Hi, guys!
So here is the
prompt for your graded discussion, for those of you who did not take part in or
were absent when the graded small group discussions took place. Here is what
we're looking for:
A- Respond to the prompt. Use quotes or instances from the
book to support your thoughts on the subject. Make any connections you can or
just talk about your own experiences and thoughts. It helps to end your post in
a question, so that those reading can have something to directly responding to
instead of just saying, "I agree" or "I disagree".
B- Respond to AT LEAST two
other students' postings. Don't just write, "Yeah, bro, I agree," say WHY you
agree, or bring up a whole new position on a subject. The possibilities are
endless!!!
The discussion will be closed on the day before Tahnksgiving
break (so Tuesday, November 20).
Below is the question............. good
luck!
We
see in these chapters many changes, and we see that Okonkwo “deeply grieves” for
his tribe and kinsmen due to the White Man’s appearance. We see here the
different perspectives- we see the tribesmen who are still clinging to their
beliefs and their Gods, such as Okonkwo, and we have the White Man who is coming
in to “settle” the land, bringing with them new ideology and government.
Consider what the White Man perhaps has to offer Okonwko’s tribe: new medicine,
a new form of government, et cetera. Also consider the perspective of Okonkwo’s
tribesmen: this is their home where tradition means everything. Does the “white
man” have authority in Okonkwo’s tribe? Consider other times man has tried (and
perhaps succeeded…) in taking over land. Is this something that is a privilege
for the more powerful, or is it a degradation of the
victims?
