When things fall apart

 

Okonkwo,a man well known for  his bravery in all villages,he came into eyes when at the age of 18 he won a wrestling match from amalzine,who was known by the name of cat because his back never touched ground.no wrestler from 9 villages had ever beaten him in a match.okonkwo,s appearance was like his character,hard.he hated unsuccessful men because he hated his past,his father,who did not left him anything to have a good start in his life.anoka,his father was very lazy had not even earned a single title which was considered prestigious but fortunately in umofia,okonwos village no was recognized by their back ground but by his hard work.okonkwo earned fame by beating amalzine,he had two barns and three wives just enough to be respected.Okonwo decided to change his misfortune and went to a healthy man of the village,nawakibia and asked him for some seeds thst he could plant to start `earning but luck did not favoured him as he planted the seeds and waited for the rain to come it did not and all his seeds were burned.then rain came and he again planted leftover seeds but now rain would not stopped and tubers would not grow until they received enough sunlight.Only that frightful year made okonkwo survive in the later years of his life.
