- Okonkwo: he is seen by many of the men in the village as a person who is quick to dismiss those who do not agree with him. He is also so removed from his father's family that it could be seen that he knows nothing of or dismisses all the tender things in his life.
- Reverend James Smith: he is seen by the people of Umuofia as a tyrant. The stern way in which he presents himself to the village can cause some of the villagers believe that he lacks a mother's gentle hand.]]> 2017-09-01 13:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/20jlutz/ohg7o3x8ewiy/wish/184196664 20jlutz https://padlet.com/20jlutz/ohg7o3x8ewiy/wish/184200363 Conflicts:
- The conflict of imperialism in Umuofia vs. the villagers: The villagers see the missionaries as strange men who are lesser than them. The missionaries see the villagers like this as well. When the missionaries start claiming that the villagers know nothing and worship fake gods the villagers see the missionaries as cruel and forceful. When the villagers start to act in violent ways towards the missionaries by burning down the church. The villagers are seen as monsters who have no tenderness and are very violent towards outsiders. ]]> 2017-09-01 13:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/20jlutz/ohg7o3x8ewiy/wish/184200363 20jlutz https://padlet.com/20jlutz/ohg7o3x8ewiy/wish/184201507 "The old man bore no ill will towards Okonkwo. Indeed he respected him for his industry and success. But he was struck, as most people were, by Okonkwo's brusqueness in dealing with less successful men." (Chapter 4) 

"He condemned openly Mr. Brown's policy of compromise and accommodation. He saw things as black and white. And black was evil." (Chapter 22)

"When the egwugwu went away the red-earth church which Mr. Brown had built was a pile of earth and ashes."

People are not afraid to use you to get ahead and then leave you as soon as they get what they want. You may come in contact with people who you think are horrible human beings and have absolutely no compassion towards others.  ]]> 2017-09-01 13:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/20jlutz/ohg7o3x8ewiy/wish/184201577 hannah_rust https://padlet.com/20jlutz/ohg7o3x8ewiy/wish/186081163 While I think there is some truth to your interpretation, I think that there are more layers that you have not fully uncovered yet.  The proverb is trying to get at how there is something extraordinary about Okonkwo which calls into question if he is a common man or if there is something special about him that other men don't possess.  The man is saying this proverb to really accentuate the fact that Okonkwo's success is abnormal.

You don't have any warranting for your evidence! How is that evidence useful to your argument? Make sure that you don't just provide textual examples, but you explain how they prove your point. ]]> 2017-09-09 13:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/20jlutz/ohg7o3x8ewiy/wish/186081163
