African Image


In this image I see african people gathering for a meeting or a celebration. Judging from the background it looks like they are in a forest. I don't quite know what the center of attention is, but from the expressions of their faces they are very intrigued. When I first saw this image it made me think about different parts in Things Fall Apart. One particular part, is when they all gathered at the market place to be informed of the killing of Ogbuefi Udo's wife. We you read something you try to picture an image of what your reading. This picture gave me somewhat of an idea and a connection of different meeting scences in Things Fall Apart.

Every time I went into a village in West Africa, there was always a celebration, and always drums and dancing.
