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.
