Reflection:

During my reading throughout the novel, Things Fall Apart, I've come across a portion that has it's good and it's bad turns. The missionaries are now in the village and are spreading the word of Christianity. Okonkwo does not accept this and he is one of the ones who makes fun of this yet he just does not understand it. Yet, his eldest son, Nwoye, has been listening and wants to convert to a Christian. I feel happy for him. I like to see those that get converted and changes their life around. But once Okonkwo finds out about this, his beatings and punishment can be very brutal. I will feel bad if something happens to him.

Reflection:

I am a very great predictor. I had guessed correctly again. Nwoye had been caught inside the Christian church and the person who had caught him told Okonkwo. When Nwoye had returned home, he was beat bad. He was lucky though because his uncle had stopped Okonkwo from beating him even more. I do feel bad because he just wants to be a man and do his own things but his father is always in the way of that. Man i feel good when i guess these pointless things correctly.
