Hi my name is Sunday Aina. i was born on March 1st 1998 in Nigeria, came here when i was 11 in 2009. I am currently 16. I love running a lot. I participate in track and cross country. I'm an A' B' student. My favorite thing to do in my free time is watch movies. My future goal is to try to get scholarship for track and go to college to become a petroleum engineer.
Personal Connection:
In the story Nwoye didn't like how he was being treated by his father (Okonkwo) and seek refuge with the white missionaries. This is connected to be because i always try to stay away from home by doing track so i wouldn't have to go home early.
Text to text Connections: "The pearl" and "Things Fall Apart" both have something in common which is "Greed". in things fall apart Okonkwo was greedy for power and Kino from The pearl was greedy for wealth and the both characters endings did not turn out well.
Likes/ dislikes of novel:
My dislike about the novel is that the book is kind of boring because of the way the author was using his word. I like the novel because it taught some valuable lessons.
Lessons learned: i learned that you shouldn't try to live up to people's expectation. Okonkwo was worry about his image in the village and how h carries himself but ended up committing suicide when everyone turned against him.
