chapter+1-2

After reading the two chapters, I learned a lot about Nigeria’s background and cultures at that time. One of their customs actually surprised me and I had to ask this question: why does two innocent children have to be compensated for a murder that they are not responsible for? Of course, I respect other good aspects of their cultures but this one was something that needed to be changed. Ikemefuna was he little boy that was brought, and I could totally foresee the hardships he will face later in the story. I think that he will have to go through mistreatments of Umuofia people, especially Okonkwo.


 * Later on I realized that my prediction was wrong. He actually blended in with the family pretty well.
