They were strict on how they wanted things to go, only certain people could go and see people.

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.]]> 2018-02-15 17:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232045531 https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232046296 2018-02-15 17:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232046296 https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232046636 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.]]> 2018-02-15 17:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232046636 https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232048608 he writes this book because he wants people to know that there are lots of people in the world and they all can live a differint way whether it was through government, what you believed, and the way you lived.]]> 2018-02-15 17:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232048608 https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232048825 2018-02-15 17:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232048825 https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232050778 okonwo is who i notice that is changing because he went from a boy with a worthless child that was feared to do things to a man and that now is a proud leader of his village/tribe and now taking care of multiple children]]> 2018-02-15 17:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232050778 https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232052771 2018-02-15 18:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232052771 fdougherty https://padlet.com/fdougherty/zvuuts5diy8t/wish/232087189
