Meaningful Takeaway (An African Voice)

    Within the class discussion quite a number of points were raised, however the most relevant point was the effect Things Fall Apart had on other cultures and individuals. The group spent a fair bit amount of time discussing these points as they arise mainly due to the fact that almost everyone in the group had opinions on that specific part of the interview in An African Voice. As a whole, Things Fall Apart, for the readers, was somewhat relatable especially in the eyes of the colonized. Chinua  Achebe was surprised by this as he initially had no idea how the book was relatable to individuals in Korea and how the Korean readers were able mirror the colonization of Igboland to how the Japanese colonized Korea. The fact that Chinua Achebe was utterly surprised by his audience was also a topic raised in the discussion, however not the most meaningful takeaway.
