Chapte Twenty-one
I really liked this chapter, because it was about the two religions. I like to hear the different sides of the religion stories. Both Akunna the leader of the cultural clan, and Mr. Brown, the leader of the missionaries, brought up good points to both religions. Neither could convince either one to convert. I find these kind of discussions interesting, that is why I did a pro/con research paper on witchcraft and religion, because witchcraft, Wicca, or pagan beliefs are also considered a religion. Like Akunna said, God still has helper, to show people his ways, that is the same as their culture, but the just consider them gods as well. Also in this chapter we learned that Nwoye is now called Isaac and is going to school in Umuru, the original place where the whites settled first, to become a teacher. Mr. Brown thought that Okonkwo would be happy to know, but quickly realized he was wrong. Soon after, Mr. Brown becomes ill and dies. This is also kind of when Okonkwo realizes that sadly, his clan has fallen apart, beyond repair. So there is not much help for the cultural clan. I think the whites are getting all to commit to the religion, and eventually take control over them and eventually export them as slaves
