TFA #2
. In Things Fall Apart I thought it was a manly move of Nwoye to convert to Christianity. This shows that he is a man because he can make his own decisions without anybody’s help or advise. He converts to Christianity because he disagrees with his old religion when they killed Ikemefuna and the twins int the Evil Forest. Converting to Christianity was his answer to these unfortunate events that he witnessed happen. Nwoye shows Okonkwo his masculinity because of this decision that changed his view of life. It was easy for Nwoye to convert to Christianity because the white converters were nice and the religion was open to anyone willing to believe. I agree with Nwoye for making his own decisions because that is what growing up come with. It is a skill we must acquire to be independent and successful in life. Making our decisions based on our views can sway our decision because we would go with what we believe in.

Interesting interpretation here, Jared! I like the idea that Nwoye's conversion is a demonstration of his manliness and maturity, as if he is attempting to demand his father to look at him.
