He is not worthy of pity because he does everything for his own honor and does not care about how he treats his family. he does not give them a lot of respect and is more concerned about not turning into his father than anything else. 
2. no because different people cope and handle things differently. while okonkwo is very aggressive and short-tempered, not everyone is, not even everyone in his village is. there are calm people and there and not. you cannot base all of humanity on the thoughts and actions of one individual. okonkwo is not doomed because everyone has the opportunity to change and be great but they have to have the initiative to do so. if he really wanted to he could become more like his father or other individuals in his village. no because unoka is dead and therefore cannot exert any power on his son and cannot define him. okonkwo could change and be a different person even though he fears becoming like his father, who he dislikes greatly. there is nothing holding him back from being something different though, nothing but fear, which is not unoka's fault but rather okonkwo letting his own opinions manifest. ]]> 2018-01-11 13:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliephillips2693/de63fd41xi49/wish/220567008 https://padlet.com/emiliephillips2693/de63fd41xi49/wish/220567060 1. No, Okonkwo is not a tragic figure worth our pity. He has a very good reputation and he makes a lot of money. He is also en elder of the clan and well respected by almost everyone in the tribe. He lets his ego control his actions which does not make him look good in the readers eyes.

3.  Okonkwo is redeemable as a character in this story. He does have a strong spirit but it gets the best of him at times. His character is changing as we are reading and as we see a side of him we haven't. This shows he is learning from his mistakes and may e doing more good actions.
4. Okonkwo is a bad representative of Umofia because he isn't a normal person in the tribe and he has a lot of benefits most people do not. ]]> 2018-01-11 13:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliephillips2693/de63fd41xi49/wish/220567060 https://padlet.com/emiliephillips2693/de63fd41xi49/wish/220567172 4.
Okonokwo is not a good representative of the village. The rest of the village is religious, but Oknokwo is not. He is part of the elite, but most peope are less wealthy and lower in status. Achebe write through his eyes so that conflict can arise between the villagers an Okonkwo and form the story. Also, for "things to fall apart," someone must have a wealthy, well-founded life that falls apart.
1. Okonkwo doesn't deserve pity because he mistreats people lower in class and his wives. Though we can sympathize with his fear, it isn't always reasonable fear, and readers cannot understand it. His bad actions don't redeem his fears. Okonkwo is a tragic character because of his fear-driven accomplishments. Hi great accomplishments are built on a fear/weak-based foundation, and sometime these things will fall apart.]]> 2018-01-11 13:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliephillips2693/de63fd41xi49/wish/220567172 https://padlet.com/emiliephillips2693/de63fd41xi49/wish/220567485 1.) We do not believe that from this point in the book, Okonkwo is not worthy of our pity or a tragic figure. Okonkwo is still beating people a lot and not being sensible person at this point.
2.) Achebe's portrayal is a portrayal of society because Okonkwo does not show human emotions and hits first and thinks later which often happens in society when making decisions. Okonkwo is doomed. Eventually he will pick a fight with the wrong guy and will not keep his own dignity after that. Unoka took away the hope that he could have the families farm of become a true man based off of his fathers position.]]> 2018-01-11 13:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliephillips2693/de63fd41xi49/wish/220567485 https://padlet.com/emiliephillips2693/de63fd41xi49/wish/220567488 1. Okonkwo is a tragic figure because what we have read so far he is doesn't know how to show emotion and the only emotion he does know is anger. When it comes to showing sympathy or sadness he can't. No we do not pity him because he is a ruthless killer.
2. Yes, Okonkwo is redeemable if he is to owe up to his mistakes. If he were to change his ways dealing with his family and his community he might be able to be forgiven.
