The book Things Fall Apart is kind of a dry story in the very beginning. I lost interest until i read the forth chapter, then it started to get a little bit interesting. I am not really interested in the story, for the fact that I am not into the fictional and magical stories and just is not in my prefured reading choices. But it is starting to pick up in interest from it was before.
Here are a few little facts about the book and the African Culture.
It takes place in Africa, Kola nuts are considered sacred.
They also believe in having a Week of Peace, where everyone is not
hostile towards each other or anything, its a week to be kind and have
time to talk with neighbors without arguetive words.

Kelli,
Great post with specific details and personal thoughts. I really liked your summary facts about Africa and the novel's context.
What do you think of the Week of Peace? Would something like that be a good thing to try nowadays? Would it work? Why or why not?
