939 words
In Chris Andersons essay titled Forest of Voices
he talks about the forest around his house and
what it means to him. However there is a much
deeper meaning to his essay. Throughout the essay,

Acid rain is precipitation of higher than normal
acidity. Manmade increases in the acidity of

atmosphere where they combine with water vapor to
produce sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) and nitric acid
(HNO 3). The acids in the atmosphere are carried

I believe that the title Things Fall Apart refers
to the fact that without proper balance, things do
fall apart. The notion of balance in the novel is
an important theme throughout the book. Beginning
with the excerpt from Yeats poem, The Second
Coming, the concept of balance is stressed as
important; for without balance, order is lost. In
the novel, there is a system of balance, which the
Ibo culture seems to depend upon. It is when this
system is upset that things fall apart. Okonkwo,
