Achebe’s “Chike’s School Days” and Walcott’s “The Sea Is History” both confront prejudice but in different ways. Achebe uses subtle humor to show how people from a single tribe treat one another differently while Walcott invokes a wide span of history—primarily Biblical—to illustrate how different races treat one another differently. However, at the root of both of these works is colonialism.
Compare and contrast the point each author is making about how native and colonial cultures assimilate.
