Inge’s Wall (excerpt)
The wall was just a few feet from the home Inge shared with her parents. Aside from her school and other crumbling buildings in their neighborhood, their world was a few rooms in a dull, gray concrete flat with no yard and no trees. The wall was part of the view from the only windows they had, and Inge was drawn to the sounds she often heard from the other side—laughter, shouting, music, and the noise of busy traffic.
One day, as she explored the wall imagining what the sounds meant, she came upon a hole. Her heart thumped wildly as she leaned toward it.
Through the hole, Inge caught a glimpse of a whole new world. It was a world of color—reds, blues, and yellows in the dresses of women strolling down the street, the colors of the shirts and ties the men wore, the colors of the ribbons in the little girls' braids. It was a world of people who did not begin and end each day is shades of gray. It was alive and brimming with activity, with living. Inge leaned, transfixed by the view, for hours until she began to feel the stain in her back and leg muscles. Then, pulling herself away, she headed home, knowing she would return again and again.

Time is not always change. time can also mean continuity, and it can mean keeping acknowledged truths in mind despite differences in circumstances.there is no better example of this in things fall apart than the retellings of the proverb about the bird named eneke, the language in both retellings is almost identical despite the length of time that has passed between their repetitions. in comparing the usages of the same proverb, achebe allows his readers to note the similarities and differences between the situations, and he them understand how this story can be applied to their own lives.
