a. Paragraph of Text-to-Text/Self/World Connection 7-8 I could relate chapters 7 and 8 of the book Things Fall Apart with the world. I noticed some similarities in how the tribes viewed cultural differences. Just like there are many different cultural aspects and beliefs in every different country, i had learned that not all tribes followed the same rules and traditions but had their own way of believing for each different tribe. And we sometimes do not understand why other countries are acting like so, and it was similar in the book. The Igbo clan really couldnt understand and accept the differences of culture of the other clans. Another similarity among the book and the world was that people do not want to show their weakness in public. Just like how Okonkwo had to hide his weakness and miserableness of having to kill his already acceptable son by showing that he could strike Imefuena; people in this world are so. We do not want to show the world that we are weak, and so we try to hide our true inner feelings and end up doing stupid actions that only make us regret.

b. __Picuture__

c. Is the all so mighty Earth Goddess who had said to kill Okonkwos son, is it alright to keep believing in such of a goddess that says to strike down a family member?
