Answer:

Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!! You've got a really good start :) The only 'mistake' you really have in this passage is just formatting stuff, things that might make the writing seem a bit clunky. Here's a rewrite of the first paragraph!! No pressure to use it of course, but if you like the sound of it, it's all yours!

Dead Man's Path is a short story written by Chinua Achebe, originally published in 1953. It's a brilliant story about contrasting views, values, and beliefs clashing together, as well as the conflict that might come with that. The narrative goes over the differences between a more modernized story and a more traditional one, leaving the reader wondering which one is actually better for them. The plot primarily revolves around a young man named Michael Obi, who is extremely well educated and has strong beliefs about the effectiveness of modern methods. Obi is appointed headmaster at an unprogressive school in Nigeria that's known for it's peculiar views. While attempting to fix up the school, Obi sees an old woman near the flowers, and notices a small pathway that connects to the village across the way. Obi then asks the woman why the villagers are allowed to use the pathway.

Good luck!! :)
