The above quote was made by Tomas Elemans who at the time of the quote worked for PVH as the brand protection Manager. He believes that Storytelling (literature) helps us to empathize with the condition of strangers. This is what is meant by the above quote: "<em>Literature </em><em>has a way of reminding us that the stranger is not so strange".</em>

<em />

<h3>How, according to Tomas Elemans does literature help us to connect with the stranger?</h3>

<em />

Again we turn to Elemans own words. He states that when we read of and imagine being the characters in stories, it helps us <em>transcend the here-and -now</em> thus reducing the focus on our ego or feeling of self-importance while improving our reflection. He says that fiction helps us to disconnect from ourselves and access our <em>emotional</em>, <em>empathetic </em>nature which we often neglect in our daily lives.

djyliett [7]

Things Fall Apart illustrates many different aspects of Igbo culture. For one, it shows us on may occasions they way they view religion. They are polytheistic, which means they worship many gods. Their gods and goddesses govern different aspects of the world and daily life, such as the earth goddess, Ani.

Different rituals and customs go along with each god. We can see this in the week of peace, which is observed to honor Ani so she will bless the crops. In addition, some of the gods have Oracles. These are basically their mouthpiece on earth. The Oracles will sometimes be possessed by their god, and the god will speak through them and tell the clan what they need to do.

The novel also explores non-religious aspects of Igbo culture. For example, we see and hear about the different ceremonies and rituals that surround courtship and marriage. Men almost always have more than one wife, an important cultural aspect. We also see how the clan conducts aspects of war, and some of how they keep and enforce law and order. Over the course of the novel we get to see a wide array of different aspects of Igbo life and culture. Not sure if this is at least two hundred words but hope it helps.

“Any further delay,” she said, “would result in a lawsuit.”

His latest story is titled “The Beginning of the End”; wouldn't a better title be “The End of the Beginning”?


paranthesis

When a parenthetical sentence exists on its own, the terminal punctuation goes inside the closing parenthesis.

She nonchalantly told us she would be spending her birthday in Venice (Italy, not California). (Unfortunately, we weren’t invited.)
