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.
