I chose the third question which asks whether I think Okonkwo is a hero or a victim. I think that he is a little bit of both.
First he is a hero because he always stands up for what is right in his own way. He doesn't go against his gods but against the people that would try to oppress him. He likes to fight but that is because the way his tribe feels about fighting. He is looked at highly for being a great fighter.
I also think he is a victim because everything that can go wrong does. Some examples of how life keeps taking turns for the worst is he kills the boy, he is banished, captured, and finally feels so badly that he dishonorably takes his own life.

ReplyDeleteThough you are setting up a short essay properly, you are not really addressing the question adequately. This question is asking you to make a case for one or the other. If you were to argue for hero: standing up for what is right and being a fighter would each need to get developed into their own paragraph. For victim: banished, captured, and feeling badly would each be individual paragraphs.
