In the text it says: "He walked back to his obi and awaited Ojiujo's return. And when she returned he beat her very heavily. In his anger he had forgotten it was the Week of Peace. His first two wives ran out in great alarm and plead with him that it was the sacred week. But Okonkwo was not the man to stop beating somebody half-way through, not even for fear of a goddess." (Achebe 30).]]> 2017-11-15 23:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/217052/jz9eb54rplxo/wish/207472005 217052 https://padlet.com/217052/jz9eb54rplxo/wish/207485499 Because Okonkwo did not want to stop beating his wife, he didn't want to be viewed as weak. Also overall he is a pretty violent guy, so it makes sense he would question it. He doesn't like peace, even if it's only for a few days]]> 2017-11-16 00:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/217052/jz9eb54rplxo/wish/207485499 217052 https://padlet.com/217052/jz9eb54rplxo/wish/207485575 As you can see from the text Okonkwo defies the idea of peace. He is violent, aggressive and agitated which is why he can't even stand the idea of temporary peace, even for a week. And we won't back down from beating someone, even in the fear of punishment from a goddess. ]]> 2017-11-16 00:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/217052/jz9eb54rplxo/wish/207485575 217052 https://padlet.com/217052/jz9eb54rplxo/wish/207485940 2017-11-16 00:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/217052/jz9eb54rplxo/wish/207485940 217052 https://padlet.com/217052/jz9eb54rplxo/wish/207485955 Viewpoint on attraction, and whether or not I should conform to 
From the time I was little I thought I had to like boys, and never really questioned it because I thought that was the only type of love.....And about a year ago I realized I don’t really know if I’m straight because I’ve never really been attracted to any boys, and due to the fact I’ve never been in a romantic relationship with anyone.

Whether or not I know my own sexuality, I still support the LGBTQ community with pride. I'm still unsure of my sexuality, but I'm not afraid to let people know. ]]> 2017-11-16 00:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/217052/jz9eb54rplxo/wish/207486227 217052 https://padlet.com/217052/jz9eb54rplxo/wish/207486272 Women's sufferage]]> 2017-11-16 00:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/217052/jz9eb54rplxo/wish/207486272 217052 https://padlet.com/217052/jz9eb54rplxo/wish/207486321 Groups of women question the law in which states women can't vote. According to the article: 19th Amendment "At the time the U.S. was founded, its female citizens did not share all of the same rights as men, including the right to vote.' (www.history.com).

The only time I really admitted my feelings was to a guy but I was sorta pressured into doing it by friends.
