Pt. 2 Questions

1. Okonkwo and his family has fled his fatherland to go an dlive in his motherland, Mbanta. This is because Okonkwo had killed a dead man's young boy. Okonkwo despairs as he first starts living in Mbanta do to the fact that hae has been exiled from his fatherland. Uchendu, Okonkwo's uncle, sees his despair and tells him that it is okay to find comfort in his motherland.

2. The Abame clan was wiped out. Three white men and a handful of other men had found their way to the market of Abame and began to shoot everyone there. Uchenda thought the Abame tribe was foolish because they should not have said a word to the white men, therefore they would not attack. Okonkwo thought that they were foolsih because they knew danger was coming and they stayed. The Abame tribe should have moved elsewhere since they knew danger was ahead. Uchenda says, "There is no story that is not true" by this he means that when a person tells a story there are people that will believe the story, making it true. Just because there are people tha do not believe it does not make it a lie.

3. Oberieka had visited Okonkwo after two years of his exile. Oberieka had come and told Okonkwo about what had happend to the Abame tribe and brought Okonkwo cowries. After another two years Okonkwo had another visit from Oberieka. This time Oberieka had more unhappy news, it was about the missionaries building a Church in Imuofia. Nwoye, Okonkwo's eldest son, had converted to Christianity. His motive for this was because Christianity did not make much sense to Nwoye so all the more reason for him to learn more about the religion. When the Africans had first come upon the missionaries, th ey did not knwo what to make of them. When the African's understood that the missionaries were there to tell them about Christianity, they were not very open to them and their beliefs. Soon the Igbo people wanted nothing to do with them and the people from their tribes who would follow their beliefs. Once the missionaries had invaded the Igbo community, the Igbo's did not know what the missionaries had come for. Igbo people had thought missionaries were there to kill them, so the Igbo tribes had killed a missionary. Missionaries had attacked the Abame tribe which triggered the tribes extinction. Slowly more and more Africans are joining the missionaries. It is mainly the people who do not understand the relgion and want to understand it more join, or the people who want diversity and are tired of the same repetitive life style. Nwoye converts to Christianity because he wants to understand the religion more and he is interested by the percept. As Nwoye converts Okonkwo is furious and does not want much to do with him, Okonkwo does not see Nwoye as his son any longer.

4. In Mbanta, the young Church started to have a few crises. The missionaries had started to invaid the villages and walked around boasting how impotent and unreal the peoples' Gods were. The people of Mbanta are content with the Christians remaining in their midst rather than leaving because they do not want to cause and trouble, such as war, by forcing them to leave. The people of Mbanta do not want what has happend to the Abame tribe to happent ot them. There ae many differences between the Mbanta religion and the Christian religion. People of Mbanta believe in more than one god. They belief there are many Gods afoot for many situations. Also Mbanta people are highly superstitious.

5. There have been many changes from the elders' generation to the younger men of Umuofia, when the elders were younger people seemed to be more friendly. Men did not beat there childeren and wives.
