Okonkwo from Things fall Apart
Is Okonkwo a hero destroyed by a changing world or fool responsible for his own doing?
Okonkwo can be viewed as a hero for not succumbing to the English world, or as a fool for allowing his pride to get the better of him. As a hero, he refuses to change the ways of tradition, trying to save his ancestry. As a fool, he becomes what he hates the most: a mess like his father. He defies his culture and, by trying so hard to succeed and refusing help, he becomes friendless and helpless, without anyone to turn to for support.

Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe



Okonkwo:



Known as a courageous and wealthy man throughout his tribe, Okonkwo is a severe man who often resorts to violence to make his points understood. He hated his father, Unoka, because he was a lazy debtor. Okonkwo made it a point in his life to set himself apart from his father by being well known and wealthy as well as becoming a great warrior in the tribal conflicts of Umuofia and the surrounding villages.

How was containment modified from 1945 to 1989 to fit presidential philosophies and changing world events?

Each president brought a different viewpoint and strategy. Kennedy tried to contain communism by showing armed force towards Cuba, making the space race an imperative,and by touting America's airforce with secret flyovers. Reagan was more political- he worked to rile up citizens of communist countries- and used them to help bring down communism without getting America's army involved.



Those are the best two examples I can think of, because currently George Bush is not really containing anything anymore. Before that there is Kuwait, there's Vietnam, and Korea. Those obviously are shows of armed force.

Time will change you. Life is a learning process, you will learn and implement if your are wise, which you are. I wouldn't call you conventional- you are caring, loving and honest. If only, the world could be like you.



Negative thoughts- Don't let them take over, think of what you love to eradicate such thoughts. Postive thoughts, what you have achieved and what you are going to achieve,



Be happy because your loved!

It's only an evil world if you focus on the negatives in life.



Surround yourself with positive people. Keep abreast of world events.

Try to change the things you can change and accept the things you can't.
