They didn't arm themselves and expect for the whites to return.

Money from okonkwo's yams he left in the village.

Missionaries arrived and started converting people.

How do the people of Mbanta feel about the arrival of the missionaries?

It caused a considerable stir (anger)

Nwoye

What did the missionaries ask for from the rulers of Mbanta?

A plot of land to build their church.

They would die in 3-4 days due to the evil forest

Okonkwo would beat his ass

What happened instead? (to the converts after they started building a church in the evil forest)

They got more followers and starting building a house for Mr. Kiaga

What does Okonkwo do when he hears that Nwoye has been with the missionaries?

Chokes him out (freaky like that) and then beats him a bit before Uchendu tells him to lay off

What does Nwoye do after this? (the beating!!)

He decided to go back to Umofia where they were teaching kids to read, write, and be christian

Why was there no question of killing a missionary or his converts?

Mr. Kiaga was harmless and killing the converts would still result in banishment (they're still in the clan).

The little church had its own troubles. What was the first one about?

An osu (outcasts: birth defects or twins), and some people didn't want the 2 osu to be in the church but Kiaga was firm in keeping them. He lost a few converts but won the zeal of many others.

One of the osu killed the sacred python, the emmenation of the god of water.

What is the response from the rulers and elders of Mbanta?

Ostracize the Christians

What happens to the Christian women who go to fill up their buckets?

vilage men chase them away with whips (well well well, it's about time for a role reversal)

What does Okonkwo think about his stay in exile?

He regretted every day, even though his relatives (mom'

s side) were very nice.

Why does Okonkwo send money to Obierika in his last year of exile?

So he could build 2 huts in his old compound to live in.

Why does Okonkwo throw a great feast?
