In this portfolio, we explore the intricate themes presented in Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" through a feminist lens, focusing on the roles of wives and the concept of bride price. The study also examines the poem "Love Song (for Anna)" using the TP.CASTT method, uncovering deeper meanings and emotions. The assignment includes preparation for a novel test, with a thesis topic and outline due soon, while engaging with crucial chapters of the text.

  2. Bear with me my love in the hour of my silence; the air is crisscrossed by loud omens and songbirds fearing reprisals of middle day have hidden away their notes wrapped up in leaves of cocoyam . . . . What song shall I sing to you my love when a choir of squatting toads turns the stomach of the day with goitrous adoration of an infested swamp and purple-headed vultures at home stand sentry on the rooftop? I will sing only in waiting silence your power to bear my dream for me in your quiet eyes and wrap the dust of our blistered feet in golden anklets ready for the return someday of our banished dance. “Love Song (for Anna)” by Chinua Achebe
