Problem & Achebe

The characters in my problem are basically most of my family, but especially my dad. The setting is all of my life.

The monster in Achebe are the people in general who went to Africa and destroyed an unchanging tribe. Before they arrived they had their own culture and their own traditions. Their uniqueness (if that's even a word) was then destroyed along with a few members and their culture was soon replaced. The monster might have came around due to their curiosity. Their way of life was completly different from eachothers and so the people with the stronger arms, destroyed the other. This story can relate to Pratt's claim "Kill the man, save the Indian."
Achebe doesn't really confirm Rousseau's idea of a savage because Rousseau describes his savage to live a simple life and not desiring too much, but the tribe is similar to a community and they have more desires, wants and need than Rousseaus description.
