My First Visit

During my first visit to Village of Umofia, I really got a chance to admire the photographs. Seeing the photos definetely helped to put together more of an idea of the setting of the book Things Fall Apart. Reading the books descriptions of what life was like is not as interesting as the photos within the virtual world. The virtual world brings the book to life so much more, because the reader can not only hear about it, but this way they can actually grasp and idea of what things really looked liked.

One of the pictures that I really admired within the vistual world was this picture of the meeting room. I was amazed at all of the detail that was put into making this room. Giving when the book was said to take place, I would not have imagined that such detail and skill would have exsisted in such high quality. That is almost a sad thing to say. But many times when I have learned about African villages they are more remote villages with just huts. I have never really seen anything this detailed and honestly beautiful!

I also wanted to show a picture of the meeting hall. I find it interesting tthat even then the roof construction was very similar to what we do now. That shows that even after all these years somethings will always remain the same.
