Chapter 24

The villagers return to the village and they seem a little mad. Actually really mad. The women and children are afraid to even great them. When Enzima and Obierika visit Okonkwo they notice whip marks on his back. He can't get any sleep because of anxiety. Another tribe meeting is caled the next morning to decide what should be done about the white man. Then Okonkwo acts dumb again. He decides that he will attack the Christians no matter what the tribe says. I would probably wait to see what the tribe is doing before I run in there alone to get slaughtered, but hey that's just me. I think that when Okonkwo does show up at the meeting he may sway some of the people through his obvious passion for the tribe and they will go to fight the missionary. The description of the war dress that Okonkwo has on sort of reminds me of what a native american may where into battle. Anyway a man talks about how much the church has done to their tribe and they need to stand up, but then district messengers come and tell them to stop the meeting immediatly. As soon as they say this Okonkwo just macks him with his machete and kills him with two strokes. The villagers end the meeting and let the messengers escape which isn't what Okonkwo was hoping for, but he just wipes the blood from his machete and departs anyway. I have no idea what to expect from chapter 25. I think maybe the Christians will kill off the tribe because of what Okonkwo did.
