Dear Sam, A couple of weeks ago, I was tired all of the
time. I would find myself dragging my feet during
baseball practice. I was so tired that my mom said, "You
look like one of those zombies from a horror movie. Your
face is pale, your eyelids are drooping, and your words
sound like mumbles." After she said that, I started going
to sleep earlier every night. It wasn't easy to give up that
time in my day, but I can tell it was worth it because my
brain no longer feels like pancake batter! I can think
clearly, and my coach told me I was fielding the ball
better than ever. I suggest you get more sleep, Sam.

In things fall apart, why would okonkwo dislike the story of the quarrel between the earth and sky? it contains no violence. it is too foolish to believe. it is inappropriate for children. it represents his culture unfairly.
