I could not find anything but this. Well written, but anyone noticed that pre-colonization english is different from American english like the one written here? Great essay by whomever student..

I enjoyed reading the is selection, it fits the perspective of the Districe Commissioner to the last point. ALthought some thing can be clarified and improved upon, it was still a great piece. WELL DONE... And i also gave props to the teacher who originally asigned this project. It has inspired many other High School Teachers to do the same, including myself.

It may be very well written and I don't dispute that- but it must be understood that this is a paper written by a student for english class. I just read the book this paper is associated with and to whoever wrote this- well done! This isnt a book, this isn’t even fact!

In the last 5 days I have read the classic bestseller, "Things Fall Apart", and found that it depicted a country whose culture was unchanged until the intervention of the European Colonials, just as they did to the Caribbean and the United States. These lands had inhabitants that new nothing else but their own culture and ways and resisted when they encounters those who were unfamiliar to them entered their lands. Hence, the many run-ins with the Native Americans (Mohicans, Seminoles, Apache, Sequoians). So, don’t be bothered by the ignoramus of a blogger, because that person with the insensitive response to this has dim-witted written across his forehead. Next time, try thinking first.

Sure it's different, and maybe even wrong, but in assuming something so strong, you inhibit the knowlege you will gain from each other. The author assumed that the people different from himself were heathens, but to the people of Umuofia, he was the heathen. And let's remember that the missionaries are coming into Umuofia, not the other way around. Definitely read "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, it will put everything in persepctive.
