In the first two chapter of __Things Fall Apart__ it mainly talks about Okonkwo's characteristics and how he was respected from the country. Also, it talks about his dad's characteristics which was not liked by the people. Not only this but it also explains how Okonkwo and his father had different personalities such as his father not liking violence and blood but Okonkwo that didn't care of violence or blood. After reading the two chapters in __Things Fall Apart__ I had numerous questions. First of all, I was wondering why in the beginning of the story the author was already talking about wars. I didn't expect that the author was going to start the story with having a war. Also, while I was reading, I was asking myself how Okonkwo's father was so good at convincing his neighbors to lend him money. How did Okonkwo's father convince the people if they knew that he didn't pay back well? If I was the neighbor getting persuade I would not trust him because I already knew that he doesn't pay back. But by reading chapter one and two I can predict that later Okonkwo will become a big person that will pay back all his father's debt. Also, I predict that as the story progresses Okonkwo's will become more violent and have more times to stay in war then take caring of his family.
