Reflection:

This is a real breakdown for Okonkwo. He really can't take any of this any more. He feels that Umuofia has gone from its tough and strong village to a village that is soft-hearted like a woman. If I were him i would feel the same way. It is just to much change for him right now. But i would just go ahead and learn about the religion so that way i can get along with all the other people and be on there good side. I can understand where Okonkwo is coming from.

Reflection:

We have now jumped to the resolution of this magnificent novel, Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe. The villagers had been sent to jail and then freed and had a meeting to talk about if they should fight with the white men. A messenger of the white men had come to stop the meeting, but Okonkwo killed him. The next day, men were looking for Okonkwo, but was found hung on a tree dead. He knew that his village was not strong enough to go to war with those men. So he repayed that life he took with his own. I still feel that the tribe will go to war. This was a good story with a sad ending. I would really like to read more from this author. THE END!@!@!@!@!@!@
