12/08/07 Lit. Circle Pgs.1-77

For the first literature circle our group was assigned to read the first 33 pages of our book. The beginning or this book was a little confusing to me because of the way Achebe wrote his ideas. As I further read the book i appreciated his writing style much more than i had for many reasons including his descriptiveness and how he describes the characters. I really thought about what spencer said about Acheebes writing style. He told us that it may because Achebe is african that he is writing in a tribal sense rather than just for either himself or just one important person in the tribe. So far this book is starting to get interesting now that there is some actual action like when Okonkwo is beating up his wife.
