Things Fall Apart Early Questions

Is the community represented as civilized? Does it have a strong language? What is the relationship between civilization and language?

I don't think the community is represented as civilized or uncivilized. I think the author is representing the community in either way. He is simply describing the community as it is. To me, I think of the community as just how it is. This question is phrased to me as how the author chooses to portray the village. This may seem to be a minor distinction, but to me it is important. However, to me, the community is civilized to a point. There is a hierarchy, economic system, housing, families, ect. There are general rules that everyone follows. To me, this is civilized. However, I would not classify the community as the same as the United States. We are more "evolved". We have more technology, our rules are a little different, ect. Overall, the community is civilized to a point, but I do not consider them as civilized as us (the United States).
