problems/Achebe

1. Describe the characters and setting of your problem.
My problem was procrastination so the character/s in my problem is me. The setting can really be anywhere, but it's usually just me sitting in my room all night before a paper is due trying to pump it out.

2. a) Who/what is the monster in Achebe? What brought the monster about?
I would have to say that the moster inAchebe would have to be the imperialists who go to Africa. They go there, upset native life, tell them everything they've ever done was wrong, and try to change their religion. They really don't care about the native's feeling s about this, though. They only care about what they want. They just completely destroy the only way of life the natives have ever known.

2. b) After Achebe, what do we make of Rousseau's "savage"?

Achebe's idea of a "savage" does not confirm Rousseau's idea of a "savage" mainly because the "savages" in Things Fall Apart live in communities. They do not live isolated like the "savage" in Roussaeu's. Not only that but the Africans are more civilized than the natural man.
