 * **Chapter** || **Students** || **Event, description, characterization, concept, mood, etc (pgs)** || **Artwork (Image) or Song (lyrics and music)** ||
 * TFA.Chapter.1 || Robert & Wendy || Unoka does not fit in with other people and has a bad relationship with Okonkwo. || Image: Oil placed in water ||
 * TFA.Chapter.2 || Robert & Wendy || The beginning of the chapter has a dark, frightening mood as it introduces the people's fear of moonless nights. || media type="file" key="3_14_Music_for_Strings_Percussion_and_Celesta_clip.wma" width="90" height="90"
 * TFA.Chapter.3 || Janita and Henry || This is the scene when Okonkwo begs for yam seeds to the wealthy farmer. He is rich, wealthy, and has 9 wives.

There is a flood, and no farmer has a good crop. Okonkwo nearly despairs, and Unoki offers him words of consoling wisdom which further aggravates Okonkwo. || Image: FAT

media type="file" key="Instrumental_-_Instrumental_-_Background_Music__Sad_Piano_.wav" || media type="file" key="English Soundtrack.mp3" width="240" height="20" || Genre: Soundtrack Length: 1:31 Instruments: Strings, Brass, Percussion Tempo: 164 Timpanis and strings battle with a snare drum and horns throughout this epic piece, slowly building and rising to chaos. The music is high-action and only includes a few short dramatic interludes. Action, Driving, Epic, Intense || The black bold line paints a powerful authoritative aura that the Oracle has over the people. media type="file" key="Kansas - Carry On My Wayward Son.mp3" width="240" height="20" || || media type="file" key="Star Wars - Episode III - Anakin's Betrayal.mp3" width="240" height="20" || media type="file" key="Out Of The Shade.mp3" width="240" height="20" || media type="file" key="drive my soul.mp3" width="240" height="20" Lyrics: [|Drive My Soul Lyrics] We chose this song as we felt that the lyrics really matched Ekwefi's mindset. Ekwefi ran away from her first marriage to Okonkwo as she could not bear it, and Okonkwo had long become the central focus of her life. The lyrics speak of the target being the path for Ekwefi to follow. After the tension and fear she feels when she followed Chielo to Agbala's shrine, Okonkwo becomes her source of comfort in her fear. In addition, the music itself has a gentle but sad air to it, thus we felt it best reflected this event. Our alternate: Air on the G String by J.S. Bach, which also has a sad, reminiscent tune to it. || media type="file" key="Mozart - The Marriage of Figaro.mp3" width="240" height="20" We chose, cliche as it may be, a wedding-themed song to exemplify the festive and celebratory mood in this scene. The happy mood created by this song, among other wedding songs, exemplifies the happiness felt by all the village folk as the wedding takes place and the bride dances to the music before her new family. || (From Wikipedia images) (We felt that this painting best reflects the chaos and confusion in the occurrence of the accident as well as the beginning of how Okonkwo's world begins to fall apart. Picasso's //Guernica// exemplifies the concept of tension and chaos in its composition of light, darkness, and distortion of people and animals.) ||
 * TFA.Chapter.4 || Janita and Henry || Okonkwo breaks a holiday called the Week of Peace -- His youngest wife, Ojiugo, doesn't prepare dinner on time and so he beats her when she returns home, forgetting it is the sacred Week of Peace. Characterises Okonkwo's manliness with rashness, anger, and violence || Lakme: Flower Dust, a peaceful background music representing the week of peace, however, during the 30 second mark, there is a small section where the sounds of a man beating a person and the sound of a woman screaming is heard.
 * TFA.Chapter.5 || Jocelyn & He Ra || P36 - 37: The feast is approaching and the entire village in festivity. However, Okonkwo is not involved in the festivals because he considers it a time of idleness. || __The Last Supper__. Leonardo da Vinci. tempera on gesso, pitch and mastic. c. 1495-1498. ||
 * TFA.Chapter.6 || Jocelyn & He Ra || The entire chapter describes wrestling matches. Sounds of drums and wrestling match build intense mood as conveyed by the song "Clenched Teeth". || media type="file" key="Clenched Teeth.mp3" width="240" height="20"Title: Clenched Teeth
 * TFA.Chapter.7 || Maryanne & Shavonne || During this chapter, the linear mindset of the igbo people are introduced. They are told by the Oracle to murder Ikemefuna, and do so without any explanation. The picture displays the many unexplained things that occur and the line is representative of the Oracle, whose word is “law”. Like the installation, her word seems to dominate anything morally questionable, as shown in this chapter.
 * TFA.Chapter.8 || Maryanne & Shavonne || This chapter continues to unveil Okonkwo’s emotional or “feminine” side. Even though he was the one who made the final stab, killing Ikemefuna, his regret and sadness is evident. This song talks about a father talking to his son, telling him to be strong and not cry. This is representative of a message Okonkwo can be telling his son. || media type="file" key="Kansas - Carry On My Wayward Son.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||
 * TFA.Chapter.9 || Jerry, Michael X & Chris || Throughout the entire chapter, the mood fluctuates several times between being fast-paced and calm. || Anakin's Betrayal
 * TFA.Chapter.10 || Jerry, Michael X & Chris || The beginning paragraphs of the chapter: The crowd sits and awaits the beginning of the "trial". The mood of the text is calm at first, and slowly the dominant power of the egwugwu becomes apparent, creeping upon the spectators. || Out of the Shade
 * TFA.Chapter.11 || Valerie, Riowena & MRen || We chose to focus on the last section of Chapter 11, where Ekwefi reminisces about the past and Okonkwo reveals his softer side. The mood is gentle, but also a bit sorrowful. || Drive My Soul - Lights
 * TFA.Chapter.12 || Valerie, Riowena & M Ren || We focused on the wedding scene where there is celebration in the village when the bride is received by her new family. The mood is light and carefree, with an even festive feeling in the air. || The Marriage of Figaro - Mozart
 * TFA.Chapter.13 || Valerie, Riowena & M Ren || The mood during the funeral of Ezeudu is tense and even chaotic as the egwugwu and the warriors wreak havoc in their "manly grief". The final chaos and confusion is created when Okonkwo accidentally kills the boy with his exploding gun. || //Guernica -// by Pablo Picasso. Oil on canvas.
