Reflection:

The village was having a meeting and it was only for the men and important villagers. It showed that all the woman of the village were to stay outside and just clean and scrub the walls of the building. I just feel that this part of the story is just sort of sexist. But i guess that this is how things were done back then in those days. Men were the most powerful people and must be treated with respect. This just caught my eye.

Reflection:

In this meeting, the people are talking about the egwugwue. He is like a god to these people. The egwugwue of their willage is called "evil forest." They are supposibly spirits. Then all of a sudden i read along and they show up. I just did not get this. I dont know if i read weird but that is what i read. This is just what i read. This conspiracy thing i guess is just so wierd and confusing.
