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.
