie worked to succeed in the fast-paced New York City fashion industry, he spent his days sleeping at her apartment and spending the money she earned. She knew he cheated on her, and had previously paid for sex with women, but could not let go of him. She repeatedly attempted to break up with him, yet he always convinced her to take him back.

PREVIEW: "48 Hours: Death at Soho House"

We do not know exactly what was said in the early hours of December 9, 2010. But what we do know - what we proved at trial - was that Brooks strangled and forcibly drowned Sylvie in a hotel room bathtub. He left her body in the overflowing tub as he went to a bar, drank and used drugs, and later lied repeatedly to police. Though Sylvie tried multiple times to leave the tumultuous relationship, her promising future was cut short at the hands of a man who claimed to love her.

Sylvie's murder attracted international attention, but the vast majority of domestic violence murders do not. My office handles more than 5,600 domestic violence cases each year - this is just the number of cases in Manhattan alone. The cases range from verbal abuse, to stalking, to violent assaults.

And sometimes - far too frequently - these domestic violence cases become homicide cases. Here's another statistic - more than 1,000 women are murdered by a husband or boyfriend in the United States each year. Put another way, 30 percent of all of women killed in this country are killed by an intimate partner.

Domestic violence affects every community, across every ethnic group and socioeconomic class. It is a public health crisis - and one that is still severely under-reported. In New York, even as the citywide murder rate plunges to historic lows, domestic violence assaults and murders have not followed suit. As one observer put it, what good is living in the safest big city in the world if you are not safe in your own home?

What we see in so many cases is that domestic violence victims like Sylvie try to leave abusive relationships, but, for one reason or another, cannot. Abusers maintain a physical, emotional, and oftentimes financial hold over their victims, from which escape can seem impossible.

So what can we do to better help these victims? I believe that easily accessible resources that provide support and the means to leave abusive relationships are essential to combating domestic violence. When I first took office as the Manhattan DA four years ago, one of my top priorities was to open a Family Justice Center. After a great deal of support from the Mayor's office and advocacy groups across the city, I am excited to announce that the center will open next month.

This center will provide a wide range of services in one central location, including access to specialized prosecutors from my office, social service workers, civil attorneys, therapists, childcare, and more. New York City's other Family Justice Centers have already assisted more than 97,000 clients since 2005, and we anticipate helping thousands more in Manhattan.

We in law enforcement cannot combat domestic violence alone. Working together with advocates, survivors, and community members, we must continue to make resources more readily accessible, help victims create safe escape plans, and encourage the reporting of this all-too-often invisible crime. We must be a beacon of hope for the thousands of women who are in abusive relationships to see a way out before it is too late.

"The whole village turned out on the ilo, men women and children. Thy stood round in a huge circle leaving the center of the playground free. The elders and grandees of the village sat o their own stools brought there by their young sons or slaves."

Masculinity and strength are is something important  in Umuofia culture, so that is why wrestling is such a big tradition.

This image relates to the story because of the fact Okonkwo beat his wives.

" 'Who killed this tree? Or are you all deaf and dumb?' As a matter of fact the tree was very much alive. Okonkwo's second wife had merely cut a few leaves off of it to wrap some food, and she said so. Without further argument Okonkwo gave her sound beating and left her and her daughter weeping and her only daughter weeping ………. His anger thus satisfied, Okonkwo decided to go out hunting. He had an old rusty gun made by a clever blacksmith who had come to live in Umuofia long ago …. he was not a hunter. In fact he had not killed a rat with is gun. And so when he called Ikemefuna to fetch his gun, the wife who had just been beaten murmured something about guns that never shot. Unfortunately for her, Okonkwo heard it and ran madly into his room for the loaded gun, ran out again and aimed at her as she clambered over and dwarf wall of the barn." It seems as though whenever Okonkwo feels uncomfortable it makes him very angry , just as how his shame at the mockery of his father made him angry when young. And when he is angry he gets violent. The anger that he considers masculine turns out to have a lot of destructive potential. I think this distances Okonkwo from reality because in reality beating a woman is not okay although it happens a lot.

"Unoka was an ill-fated man. He had a bad chi or personal god, and evil fortune followed him to the earth goddess. When a man was afflicted with swelling in the stomach and the limbs he was not allowed to die in the house...…...Such was Unoka's fate. When they carried him away, he took with him his flute." Despite Unoka's laziness, his sad end is still attributed to his personal god. When Unoka died he carried his flute with him which was the object he loved but this also represented failings in his life.

"You, Unoka, are known in all the clan for the weakness of your machete and your hoe." This quote basically describes how Unoka does not have a strength within a machete and his hoe.
