Reflection:

During my reading, i came across a portion of the novel that really touched me and interested me more into reading it. Those white men that were told of burning villages down, were actually missionaries that had come to spread the word of Christianity. I like this well because i am part of a Christian religion myself and i like it how it is being spread throughout the world. I dont know how people would say that they are very dangerous people.

Reflection:

These men have come to the villages to spread the word of Jesus and the villagers take them as a joke. When the men preach, they just laugh and make fun of their ways. I understand where they are coming from because they have been practicing their own religion for a long time and when someone brings something new, you can't except those ways. This still sort of bothers me because this is my religion and i hate it when others disrespect it .
