Daedalus Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Topic #1: The Tragic Hero and “Things Fall Apart” as a TragedyTopic #2: The Importance of Customs and Traditions in “Things Fall Apart”Topic #3: The Role of the Supernatural in “Things Fall Apart”These all sound okay... if you want to do a really excellent IOP you have to work on literary effects and also the purpose of such tools within the text. For example, with the role of the supernatural you could connect it with the perspective of the novel (from a native viewpoint) and maybe compare to other colonial books which are from the european perspective. What is the effect of this? You could argue, for example, that it gives the reader a more profound understanding of why colonization was deplorable.If you really can't decide which topic is better (and I tend to choose based on what I like/don't like) try making outlines for your presentation and seeing which one looks the best, considering the criteria.
