Syntax

In Achebe's book Things Fall Apart, the way that he phrases the sentences is very unique, because of how he uses simple and short sentences. An  example of this can be seen in chapter 3, " Go home and work like a man" (Achebe 18). While this is a short sentence, a lot is being said from it. In the clans one must bring forth hard work and sacrifice in order to survive. In watching an interview with Chinua Achebe, he was asked "What made you write the book in the way that you did?" and he replied to that by saying "I did not choose how the book would be written, the novel itself choose how it was going to be written" (http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=4467)

"Eneke the bird says that since men have learned to shoot without missing, he has to learn to fly without perching" (Achebe 22).
