5 themes of Geography in "Things fall apart"

The 5 themes in geography are

Movement (people, ideas and transport).

  • The white men came. (page: 128)
  • Christianity came. (page: 134,135)

Region (group of locations that have something in common with another).
  • The religion was the same in the nine villages.
Human Environmental interaction (how we impact the environment and how it impacts us).

  • When Okonkwo gives Ezinma medicine with ingredients from nature (page: 81)

Location (where).

  • Africa, Nigeria. (back of the book).

Place (what it's like in a particular location).

  • There customs of marriage, apparently they do it differently in each village before a marriage ceremony. (Page:70,71)

I agree with your 5 themes of Geography in "Things Fall Apart." Your movement explained movement for both people and ideas. For your region, you talked about how the religion is the same in all nine villages, but we don't really have evidence of that, even though it is probably true. For your Human Environmental Interaction, you only have one idea. Maybe we could add the idea of the villagers interacting with the animals, The villagers eat deer and meat from the forest and they also use the plants and roots for food. I agree with your location, though they are both relative. You might want to add something more to Place, though i agree with it. In all, i agree completely with you ideas on the five themes of georgraphy.
