The representation of animals and their encounter with the hunter is intended to demonstrate the strength of nature and how human beings should respect it.
From the context of this question, we can see that you are referring to "Things Fall Apart." By reading this text, we can see that:
- Achebe aims to expose a narrative that shows the cultural values of the African people.
- These values are related to family, cultural pride, nationalism, and environmentalism.
- Environmentalism is very important in this text and is represented by the myths about animals and their relationship with human beings.
- These myths are intended to show how nature is a force that should be respected and although African societies understand this, the white men who invaded these societies do not understand.
- These myths, in addition to showing the relationship between men and nature, aim to show the spiritual values of African societies, especially the Igbo society.
Thus, we can see that the appearance of animals, taking power, and having encounters with hunters, is a way to show the strength of nature in a more comprehensible and dynamic way.

The poem uses dialect to convey the tone and mood. It also uses refrain, "ain't been no crystal stair" as emphasis. It adds imagery to the reader, "splinters" "tacks" "boards torn up" "places with no carpet" and "bare" which rhymes with stair. After "and places with no carpet on the floor-"
"bare"
The "-" adds a pause, adds emphasis to the exasperation and gives the reader time to take a breath.
"I'se a been a-climbin on" shows strength in the face of hardship. It contributes to the author's purpose by conveying the tone and mood of a working class, black person facing struggles of poverty and misfortune.
