TFA: 11

A story with in this story is told in this chapter. The story is about a sly tourtouse. The tourtouse convinces and tricks the birds into letting him feast with them in the sky. This stroy kind of reminded me of the story of the cyclopse in The Odyssey. Odyseuss had to out wit the big stupid cyclopse by saying his name was no one, or maybe nobody, it was something like that. But in this story the tourtouse tricked the birds into saying that the feast is for all of us, meaning he could eat it too.
Next in the chapter Okonkwo's wife gets taken to the gods. Okonkwo is very worried about this and so is his wife, but if she does not go something really bad will happen. The are the gods of course. I mean they could do anything to anyone.

I like the connection to the Greek Mythology analogy. Nice touch! That's the sort of post you should be using the blog to make.

Gods??? This isn't right. Try the Oracle's cave. They didn't take his wife, they took his daughter, and his wife followed to the cave.

Are you sure you read this chapter?
