Now that we have read Achebe’s novel, we begin the reflective task of discussing the novel in the context of your final Portfolio Project. To get started, is there a character with whom you identify or to whom you feel connected in some way? Think out this character’s point of view and how you relate specifically to it. Briefly examine that character’s place in the novel and in relation to what we have learned so far about literature. Tell your classmates about your chosen character, and talk briefly about how, at this early stage in the process, this character will impact your thesis for the Portfolio Project and your research.
