A Note on Dialogue Journals...

Your dialogue journals should be a record of your reading, summarizing the chapters, but also a collection of artifacts, or evidence from the text that you will use to write an essay. The three main themes I want you to think about are:

1. The presence of a developed and complex culture evident in customs, practices, celebrations, ceremonies, cultural codes etc.
2. The clash of cultures when the Umuofia people collide with Europeans.
3. The development of Okonkwo as a character.

Gather evidence on these three themes and you will be golden.
