The first two chapters of this book is very interesting because there were so much unique names and terms that I didn’t understand. Just after reading the first two chapters, I noticed that African people really care about their tribes and they’re ready to risk their life on it. Since this story is mainly about Okonkwo, who cares so much about strength and traditions, I think that later in the book, there will be another conflict coming up which challenges his ideas. Also, it was interesting how the amount of yams decided one’s economic status when it could rot away. Not only the yams, but the number of children and wives represent how much money and power the father has. In chapter two, another boy called Ikemefuna comes from another tribe. Since Okonkwo is very strict and powerful, his son Nwoye always gets beaten. How will Ikemefuna, Nwoye and Okonkwo go along? Will Ikemefuna ever change the way Okonkwo thinks?
