Things fall about

In the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, one of the characters that interest me was Ikemefuna. Ikemefuna character traits were sharp, clever, hard working friendly. He was sharp because he was about to detect danger. For example when they were going to take him away, he knew something was going to happen and turned multiple times when they were discussing how to kill him. He's clever because he knew a lot of useful things to teach Nwoye. Ikemefuna was from Mbaino however he lived with Okonkwo in Igbo because the villages didn't want war and he was the price to pay for peace. Okonkwo think Ikemefuna as a son. He also liked him because who he was and what kind of character traits he has but Ikemefuna was treated the same as Okonkwo's family. Nwoye sees him as an older brother and trys to be like him because of how strong and manly he is. That's what kind of son Okonkwo wants.
