Man, things are going downhill pretty fast ever since Okonkwo got exiled. I was hoping that once he returns he’d be able redeem himself, as he always has been able to. I was kind of surprised also, because even though Nwoye has left him, he still had much to look forward to when he returns to his clan and I so wanted to see and his clan succeed. But as Okwonko got depressed with the current state of affairs so did I.  My gut reaction to the Missionaries is “okay whatever, they’re just doing what they think is right” but now they are becoming really irritable and I can see how their actions are destroying a culture and a way of life. I thought about how humans destroy forest lands that push animals to the edge and how all the bystanders who aren’t doing it, see all the negative effects. That is the perspective from which I am seeing the colonization of the Igbo play out. Course I am saddened because the white man had no right to waltz into occupied land and convert and conform its citizens. I’m not sure of their direct motives but how would they feel if another race thought that they were superior in every aspect including religion so they decided to invade England and disrupt its people.
