Man, things are going downhill pretty fast ever since Okonkwo got exiled. I was hoping that once he returns he’d be able redeem himself, as he always has been able to. I was kind of surprised also, because even though Nwoye has left him, he still had much to look forward to when he returns [...]

I basically want to research all the problems that occured with the british colonizing India to learn about what some of the negative affects might be. Although this is just one territories that Britain colonized it seems like it is the most interesting with Gandhi and how [...]
