Ch 11- 14 A.Paragraph of Text-to-Text/Self/World Connection The first assigned chapters mostly highlight about the traditional betrothal ceremony. The protagonist’s close friend -Obierko’s- daughter has engaged to the man. As usual, he is throwing a party like event for his daughter’s engagement. It was certainly critical to me by seeing the fact that such conventional formality reminded of a Korean’s present day wedding. For example, the visitors’ action of contributing the good to bride’s house is the contemporary established treatment that nowadays always has done. Another one is the characteristic of two events; they both appeared to aim for people’s enjoyment. Thus, by examining through such characteristics and commonality between Korean wedding and Umuofian’s customary behrothal service, I knew how two cultures are similar although they are very different geographically and in time wise. B.Predictions about what's to come in the remainder of the book. The remaining chapters would be focusing on telling story about how Okonkwo fight back with his misfortune. I can certainly feel that there’s going to be another hardship for him by seeing the fact that "a man could not rise beyond the destiny of the chi (131).” the quote foreshadows that his lifetime would be continued on challenging difficulties and tragedy. It might be a fight between his clan in his motherland or huge starvation, which may strike on his family. Thus, I predict more of a catastrophic event after he moved to his motherland’s village. C. A question related to either of the previous two paragraphs in today's journal  What was the justification for him to kill women in Umuofia?  Was it his fate to be kicked out of his village?  Do you consider Uchendu as a good uncle?  Why do you think that Chielo remained silent after she went to the cave with Eznima?
