It is amazing how in almost every single chapter, the author brings up number of new terms, and events such as funerals, and the "uric" were every clansmen are invited and involved in. It is also astounding that a new character is introduced as the story goes on. Usually, in other books that I have read, there were certain number of characters that is invalid in a conflict until the peak of the story.I thought that Ibo culture involve in a huge part of culture and religion, and believe very deeply in it. Their life depends on agriculture and farming greatly. The happening following from one chapter to another is really unexpected. Especially when Ezeudu dies, I never expected such a thing. Okonkwo got to start a new life in a new place, and start all over again (This was unexpected too.), but not as enthusiastic than before, now that he lost everything. I think that he is not enthusiastic as before since he already has a thought that he's the greatest in the village of Umuofia. There was only a short introduction to Ezeudu's character, and I never thought he was going to come up again in one of the chapters. Also, when Okonkwo accidentally kills Ezudu's sixteen-year old child, I never expected Okonkwo and his family to move to another village. In chapter 10 though 11, again, when the oracle of the cave comes to pick up Ezinma, her dad, Okonkwo is "gravely worried, showing that eve though he thinks tat a man should not show his emotions except when they have to show anger, inside him, he is more of a small-hearted man than what he shows to his neighbors. These days, tree are a lot of people like Okonkwo. They never show their expressions, but they have deeper meaning inside them if you really get to know them.

What will happen next, I cannot be sure about, but I think Okonkwo will regain his courage, and re-characterize himself learning more from Uchendu, his uncle. Uchendu really welcomes Okonkwo since he experience a similar situation with him. I predict that he will get to show more expression and love within himself, and rely on his uncle since he lost some parts of his life. He will experience his new self, and new characteristics in him.Uchendu will tell Okonkwo stories of suffrage of himself where he got through,and uplift te desire for Okonkwo to continue on his life. But what is ther ever a conflict in this story?

I don't think there is a solid conflict or a problem that can be defined by jut reading chapter after chapter. Di you think that Okonkwo's personality is the major problem? His way of life? why or why not?
