    EXEMPLAR SENTENCES

    • Depicting the world of the Igbo people in the exposition, Achebe


    creates a sense of anticipation through the sensory language and,
    thus, the increasing tension of “drum beats” and the “spectators
    [holding] their breath”. This reveals the important role that male
    strength and authority holds within traditional Igbo communities as
    Okonkwo fights Amalinze, and ultimately triumphs.
