British fall

I believe the British fail because of the white people and the religion and Okokwo kills himself because he doesn't want change and he thinks that his best option. So i agree with how the story tells it cause it is realistic and makes perfect sense of it so i agree with the story on how the British fell.

Okonkwo putting his life back together

      In Things Fall Apart By Chinua Achebe the main character is Okonkwo. Two big pieces of Okonkwo's life that I believe have "Fallen Apart" are that he gets thrown out of his village and he loses his property.

      Okonkwo gets thrown out of his home when, at a warrior's funeral, he is shooting his gun with other people. His gun misfires and kills the boy of the man that's dead. Now Okonkwo has to flee the village or be killed.

       As a result of this accident, Okonkwo will have to leave the village with nothing. The people of his village with their  religion feel they have to burn his house and barns so there aren't any evil spirits left. Okonkwo has to stay out of the village now for seven years. Okonkwo has to start over in a new village.

       These problems in Okonkwo's life will need to be put back together. He has to redo his whole life. So Okonkwo has a lot of work ahead of him and he will have to put his life together piece by piece.

Inside my life

In my family household its works with my mom being the cook and cleaner. She always makes us clean a lot. My dad is always working outside around the house keeping it clean. I help him by mowing the yard with are riding mower and and other jobs. My sister helps my mom more by cleaning and helping inside the house.

Both of my parents treat my sister and me very equally i believe. They always split the chore equally so its fair and we don't fight. They have always spent the same amount of money on both of us for Christmas ans birthdays. That's why I believe we r treated equally.

My dad is the enforcer he will be the one to get mad and mom struggles trying to enforce rules usually. One example is when we were younger my dad had a thing called the spanking stick. When we did something we shouldn't he would spank us mom couldn't well she just didn't want to. And when mom wants something done she tells us to do it when dad wants something done he makes us do it.

So my house wouldn't run without my dad or mom working. because of how they work together are house runs smoother. I love how are house works and wouldn't change it if I could. Even though sometimes i really want to. :)
