the fate of God/gods. The fate of a person given to them by God/gods is shown many times throughout Things Fall Apart and other writings by Chinua Achebe. According to Foley‚ the chi‚ “functions as the divine agent whereby an individual is created and through which that individual’s life-destiny is determined” (50). This quote clearly supports the theme of the gods dealing with the fate of an individual. Many times in Things Fall Apart‚ Achebe writes about Okonkwo’s chi‚ or personal god. Achebe’s writing

Post-Colonialism and Hybridity in a Culture Post-Colonialism is how a culture changes after ideas are dominated by new beliefs on how ways life should be. Hybridity‚ when talking about post-colonialism‚ can be described in two different ways.

Pirates and God Have Things in Common One might ask how the great and powerful God and scavenger scum pirates have things in common. It seems like a bit of a stretch‚ but if one were to really look deeply at the basic principles that the two stand by the difference gap closes immensely. One can not simply state that they are identical‚ because there are definitely some differences that are scarcely spread between their guidelines. The guidelines that are comparable are none other than the Ten Commandments

transcultural-hybrid novels are believed to create hybrid discourses that may destabilize meaning and identity as well. For Moslund‚ hybridity itself is a highly problematic term in this connection. It is used haphazardly in the field of migration literature to denote or connote states of both cultural fusion and multiplication‚ or amalgamation and doubleness (15).

Small Island is structured around four competing narratives each claiming historical truth and experience through shifts in setting and time. Levy’s historical novel is told through a series of extended analepsis that move back and forth between 1924 and 1948 as well as across national borders and cultures. Written more than fifty years after the first Windrush arrival‚ it creates a common narrative of nation and identity in order to understand the experiences of Black people in Post-Colonial Britain
