April 4th (A day)

Read ch. 12 of Things Fall Apart and answer the following questions.

1. Why is everyone in the neighborhood in a "festive air"?
2. Why is Okonkwo so tired? (Describe what he did the last night.)
3. What does this show about Okonkwo?
4. What happens to cause all of the women to leave their cooking in a hurry?
5. What do the people sing about Okonkwo when they sing around the fire?
6. Do you see any similarities between the Ibo wedding traditions and those in the U.S.?

Then, we worked on revising senior speeches. Speeches will be presented the week after spring break, so don't forget which day you signed up for!
