    The novel, Graceland, tells a coming of age story about a young boy named Elvis Oke, who has big dreams to make something of himself in America, the land of the free. Through out this novel, major cultural and life changes come about. Generational differences from the elders to the youngest living generation are unmistakably present through out the whole story, especially after Elvis’s mother dies and him and his father move to Lagos. The corruption aspect of the governments in Africa changes as the story progresses as well. The occupations that Elvis has throughout the years of his story also change drastically after he takes the bold move to come to America. Elvis’s story shows us how African culture changes throughout the period of time in which this book was written to present day. There are many cultural aspects of the African culture that still remain strong and permanent but all societies make adjustments as the years go on merely because things change and if adjustments are not made then the people of the society may not be satisfied.…
