CHANGES IN UMUOFIA UPON OKONKWO'S RETURN AND THE RISE OF THE EUROPEAN INFLUENCE

CONTINUE WORKING ON ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS TO CHAPTERS 19-22. WE SEE HOW THE MISSIONARIES ARE GETTING MORE CONVERTS TO CHRISTIANITY AND OFFERING SERVICES SUCH AS HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS FOR THE IGBO PEOPLE. OKONKWO IS DISAPPOINTED THAT THE OTHER VILLAGERS DO NOT REBEL AGAINST THE MISSIONARIES AND WHITE MAN'S JUDICIAL SYSTEM. HIS FRIEND STATES THAT THEIR INFLUENCE IS GROWING BECAUSE THE KINSHIP BOND OF THE PEOPLE IS LOOSENING. OKONKWO WANTS THE PEOPLE TO GATHER THEIR WEAPONS AND DRIVE THE WHITE MEN OUT, BUT THE OTHER VILLAGERS DON'T AGREE WITH HIM. hE SEES THEM AS "FEMININE'.
