        <description><![CDATA[This story is about a young man and his dream of modernizing a school in Africa.  He has been chosen because of his energy and enthusiasm.  He wants to make a difference and bring a new ideology of technology and modern ideas to the school.  He immediately sets out to change all of the customs and beliefs of this village as well as the school.  In a backlash effect of the village he finds himself at odds with customs and superstitions. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In this piece of literature, you have the dichotomy of the newer, modern world with its new school and more modern facilities and its administration and new ways of thinking compared to the old world of the villagers who still had very strong and genuine religious and spiritual beliefs.  The clash between those two worlds was a resounding one.  The shift from the old world to the newer, more modernized ways was a huge one and it had big...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[No, I would not characterize Michael Obi as a villain.  A villain would typically be considered inherently bad.  He is, however, not very thoughtful or considerate when it comes to the traditions and legends of the villagers.  Despite being told about the path that was sacred to them, he still has the fence put up so they cannot cross it.  This was extremely disrespectful and a great insult to the villagers.  He should have thought more...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A moral is a lesson that can be taken from a piece of literature.  In the case of this story, the clear lesson is that BALANCE is of the utmost importance.  Mr. Obi, the headmaster of the school, had grand plans for his school; however, he insulted the villagers by cutting off their path, which was of great significance to them, as it was said to link the living to the dead.  Obi disrespected their opinions, dismissing them flippantly.  As...]]></description>
