Things Fall Apart

At the end of the novel, the Commissioner has chosen the title of a book he plans to write about his time spent in Africa. The title will be The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger. Argue the extent to which Chinua Achebe effectively disputes the Commissioner’s idea for the title. Develop claim(s) and counterclaims fairly, supplying evidence for each while pointing out the strengths and limitations of both in a manner that anticipates the audiences knowledge level and concerns. Use evidence from both Things Fall Apart and any supplemental texts in your response.
