{"Image DocumentName": "EX. C. L. N. T. M. O. D. P. A. R. G. H.", "Image ImageDescription": "Okonkwo ruled his household with a heavy hand (13). This statement describes the power of Okonkwo, who is respected thoughout Umuofia and the neighboring villages. He is indeed a strong man, but how is life for his children, especially a son? Chinua Achebe uses characterization in depicting Nwoye in Things Fall Apart. The young 13-year-old boy is always nagged and beaten by his father because Okonkwo thinks Nwoye is lazy (14). Okonkwo fears Nwoye is going to end up like Nwoye\u2019s unaccomplished grandfather, Unoka. The text does not support Okonkwo\u2019s fear. Actually, Nwoye looks up to his father, but the young boy is plagued by Okonkwo\u2019s own insecurities. All in all, Achebe gives readers a quaint but powerful image of Nwoye, the son of Umuofia\u2019s most respected man.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
