            Chapter 23: The District Commissioner had send their messengers to invite the leaders of Umuofia to meet him in his headquarters. The six leaders of Umuofia was hand cuffed and led into the guardroom. Everything had happened so quickly that the six men did not see it coming. They have bought the six men here because they joined together to molest others, to burn people's houses, and their place of worship. As soon as the six men were locked up, the court messengers went into Umuofia to tell the people that their leaders would not be released unless they paid a fine of two hundred and fifty bags of cowries.

            Chapter 24: Okonkwo and his fellow prisoners were set free as the fine was paid. There was another meeting that was going to be held in the morning by the villagers. As the meeting went on the five court messengers had approach and everyone attention was towards them.  They had order that the meeting should stop. In a flash Okonkwo drew his machete. The messenger crouched to avoid the blow. It was useless. Okonkwo's machete descended twice and the man's head lay beside his uniformed body.

            Chapter 25: The District Commissioner arrived at Okonkwo's compound looking for him at the head of an armed band of soldiers and court messengers he found a small crowd of men sitting wearily in the obi. The commissioner had demanded that they tell where Okonkwo was or they'll lock them up. Obierika spoke with these words " We can take you where he is, and perhaps your men will help us." The commissioner did not know what he meant by "Perhaps your men will help us." They came to a tree where Okonkwo was there left hanging. They had ask them can they take him down because it was against their custom to.

Part 3: Chapter 20-22

            Chapter 20: As soon as Okonkwo had left the clan someone else had replaced him by taking over his spot. Okonkwo had lost his place among the nine masked spirits who administered justice. In the clan he lost the chance to lead warlike clan against the new religion, and lost the years in which he might have taken the highest titles in the  clan. Ezinma grew up as one of the most beautiful girls in Mbanta. Many young men and prosperous middle-aged men of Mbanta came to marry her. She had refused every last one of them, because her father choose that she should marry in Umuofia. Umuofia had changed a lot when Okonkwo was in exile. The church had taken come and led many astray. Ogbuefi Ugonna had taken two titles but he left all that behind just to join the Christians.

            Chapter 21: One of the great man, Akunna, had given his sons to be taught the white man's knowledge in Mr. Brown 's school. Whenever Mr. Brown went to that village he spent long hours with Akunna in his obi talking through an interpreter about religion. Mr. Brown built a school and a little hospital in Umuofia because he came to the conclusion that a frontal attack on it would not succeed. He went from family begging people to send their children to his school. What had really convince them to come was the speaking Mr. Brown told them. He had told them that " the leaders of the land in the future would be men and woman who had learned to read and write. If the people in strangers would come from other places to rule them."

            Chapter 22: Enoch had tore off one of the spirits mask. The other egwugwu had to immediately surround around him to shield him from the profane gaze of women and children while leading him away. Enoch had killed an ancestral spirit by his actions and because of that Umuofia was thrown in confusion.

Part 2: Chapter 18-19

            Chapter 18: The young church in Mbanta had a very few crises early in life. At first it all started with the clan thought that the church wasn't going to survive because the building was located or built on the land of Evil Forest. The clan had started to worry but not so much. In order to be part of the church you must shave off the mark of your heathen belief.

            Chapter 19: As soon as Okonkwo entered his last year in exile he had sent money to Obierika to build him two huts in his old compound. He could not ask another man to build his own obi for him, nor the walls of his compound. These was the things man had to build for themselves or inherited from his father. Okonkwo had plan to throw a feast before he left to go back to his homeland, Umuofia. During the feast Uchendu was honored for being the oldest man and had prayed for health and the children.

Chapter 16-17

            Chapter 16: When nearly two years past by Obierika paid another visit back to his friend. The missionaries had come to Umuofia and mark their landing of where the church was going to be built at. What had moved Obierika to visit Okonkwo was the sudden appearance of the latter's son, Nwoye, among the missionaries in Umuofia. Later on, there was the arrival of the missionaries in the village of Mbanta. They had came to tell about their belief.

            Chapter 17: The rulers of Mbanta had gave the missionaries the land to build their shrine. The land they have given up was the land of the Evil Forest. The missionaries had accepted the land which no one in his right senses would accept. Nwoye had been attracted to the new faith from the very first day, but he had kept that a secret. The villagers were so certain about the doom that awaited these man that one or two converts thought it wise to suspend their allegiance to the new faith.

Part 2: Chapter 14-15

            Chapter 14: Okonkwo was well accepted by his mother's kinsmen in Mbanta. His uncle was the one who received him. He was now known as the eldest surviving member of that family. His uncle name was Uchendu. He was the one who had received Okonkwo's mother twenty and ten years she had been bought home from Umuofia to be buried with her people. When the woman dies she is taken home to be buried with her own kinsmen because when a father beats his child, it seeks sympathy in its mother's hut. A man belongs to his fatherland when things are good and life is sweet. When there is sorrow and bitterness he finds refuge in his motherland.

            Chapter 15: Okonkwo best friend came to visit him on his second year of exile. He has brought with him two young man. Obierika soon told Okonkwo and Uchendu about how Abame has been wiped out.

As guns fired the last salute and cannon rent the sky. All of a sudden there was a cry of agony and shouts of horror. It was Ezeudu son that Okonkwo had killed. His gun had exploded and a piece of iron had pierced the boy's heart. Okonkwo was now force to flee from the clan. It was a crime against the earth goddess to kill a clansman, and a man who committed it must flee from the land.

Part 1: Chapter 10-11

            Chapter 10: Most communal ceremonies took place at the time of the day. The ceremony would begin after the midday. Everyone there had understood the way the crowd stood or sat that the ceremony was for men. Each of the nine egwugwa  had represented village of the clan. Their leader was called the Evil Forest. The nine villages of Umuofia had grown out of the nine sons of the first father of the clan. Evil Forest represented  the village of Umueru, or the children of Eru, who was the oldest of the nine sons. Uzowulu had presented his case of how his three in laws came into his house beat him up and took his wife from him, but he had own them nothing. Odukwe then pleaded his case. Soon enough Odukwe was told to let his sister go back to him if Uzowulu brings wine.

            Chapter 11: Ezinma and Ekwefi sat on the floor and told stories to one another. When Ezinma started her story telling they heard a loud and high pitched voice that broke the outer silence of the night. It was the priestess and she was saying again and again that Agbala wanted to see Ezinma. She took Ezinma to another village then to the cave, while Ekwefi was creeping behind then during their whole journey.

Part 1: Chapter 7-9

            Chapter 7: It had been three years since Ikemefuna lived in Okonkwo’s household and the elders of Umuofia seemed to have forgotten all about him. Ikemefuna had become absorbed into his new family. He was like an elder brother to Nwoye, and from the very first time it seemed to have kindled a new fire in the younger boy. Nwoye always feel like a grown up when he is with Ikemefuna. They had no longer wasted their time in Nwoye mother’s obi but in Okonkwo. They had usually had watch him tapped his palm-wine for the evening wine. What had pleased Nwoye the most of all was to be sent for a difficult and masculine task from his mother or another one of his father wives. Okonkwo had identified his son development and was very pleased of it. He wanted Nwoye to produce as a tough young man. Time from time Okonkwo had encouraged them to sit in his obi. Locusts soon were descending in Umuofia. Everyone was full of excitement and joy. Ogbuefi Ezeudu came in Okonkwo obi and wanted to talk to him outside about Ikemefuna. He had announced that he should not bear a hand upon Ikemefuna death. Okonkwo had killed Ikemefuna so he wouldn't be seen weak.

            Chapter 8: After the death of Ikemefuna, Okonkwo had felt awful. he did not eat or drink for about two days after killing Ikemefuna. Nwoye became afraid of his father and slipped out the hut as soon as he noticed him dozing. Okonkwo could not sleep at night though. He had form a type of relationship while the time Ikemefuna had stayed there. Okonkwo forever wish that Ezinma was a boy. Okonkwo was very interested in Maduka and how he handle the wrestling match. Okonkwo had thought Ezinma was the right spirit for a tough, young man. Okonkwo had always complain about how his son is not manly enough and he had to much of his motherin him. Obierika, Okonkwo friend, had thought he had too much of his grandfather instead and Okonkwo thought the same thought. Obierika had refused to interact in Ikemefuna death.

            Chapter 9: Ekwefi had came to Okonkwo obi panicking that Ezinma was dying. Ezinma laid shivering on a mat beside a huge fire that her mother kept burning all night. Ezinma did not call her mother Nne like other children did to their mother. Instead she called her mother by her name, Ekwefi. She had called her that because they had this kind of different bond. During the years Ekwefi had continually to lose her babies until Ezinma came along and stayed for awhile and positive she was here to stay for good. To destroy that curse they had to find the iyi-uwa that Ezinma had buried. 

Part 1:Chapter 4-6

Chapter 4-6

Chapter 4: Ikemefuna became popular in Okonkwo’s household. He was a by nature a very lively boy. Ikemefuna could pretty much do everything. The things he could do or knew were, fashion out flutes from the bamboo stems and even from the elephant grass. He could pick out each name from each bird that soar through the sky and could set clever traps for the little bush rodents, and plus he also knew which tree made the strongest bows. He had come to Umuofia at the end of the carefree season between the harvests and planting. The Week of Peace was the year Okonkwo had broke the peace by beating his wife because she wasn't there. His wife had gone to her friend house to plait her hair. No work was done during the Week of Peace. Later on, Ikemefuna has felt like a member in the household, even though he did thought of his mother and sister from time to time.

Chapter 5: The Feast of the New Yam was an occasion for giving thanks to Ani, which is known as the earth goddess and the source of all fertility. It was progressing its way forward during the days and Umuofia was in his festival mood. Ani was the ultimate judge of morality and conduct. The Feast of the New Yam was held every year before the harvest had ever begun. They do this to honor the earth goddess and the ancestral spirits of the clan. The chief food in the celebration is Yam foo-foo and vegetable soup. The Feast of the New Yam festival was an occasion for joy in happiness through-and-out Umuofia. When festivals/feast came around Okonkwo was never really a big fan of it but he was absolutely good at eating and drinking two big gourds of palm-wine. The second day of the New Year was the day of the great wrestling match between Okonkwo village and their neighbors. Ekwefi, no doubt about it, was into wrestling. The cat that Okonkwo had thrown was the greatest contest in history and that same contest had won over Ekwefi heart.

Chapter 6: The whole village turned out on the ilo, men, woman, and even children. There were seven drums and they were arranged according to their sizes in a long wooden basket. There was also two young men carrying palm fronds ran round the circle and kept the crowd back by beating the ground in front of them and if they were stubborn they will beat their legs and feet. Then contest soon began with fifteen or sixteen year-old boys. There was only three such boys in each team. Chielo and Ekwefi were friends. Chielo often called Eznima, Ekwefi daughter, my daughter. Chielo was the priestess of Agbala, the Oracle of the Hills and the Caves. In the natural life Chielo was a widow with only two children. If anyone has seen Chielo in ordinary life they would hardly believe she was the same person who prophesied when the spirit of Agbala was upon her. During the last match of wrestling Okafo had won. 

Part 1:Chapter 1-3

Chapter 1-3

Chapter 1: Okonkwo was known through and out of the nine villages and even beyond.  When he was a young man at the age of eighteen he had thrown Amalinze the Cat which has brought honor to his village. Okonkwo had highly disliked his father, Unoka, because he was an unsuccessful man and borrowed money from a lot of people which he never return back. He had always love playing on his flute and drinking. When Unoka had died he had taken no title whatsoever and he was heavy on dept. During these times the man was judged according to what his worth is and not the worth of your father. When Okonkwo gotten older, he was a wealthy farmer and had two barns full of yams, and also had just married his 3^rd wife. Okonkwo had taken two titles and had shown a whole lot amount of incredible prowess in two inter-tribal wars.

                Chapter 2: The sons, known as a wild animal, have murder a daughter of Umuofia. The daughter had just gone to the market at Mbaino and had been killed there. The woman that had been killed was the wife of Ogbuefi Udo. They soon had to come to a decision of choosing between war or offer a young man and a virgin as compensation. The people feared Umuofia, therefore they tried to do a peaceful settlement. At any point if the clan had disobeyed the Oracle they would surely have been beaten. They were so beaten because their dreaded agadinwayi would never fight what the Ibo call a fight of blame. Sooner or later Okonkwo became home with a fifteen year old boy who was a young virgin. The fellow name was Ikemefuna. They sooner decided that the girl, Ikemefuna sister, should go to Obuefi Udo to replace the murder of his wife, but instead, the boy had now belonged to each and everyone in the clan.

            Chapter 3: Okonkwo did not start on the right track as many others had the chance to do.  He did not gain a barn from his father, because there was nothing to gain. Unoka had always had a tragic harvest, so he went to consult the Oracle of the Hills and the Caves to find out his reason why. People always come from near and far to consult the Oracle, which is also called Agbala. They came for variety of reason like misfortune came there way, when they had a dispute with their neighbors, to discover what the fortune held for them, or to even consult the spirits of their departed fathers. Later on, Okonkwo came before Nwakibie for help with his yam. Nwakibie was one the wealthy man in Okonkwo village. He was a very successful man with three big barns, nine wives, and thirty children. He had taken the highest but one title which a man could take in the clan. It was for this man that Okonkwo worked to earn his first seed yams.
