Entry #1

Page #5

Reflection:

During this page, the author is starting to tell how much of a failure that Okonkwo's father, "Unoka", is. Unoka was a man that was not trusted by many. He would always borrow and never repay. He was hated by almost all of the people in the village. He was as those people would call a loafer, and was very poor. Alot of people would laugh at him, because they knew how poor this man was and very disrespected him, although he disrespected them as well.


Page #7

Reflection:

During this portion of the novel, Unoka is at his neighbors house and having a meal. They start talking about wars and playing music. I believe that his neighbor is trying to get through to Unoka with meaniful conversation and is trying to show him that what he is doing is wrong. I also believe that now when Unoka dies and Okonkwo gets older, Okonkwo will pay for his father's faults.
