chnologically found info
they came and told everyone to convert to the Christian beliefs because of how it would give them a better and easier life. Then after that they told them about how the don't kill twins and everyone is the same person and how we are all related and have strong connections between each other. Like some people would like (ex. Nwoye). The Osu really liked it because it made them feel like were actually respected and that they could do what everyone else could do also, no restrictions. The mothers liked it also because of how they no longer had to kill the twins if they so happened to have them. Dr. Brown was a good man. He understood their beliefs and how it would be almost impossible for some to jst change like that. so he understood that they were actually close in religious views with the Christian church mainly the only difference was polytheism to monotheism but that is not that big because they are not really polytheistic but the believe in lesser gods that are the mesangers for the almighty god Chukwu, and they say that is just like the consept of their priests, and how that is not normal that they wont just come in open arms, and then he gets sick and all HE!! brakes loose with Rv. Smith.

Virtues Of Okonkwo
In the book Things Fall Apart, Okonkwo does not acknowledge his female virtues, because the way he sees women, he sees them as maids. They are not really respected as individuals in Umuofia and so he is not used to it in Mbanta. He thinks that they are not truly bonded by love but by a ceremony.

Adam's opinions of okonkwo that only matters
I in my opinion is not shabby. He is very strong and a good leader. When he was young he was a great wrestler and he even was able to defeat the cat, the most feared wrestler. Too bad he is the reason that he had to sacrifice a goat to the gods for breaking the week of peace, in which no one should harm or kill another person. He was consulted be the priests. The reason that he did the beating to ruin the week of peace was not a bad reason. He was just being protective of his 3rd wife's children. He only did also because of how he did not get his third course of his dinner and he got very angry that would have not been acceptable. She went and did a selfish task instead of tend to him which made his mad. When he was planting the yams in the field thought ithat he was going to accomplish his task but then the drought came and then he planted again and then the rain came but then finally he say a spouting and he was filled with joy that it worked so he was glad that the sacrifice supposedly work, so i think that he is a smart, strong and determined and resettles man
