TFA Chapter 14

This chapter continues Okonkwo's flee from his tribe. He goes to Mbanta to live with Uchendu. When Uchendu sees Okonkwo he knows what he has done without asking him or talking to him about it. The following day Okonkwo ends up telling him the whole story. Okonkwo was given land to build a home and some land to farm on. His first three months there it did not rain. Uchendu's youngest of five sons is getting married. It basically just talks about the ceremony. The soon to be daughter-in-law is questioned. If she lies about the answers then she will suffer or even die at childbirth. If i was her I would not like, because going through something horrible like that would already be bad enough. I noticed in this book they drink a lot of wine. Every time something happens whether it is good or it is bad, they get wine for it. It is kind of weird. I mean we drink wine here, but very rarely. The end of the chapter talks about if you are buried in your motherland then you had a rough life, maybe been abused, and you just need someone to love, which is your mother. If you are buried in your fatherland then you often had a good life and you are very successful. I think this is kind of a stupid belief. I think you should be asked before you die where you want to be buried. People to that here sometimes. It was neat reading about that though.
