Reflection:

A messenger of Agbala had come to the village to take Ezinma away for a while. Ezinma is the only child of Ekwefi. She says that the god person or whatever wants her to come to him. I feel this is just wrong. This is just kind of mean. But i love Ekwefi in this moment. She is going to follow the messenger. I feel that she is a great mother. I would do the same thing too. I just love this part. This is one of my favorite parts of the novel.

Reflection:

Now this part of the story is just dumb. Ekwefi followed her daughter calmly and nicely. But when they arrived there, the messenger just turned right back around. I just didnt get this part. I just dont get it . This was just sort of pointless. But i was happy when Okonkwo showed up after when they were heading back. how late! These dumb things just love to catch my eye.
