PH 1

I think that the father is interesting, especially when compared with Okonkwo, the other African father figure of these two African literature. Papa/Eugene is literally the opposite. And yet, he seems similar in how extreme he is. He only wants/expects the best, and is nearly as for the colonization as Okonkwo was against it (I also dislike him as much as I did Okonkwo, but that's my opinion). I also thought the rebellious son that each had was an interesting similarity. I should like to see if these parallels continue, and if so, how Papa/Eugene handles his adversities.
