During the first two chapter of When Things Fall Apart, the thing that left me hanging was the fate of Ikemefuna. The narrator tells us that this boy was “ill-fated”. What happens to this boy? From the descriptions about Okonkwo, he seems like a serious, hardworking man, who will have no sympathy for those who are lazy or commit a crime. Will there be a conflict between the new-comer and Okonkwo? In the book, there are some confusing bits about when they talk about traditional cultures, and use some words that I don’t understand (Umuofua kwenu), and I hope that further reading of the book will give me a better understanding later on. When the book said that Okonkwo drinks out of human heads, I was a bit grossed out. I thought that those were the kind of things that only existed in Hollywood, but guessing that this is historically accurate, it should really exist!
