Reflection:

During this portion of my reading, Ekwefi is still following behind the Agbala messenger. This messenger has taken her daughter Ezinma who claims she will bring her back in a little while. While following slightly behind, Ekwefi sees a man. This man is carrying a machete. Right at this moment, i thought she was either going to die or the man was Okonkwo. I was right, it was Okonkwo. He had come to help. But it was pointless because the lady just turned right back around.

Reflection:

Now this little scene is just getting too confusing. We just found out that the messenger did not take Ezinma to the godly person. But now she snuck back into the village and put the child safely back into her hut. She was trying to pretend this whole time that she took the girl to the god yet Ekwefi and Okonkwo knows she didn't. This part still to this day, i don't know the point of this or else i read the story weird or something of that nature. Yes my observations are weird, but they're observations.
