a. Paragraph of Text-to-Text/Self/World Connection 9-11 While reading the 3 chapters from chapter 9 to 11, from the book //Things Fall Apart//, I noticed a connection between the book and the world. A connection i had found was that everywhere you go, there is always instinctive motherly love. In the book, Ekwefi follows Cheilo even aware of the far distance, darkness, hungriness, awareness that the God's might kill her and more. This can be found very easily in this world. In Korea, there is a saying, "For a porcupine, its baby is the prettiest of all." This saying was just made to talk about whatever other people say or think, for the mother the mothers baby is the most precious and important of all. When I read this book, I had also thought of a the movie that gave me a great impact of maternal love, "Flightplan."

b. Question


 * Why did Ezinma suddenly talk with her mother about the story of where the Snake-Lizard had killed its mother? Does this have to any relationship with the //ogbanje// evil children?
 * How is it that Okonkwo is somewhat more caring and protective of Ezinma than the others?

Was the judgement of //egwugu // reasonable? Why or why not? Kyu's Question: I do not think the judgement of egwugu was not reasonable. This is because one wine-palm of wine should not cover up all the beatings and mistreatment of the wife. I think the husband should of had a more harsher punishment for abusing his wife.
