Reflection:

During this large portion of the story, the author just continues to talk about the missionaries teaching the Christianity religion. I love how these men are coming to teach these people about it. I like how they are not forcing them to learn it, but many are starting to come in and learn. This is just like the Samoan church here in Patterson. At first, it just started out with mostly my family and 2 other families, but now there is approximately 12 families now. That is just so great.

Reflection:

During this portion of the story, some people of the village have had enough of the missionaries that have come and had a meeting about them. They decidcd that they were going to go and ostracize the white men. I thought that this was just so mean. These villagers just can't accept the fact that everything that they want and don't want just can't go thier way. I hate those villagers there.
