Thesis part 2

 With reference to Things Fall Apart, discuss how an understanding of gender influences how the text may be understood.

      Thesis: With the novel, Things Fall Apart, it is understood that the gender roles are not very diverse, as one gender is given much power over the other. This is important as it may interpret how the characters, Okonkwo, of Things Fall Apart are very "un-evolved" as today's age gender equality is something many views as a good thing.

Topic sentence: Why does the author from Things Fall Apart have a very backward impression of women in the novel?
