Thesis: The
personal background from which Chinua Achebe wrote the novel, Things Fall
Apart, Is apparent throughout the novel and can be inferred from his portrayal
of Igbo society, Igbo Culture and the arrival of the Christian missionaries as
a means of catharsis and breaking the single story.
Topic Sentence 1:
Having grown up in the time of the Christian missionaries, Chinua, having
witnessed to the half-truths of the missionaries paints an accurate picture of
Igbo society, capturing it in its entirety and not in the savage manner it has
been depicted as previously.
Topic Sentence 2:
An Igbo man himself, Achebe is intentional in his description of Igbo culture,
illustrating its rich heritage in the manner he was never awakened to till
later in his life.
Topic 3: Exposed
to the Christian missionaries from an early age, Achebe paints an accurate
picture using his own upbringing in portraying the arrival of the missionaries
for both its positive and negative influences.
