Mr. Roberts in da house!

Hello to a/s massive!

Just to let you I am online now and ready to go.
The questions for the recent homework (which some great people have completed) are as follows:
1) How does Achebe represent the dangers of the Ibo culture?
2) What is the significance of Achebe's simplistic lexis and syntax?
3) In what ways is innocence represented in Chapter 4?
4) Why is Achebe so descriptive of his atmosphere?
5) What is the significance of yam?

I shall be expecting this in on Thursday from everyone.

Cheers,
Mr. Roberts
