In Chinua Achebe's novel *Things Fall Apart*, the story alternates between two contrasting settings. Identify these two settings and explain how the timing of the Ichi ceremony within the Igbo calendar influences Okonkwo's actions in the chapter where he participates in Ikemefuna's death.
Answer Options
Correct Answer
A.
