Respect The Architects…

Chinua Achebe THINGS FALL APART

Rest In Prophetic Prose to Chinua Achebe.

I read this book in the 6th grade and my teacher went back to my parents and told them I might be turning into a revolutionary. Ha, never that.

Revolution is the act of revolving in a circle. Time lapses and you return to the position you were previously in. I am the high evolutionary. Forever moving upward. Onward.

Chinua Achebe was an author who understood the difficult compromises Africans must make living thru Western culture while trying to maintain their traditions and values. Unfortunately, things fall apart.

Peace to Okonkwo.
