Quote: "All the grass had long been scorched brown, and the sands felt like live coals on the feet"

Reflection:

This author hands down is the best author that i have seen so far. I just love how he is so creative with his words and as shown in this quote, he makes these simple scenes feel so lively. I makes a reader feel as if they are in this world. He has a magnificent imagination. That is just what i like about him. I would really go and read another book by this author.

Reflection:

I have to say that in this story, i can really compare myself with alot of characteristics of Okonkwo. During this portion of the novel, Okonkwo is starting to really regret about what he has done during his lifetime. He always wanted to be a Lord of his clan, yet he made a wrong decision that messed his life up for good. This happens to me too. We are just human. We make wrong decisions sometimes yet we always got to pay for those wrongdoings.
