Paper Summary:
The paper reviews "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe and "Breath, Eyes, Memory" by Edwidge Danticat. After outlining each book's plot, the writer seeks common themes in the two works. The paper concludes by identifying change vs. tradition as the underlying commonality.From the Paper:
"To conclude, though their works are greatly different, both Chinua Achebe and Edwidge Danticat's novels share many similarities. Both Things Fall Apart by Achebe and Breath, Eyes, Memory by Danticat feature characters' whose past causes them pain day after day, as well as the often times violent response to the end of imperialism. Both novels also have the same basic theme: change versus tradition. In both cases, it appears that change has won out over tradition. It is up to the reader to decide if this particular change is necessarily a good or bad thing."More papers on Post-Colonial Literature:
