Achebe Chinua written Things Fall Apart, the part of this text shows how the people of Umofia live in their traditional tribal style when death is presence throughout the text, Achebe uses devices such as foreshadowing and alliteration which builds up the climax constantly with the atmosphere, he builds tension, until the climax hits the readers with shock I, as a reader myself seen the ways of Achebe use of vocabulary and sentence structure which initiates the climax to silence.
The opening paragraph is short and on its own which stands out to the readers to show importance of the setting of what and where the story is placed. The opening sentence Achebe has used begins with “it was a great funeral” which shows juxtaposition, questions the reader how is a funeral great? The word ‘was’ tells the reader that something bad will happen which builds the up the climax.
