 **a. Paragraph of Text-to-Text/Self/World Connection** While reading this book, I thought that it has lots of similarities with the Korean traditional stories. For example, they both have the settings as the farmer and both could have more than 1 wife. The biggest thing that I noticed was that they both thinks money, order and the manhood as significant. For example, in __The Things Fall Apart__ characters(farmers) work hard to earn money by the good yam harvest and could have few wives which indicates their fame and wealth. Also it is said in the text that the people wait until the wealthy person starts to eat. Moreover, it is true that Women in this book help planting, by Okonkwo keep hitting and shooting his wives I noticed that the man had the dominate power in the society. It is also true in many old Korean stories where characters live their life by farming and thinks the order and manner as the most important things. This is why we speak differently to the elders with the respectivity and bow to the elders. But when the character violated this rules or behaved un-religiously they were punished through many ways.

noticed the traditions are very unique in the book __The Things Fall Apart__. For example, in the text it says "My father told me that he had been told that in the past a man who broke the peace was dragged on the ground through the village until he died." This showed how much they opposed the evil sides of the person and punishments. It also had various festivals and holidays such as The New Yam Festival and the week of Peace. Moreover, many proverbs are shown in this book which are related to the plantings and the responsibility as the man.
 * b.. Paragraph regarding an Ibo cultural tradition mentioned in Ch. 3-6**

In addition, I also found a quote in the book which I thought was important. It was when the Ikemafuna behaved well in his new family and helped Okonkwo in plantings. "Ikemefuna had become to feel like a member of the Okonkwo family.” I felt like he and Nwoye will compete against each other to continue his family and lead it as the wealthy to cover the mistakes and shames from his step - father. Question: How did the order shown in this book?
 * c. A question in relation to either paragraph one or two**
