Reflection:

During this portion of the story, Okonkwo's family is telling folk stories. This reminds me alot of my family. When my dad gets home from work we always tell these stories of what happened throughout the day. I like to compare what i read to my own life and this is a perfect example of that. I can really compare my life to alot of qualities of Okonkwo. That is just what stood out to me during that time.

Reflection:

The story i liked the most during this time was when they told the story of the tortoise. The tortoise was not like with all the birds. The birds were having a dinner only for them and the tortoise wanted to go. He told all of them that he was nice now and had changed and they allowed him to come. In the end he twisted on them and made them give him all the food. He had fell from the sky when he jumped and landed hard enough but not to break but that is why their shell is hard and rough. This is just about karma. This is what i can really compare my life too. This happens to me all the time.
