Journal 5 a) Paragraph of Text-to-Text/Self/World Connection I can once again notice a Connection to the World while reading the chapter 12 to 14. I had notice two connections, one that i had found was about country rules. When Okonkwo accidently kills a boy with his gun during the ceremony, he kicked out of his village. This related with how most countries have certain rules and consequences that follow when you kill someone. However it was quite surprising when Okonkwo did not recieve a harsher type of punishment. Most countries today when commiting a serious type of crime or murder have to stay in prison until death or they are executed. I think the Igbo culture do not really kill people but only on ocasions where the oracles says to kill someone or some type of people. Twins, for example are killed by the oracles saying. And so, while reading these chapters I really felt that the oracle had a much more big influence on peoples life and death than the tribes rules.

b) Predictions about what's to come in the remainder of the book. I think many parts of Okonkwo will change as times go by. But mostly change in personality is what I think will happen. In a much more nice, paternal and caring way; and learn the real meaning of being manly means

c) A question related to either of the previous two paragraphs in today's journal I wonder how long Okonkwo will stay in his mothers village
