Book: Things Fall Apart?

Question

can someone help me answer this question. In chapters one and two, rituals for certain occasions are described.Choose one of these rituals and describe them in detail.(hint: kola nuts and interclan feuds).

Answer 1

I would do the interclan feud one. (Hint: it's how Okonkwo gets the boy.) Not sure what you're asking, sounds pretty straightforward!

Answer 2

In societies without modern systems of transportation and
communication, namely that knowledge is localized and deprived of the beneficial influences from a great variety of outside and distant sources. Stories of other peoples, their beliefs and customs come into Umuofia only randomly and are subject to the whims of individual memory. The result is that Umuofia’s beliefs and cultural practices, while open to challenge and criticisms from inside do not have the kind of effective challenge from outside that can strengthen or replace them without seeking to destroy the main cultural fabric for exploitative reasons. Many cultures of the world, including the British one, abandoned some of their evil practices including the burning of innocent people at the stake as witches and oppression of women, without going through the process of colonization. There is evidence in Things Fall Apart that Umuofia also abandoned some evil practices on their own , although benign foreign influences would have helped to speed up the process.
