Things Fall Apart: Chinua Achebe’s Snapshot of Nigerian Colonization
Chinua Achebe is a multi award-winning Nigerian writer and one of the most important African authors of all time. He is also the most translated – which is saying something, considering that he writes in English specifically for the purpose of bridging language barriers. His three most widely read novels form a sort of trio that explores Nigerian history during British colonization. By focusing on traditional Igbo culture, the novels provide a very human backdrop for the immense social changes that took place.
Things Fall Apart gives us a peek into Igbo culture during the period leading up to the violent British takeover of southern Nigeria. In addition to portraying the gradual imperial encroachment, it also emphasizes the danger of hyper-masculinity in tribal cultures. Our not entirely lovable protagonist, Okonkwo, does everything in his power to avoid resembling his dad, who is lazy and in debt and spends waaay too much time playing flute. Okonkwo works hard, wrestles even harder, and makes sure to beat his wives every now and then for good measure.
Life gets a lot more complicated when Okonkwo must adopt a boy from a neighboring village and starts to get all kinds of horrible, emasculating, fatherly feelings for him in the years that follow. Nevertheless, when the tribe decides to kill the boy, Okonkwo opts for participating in the murder – so nobody thinks he’s a softie. Things go from bad to worse when Okonkwo makes a bit of a social faux pas and accidentally shoots someone at a funeral. During his seven-year exile, Christian missionaries make their move on the village, symbolically leaving him totally helpless and out of place upon returning to his own home.
The second novel in the series, No Longer at Ease, takes a more contemporary look at Nigerian society. On the brink of Nigerian independence – that is, about sixtyish years after Things Fall Apart – it portrays the corruption and instability stamped indelibly onto society by colonial structures. (You know, just in time for Nigeria to try and do its own thing.) The story follows the blossoming career of Obi Okonkwo, an idealistic Young Politician who promises himself never, ever, ever! to give in to the bribery and corruption endemic to his country.
We all know how much success literary figures have making negative promises to themselves, but in case you still have hope, throw in a younger brother in need of college tuition, a showy politician’s lifestyle, a loan, a break-in, a forbidden love (no, really – forbidden) with a shunned member of Igbo society, and an expensive/controversial medical procedure. The picture we’re left with is of a social structure that is not only completely at odds with the surrounding culture, but also unequipped to promote the good intentions of individuals.
Arrow of God, the third in Achebe’s series, is sort of an in-between-quel, depicting the decline of Igbo culture during the period between Things Fall Apart and No Longer at Ease. Set in the Umuaro region, the story chronicles an Igbo village that is led by priest Ezeulu. Umuaro and the neighboring region of Okperi, led by a wealthy upstart named Nwaka, are on the brink of a war that the colonial British government has kept on ice for five years. While Ezeulu and his people worship the god Ulu, Nwaka supports a lesser god, Idemili – probably just to piss Ezeulu off.
War or no, these five years of resentment have had a devastating effect on the community. People within Umuaro stop trusting each other and, worse yet, Ezeulu and Nwaka’s respective followers begin poisoning one another. In the meantime, Christian missionaries take advantage of the situation by offering an alternative to either side of the feud. Compound this with an unsolicited appointment to the local British government, religious resistance, an arrest, and some sacred yams gone horribly wrong, and you get front-row tickets to the fragmentation of tribal society under colonialism.

Florida State Politicians
Should State Governments have more power than the Federal Government?
Well, growing up a southerner, I firmly believe that, State Governments would better represent me than some distant corrupt politician in washington, I mean I live in Florida, and I really think that a good honest hard working guy in Tallahassee would more likely have my interests at heart because he, is a Floridian like me, give me your opinions on this issue?
I agree and I am a liberal — I came to this conclusion under Bush and after that 8 years I will forever hold to the belief that the states should control the taxes
that whole America tried this at first is BS — it was developing country vs a developed big country — the problems we face now are not the same

Great! Let’s dive right in. Listed below are brief descriptions of the four basic personality types. Locate yours and take 30 seconds to read through it. Yellow Yellows are typically high-energy, chatty personalities with bright eyes and loud voices. They need to be the life of the party, want to have fun, and are always looking for the next adventure. They thrive on community and social contact. Popular and well-liked, they rarely ruffle others’ feathers intentionally but can sometimes be overwhelming with their need for attention, approval, affection and acceptance. They are optimistic, have great senses of humor and love to tell stories. They are natural persuaders, motivators and entertainers. On the downside they are often disorganized, struggle to follow-through and often appear lackadaisical and naïve. Typical reactions to stress include disappearing, going shopping, blaming others, and making up excuses. Yellows are typically PTA leaders, volunteers, entertainers and fundraisers. Red Reds live goal-oriented lives. They are the doers of the world and thrive on action. They are well-organized, outgoing, loyal, hard-workers. They tend to be unemotional in their decision-making, have a compulsive need for change, are confident, independent and good at delegating. Reds have a natural feel for being in charge and solid instincts about what will and won’t work in any given situation. On the downside they can sometimes be bossy, domineering, controlling and impatient. They typically react to stress by becoming more controlling, working harder and jettisoning anything that does not serve their higher purpose. Reds typically include executives, military leaders, entrepreneurs and politicians. Blue Blues are thoughtful, analytical, serious, purposeful people. They are also often creative, artistic, philosophical and poetic. The phrase “still waters run deep” comes to mind with this group. They are very sensitive to others, conscientious, appreciate beauty, have high standards and are idealistic. On the downside they can be perfectionists, get depressed easily, focus too much on details, are suspicious of others and take themselves too seriously. They tend to react to stress by withdrawing, getting lost in a book, giving up or recounting problems over and over. Blues typically include inspectors, analysts, counselors and artists. White Whites are quiet, low-key, don’t rock the boat kind of people. They are patient, well-balanced, consistent, have a dry sense of humor, avoid conflict, are good under pressure, easygoing and have many friends. They are sympathetic and kind, keep their emotions hidden and could be called the “all purpose person.” On the downside they can be lazy, unmotivated, expect others to handle their problems, lack decisiveness and can be extremely stubborn. They tend to react to stress by hiding from it, watching TV, eating or just tuning out. Whites typically include doctors, mediators, psychologists and dentists. **Now, for those of you who are wondering… • - No, this is not a complete description of each personality and the trigger words and phrases that appeal most to them. • - Yes, it’s perfectly normal to see characteristics of yourself in 2 categories and a small smattering in the others. And while we are all individuals and cannot be completely classified as one thing or another, you will notice that you PRIMARILY fit into one category and exhibit secondary traits of another. So how does knowing your personality-type help? Because knowing how you communicate with others gives you a clue as to whom you will have the most success selling. Step #2: Identifying Your Prospect’s Personality (by the way, this works on your spouse too 
) Now it’s time to pin the tail on your prospects. Think of one or two prospects to start, then expand your vision to the whole lot. Which of the above personalities best fits? During this exercise, you may even find that your product or service naturally appeals to one personality type over another. For example the detail-oriented, conscientious, by-the-book Blue is more likely to buy and use dietary supplements than the fun-loving, foot-loose and fancy-free Yellow. On the other hand, pitching a designer handbag to the society conscious Yellow is way more effective than selling it to the down-to-earth, practical and pragmatic Red. Does this mean certain products and services can ONLY be sold to certain personalities? Sometimes yes, but mostly the answer is no. The trick is simply figuring out which personality you want to sell to, then creating copy that clearly targets that audience using key words, phrases, analogies, benefits and pains that resonate most with that personality. Step #3: Resonating With Your Audience So how do you put this to work in your copy? I’ve listed 2 examples below. See if you can guess which personality-type is being targeted before you read the answer. Example 1: “Did you know 43% of all children don’t get enough Calcium in their diets? And that this deficit is responsible for 64% of all broken bones, 53% of reported cases of poor concentration in school and 24% of premature aging? Are you doing all you should be doing for your child?” Who do you think we’re targeting? Blues! How can you tell? Well, for one, we have specific numbers and detailed information, which this audience loves. We also play on their sense of social and personal responsibility. Remember Blues are “deep” people and very sensitive to the needs of others. What’s more they have a powerful need to be right, which means doing the “right” things for their children. Example 2: “When you cruise up to the premier social event of the year in your sleek new red convertible, you’re sure to be the envy of all your friends. Don’t let bad credit keep you from living the life you deserve, call 800-888-8888 today to learn how you can get back to the fun, adventurous lifestyle you were born to live!” Who’s the audience? Yellows! How can you tell? Well, we know Yellows are very motivated by what others think of them, they are social butterflies, image is extremely important to them and they often believe having fun is their birthright! Every word in this small excerpt was chosen to specifically highlight those characteristics. And while it may sound like a perfectly ridiculous argument to a Blue or Red, it sounds just divine to a Yellow! There you have it, a down and dirty overview of The Secret Language Your Prospects Are Speaking. As I said before, this truly is a thumbnail sketch of the components and elements that go into targeting and writing to specific personality types.

All finished? Great! Let’s dive right in. Listed below are brief descriptions of the four basic personality types. Locate yours and take 30 seconds to read through it.
Yellow
Yellows are typically high-energy, chatty personalities with bright eyes and loud voices. They need to be the life of the party, want to have fun, and are always looking for the next adventure. They thrive on community and social contact. Popular and well-liked, they rarely ruffle others’ feathers intentionally but can sometimes be overwhelming with their need for attention, approval, affection and acceptance.
They are optimistic, have great senses of humor and love to tell stories. They are natural persuaders, motivators and entertainers. On the downside they are often disorganized, struggle to follow-through and often appear lackadaisical and naïve. Typical reactions to stress include disappearing, going shopping, blaming others, and making up excuses.
Yellows are typically PTA leaders, volunteers, entertainers and fundraisers.
Red
Reds live goal-oriented lives. They are the doers of the world and thrive on action. They are well-organized, outgoing, loyal, hard-workers. They tend to be unemotional in their decision-making, have a compulsive need for change, are confident, independent and good at delegating. Reds have a natural feel for being in charge and solid instincts about what will and won’t work in any given situation.
On the downside they can sometimes be bossy, domineering, controlling and impatient. They typically react to stress by becoming more controlling, working harder and jettisoning anything that does not serve their higher purpose.
Reds typically include executives, military leaders, entrepreneurs and politicians.
Blue
Blues are thoughtful, analytical, serious, purposeful people. They are also often creative, artistic, philosophical and poetic. The phrase “still waters run deep” comes to mind with this group. They are very sensitive to others, conscientious, appreciate beauty, have high standards and are idealistic.
On the downside they can be perfectionists, get depressed easily, focus too much on details, are suspicious of others and take themselves too seriously. They tend to react to stress by withdrawing, getting lost in a book, giving up or recounting problems over and over.
Blues typically include inspectors, analysts, counselors and artists.
White
Whites are quiet, low-key, don’t rock the boat kind of people. They are patient, well-balanced, consistent, have a dry sense of humor, avoid conflict, are good under pressure, easygoing and have many friends. They are sympathetic and kind, keep their emotions hidden and could be called the “all purpose person.”
On the downside they can be lazy, unmotivated, expect others to handle their problems, lack decisiveness and can be extremely stubborn. They tend to react to stress by hiding from it, watching TV, eating or just tuning out.
Whites typically include doctors, mediators, psychologists and dentists.
**Now, for those of you who are wondering…
• - No, this is not a complete description of each personality and the trigger words and phrases that appeal most to them.
• - Yes, it’s perfectly normal to see characteristics of yourself in 2 categories and a small smattering in the others. And while we are all individuals and cannot be completely classified as one thing or another, you will notice that you PRIMARILY fit into one category and exhibit secondary traits of another.
So how does knowing your personality-type help? Because knowing how you communicate with others gives you a clue as to whom you will have the most success selling.
Step #2: Identifying Your Prospect’s Personality (by the way, this works on your spouse too )
Now it’s time to pin the tail on your prospects. Think of one or two prospects to start, then expand your vision to the whole lot. Which of the above personalities best fits?
During this exercise, you may even find that your product or service naturally appeals to one personality type over another. For example the detail-oriented, conscientious, by-the-book Blue is more likely to buy and use dietary supplements than the fun-loving, foot-loose and fancy-free Yellow.
On the other hand, pitching a designer handbag to the society conscious Yellow is way more effective than selling it to the down-to-earth, practical and pragmatic Red.
Does this mean certain products and services can ONLY be sold to certain personalities? Sometimes yes, but mostly the answer is no. The trick is simply figuring out which personality you want to sell to, then creating copy that clearly targets that audience using key words, phrases, analogies, benefits and pains that resonate most with that personality.
Step #3: Resonating With Your Audience
So how do you put this to work in your copy? I’ve listed 2 examples below. See if you can guess which personality-type is being targeted before you read the answer.
Example 1:
“Did you know 43% of all children don’t get enough Calcium in their diets? And that this deficit is responsible for 64% of all broken bones, 53% of reported cases of poor concentration in school and 24% of premature aging? Are you doing all you should be doing for your child?”
Who do you think we’re targeting? Blues! How can you tell? Well, for one, we have specific numbers and detailed information, which this audience loves. We also play on their sense of social and personal responsibility. Remember Blues are “deep” people and very sensitive to the needs of others. What’s more they have a powerful need to be right, which means doing the “right” things for their children.
Example 2:
“When you cruise up to the premier social event of the year in your sleek new red convertible, you’re sure to be the envy of all your friends. Don’t let bad credit keep you from living the life you deserve, call 800-888-8888 today to learn how you can get back to the fun, adventurous lifestyle you were born to live!”
Who’s the audience? Yellows! How can you tell? Well, we know Yellows are very motivated by what others think of them, they are social butterflies, image is extremely important to them and they often believe having fun is their birthright! Every word in this small excerpt was chosen to specifically highlight those characteristics. And while it may sound like a perfectly ridiculous argument to a Blue or Red, it sounds just divine to a Yellow!
