1. In part one we were introduced to an intact and functioning culture. it may have had its faults, but it still worked as an organic whole. It is part two that things begin to "fall apart"

Explain in reference to Okonkwo's experience.

2. How does the story of the destruction of Abame summarize the experience of colonization? Note that although the people of Abame acted rashly, they had a good deal of insight into the significance of the arrival of the whites. Note how the Africans treat the white man' language as mere noise; a mirror of how white colonizers treated African languages. What sorts of stories had Okonkwo heard about the white men before?

3. Why do you think Nwoye has become a Christian? what is the first act of the missionaries which evokes a positive response in some of the ibo? why does the new religion appeal to Nwoye?

4. What mutual misunderstandings are evident in chapter 17 between the missionaries and the people of the village?

Thank you very much!!!
