What is okonkwo’s primary motivation in achebe’s things fall apart? to not end up like his father to restore his father’s honor to avenge his father’s death to be a good father to his children

The main motivation of Okonkwo in Achebe's Things Fall Apart is  "to not end up like his father"

The explanation for this is that Okonkwo was a renowned leader of his tribe, as well as being a warrior and a successful farmer, but he lived in constant fear of becoming, lazy, cowardly and female like his father.  This fear makes him make inappropriate, self-destructive and malefic decisions for those around him.

many battles and wars (such as the one at gettysburg), are commemorated by statues or monuments, with some areas preserved as monuments and national parks. do you think this contradicts the message of "grass"? in at least 200 words, explain your thinking and cite evidence from the poem to support your opinion.
