He blames the nation's problems on the lack of leadership
04:06 - 04:08

04:41 - 04:41
Fall Apart.
04:46 - 04:48
Moving on, we get to the analysis of the book.
04:49 - 04:52
Things fall apart truly teaches us the struggle between change
04:53 - 04:59
and tradition actually provides a vivid, an affectionate description.
05:00 - 05:04
It's around the Brooklyn culture story centralizes more of its
05:04 - 05:08
focus on the highly respected leader of concord.
05:11 - 05:17
A typical conveys that reforms in society are inevitable arrests
05:19 - 05:24
the book, the communist, their main economy, economic activity.
05:28 - 05:30
We get down into the literary devices.
05:32 - 05:35
That's just a metaphor way in the, in the book,
05:36 - 05:38
this is a conch who was popularly called the role
05:38 - 05:44
of flame As he looked into log fire, he recalled
05:44 - 05:44
the name.
05:47 - 05:48
He was a flaming fire.
05:50 - 05:55
Another example is similarly, he drove him to kill himself
05:55 - 05:59
and now he will be very like a dog.
05:59 - 06:02
He's comparing the person who killed to a dog.
06:06 - 06:09
That's also symbols in the book, such as the tremble
06:10 - 06:13
drum, which civilized this unity, a symbol of unity.
06:15 - 06:21
And as you fear your mysticism, If he and his
06:22 - 06:26
men played monkey tricks, let's also exaggeration in the book
06:26 - 06:30
when he says when he slapped his wife's and child
06:31 - 06:34
in there, houses could hear him with.
06:36 - 06:40
There's more literary devices such as special education.
06:42 - 06:46
He heard the origin of the town Korea piercing the
06:46 - 06:47
still night air.
06:49 - 06:54
It it it exaggerates the characteristics of the careers voice.
06:56 - 06:56
Another personification.
06:57 - 07:01
Uh in the books, it says a concho was talked
07:02 - 07:02
with heat.
07:04 - 07:11
Well, realistically your anger, can I actually choke someone as
07:11 - 07:14
it is an emotion and not physical force?
07:15 - 07:18
It just shows how much hatred in Angola Congo had
07:19 - 07:20
towards white men.
07:25 - 07:28
Questions who was such a blessing to an audience?
07:30 - 07:30
Uh huh.
07:31 - 07:37
But that it should say um the uncle destined for
07:37 - 07:41
tragedy. Did you had sources?
07:43 - 07:46
It was his choices led him to study.
07:47 - 07:51
And the last question was, is there is there meaning
07:52 - 07:54
behind the title things fall apart.
07:59 - 07:59
That is it.
