Okonkwo
February 21, 2010
Power holds people high.
It also breaks people down.
Those who start with nothing rise to the top and overcome difficulties.
Some rise, some don’t.
“…who had risen so suddenly from great poverty and misfortune to be one of the lords of the clan.”
He holds power and respect.
Dignity and pride.
He is Okonkwo.
