Authors note: this is a short response to the short story “Dead Man’s Path”

The short story “Dead Man’s Path” is written by Chinua Achebe. In the book, Chinua describes how he becomes the principle of a school in a town that has lots of culture ethics. Chinua doesn’t see how important these are and totally ignores them. The people had a tradition of walking through the school area garden. Chinua didn’t know that and his wife planted a gorges garden that was spectacular. One day Chinua saw footprints in the garden and asked one of the natives why people went into their. The native told him about the tradition, so then Chinua just gated it up.
