Reflection:

I have come to realize that these white men have not only come to spread religion, but to also settle here and make a city in this village. For example, they have implanted a store, established a Government, laws, a jail, and most importantly, a church. Now i feel that they are trying to bring the best for these villagers. It may be new to them but it is alot better to see how it is back in the white man's world.

Reflection:

I really enjoyed this portion of the novel. The priest of Umuofia, Mr. Brown, goes around to homes and tells the wonders of God. He is a very friendly and nice man to all the village folk. He goes to an old man's house to talk. He sits in the man's obi and they both start to talk about religion. Both argue back and forth about the rights and wrongs and both men learn alot. I learned alot too.
