Explain why you think achebe chose to tell the story of the clashes between colonialism and african culture from an african point of view.

Chinua Achebe wrote about the way of life in Nigeria that avoided stereotyping African identity, and at the same time keeping a critical viewpoint of the actions humans take that lead to their downfall. The aim of Achebe´s fiction is to take normal everyday passions that are common to all human beings and expose them without falling prey to over-simplified stereotypes, which tend to dehumanize the subject of the story. In ´Things Fall Apart´, for example, the plight of the main character is described without resorting to any sort of value judgements on the village´s strict and un-western system of justice.

I hope I can help you :)

it is important so later on in life they . can solve issues like that or other tough times in their life.. and also have info on those topics.

they can talk about topics like that by sitting the person down and talking with them.

explanation:

figurative language is a resource that fiction writers use to make better descriptions of what they want to write about or express. they can improve their stories, as they can elaborate more vivid and colorful sentences. this way, the reader will be able to have more detailed images in his/her mind.

places, objects, people and even feelings or emotions can be described with a lot of detail to metaphors, similes and personifications. making different kinds of comparisons to make a description more specific, as well as assigning human qualities to non-human objects (and vice-versa) can be very useful for science fiction writers.  

on the other hand, alliterations allow writers to elaborate more entertaining and creative sentences. it consists in using a sequence of words that start with the same consonant letter. they can be used to emphasize something important the writer wants to express, or just as a fun literary device.
