TFA Chapter 16

2 more years after Okonkwo's exile Obierika visits him again. He explains that missionaries have come to Umuofia. They are taking over with building churches. He explains that the tribe feels that they won't last very long in the village. It is said that Nwoye joins the missionary and that he likes singing because he feels good. He doesn't want Okonkwo to find out about it, because he is scared of what he might to do him. If i was Nwoye I would be afraid too. Okonkwo is very violent. The story goes back to talking about the missionaries. There are six of them apparently and one man is white. The missionaries explained to the village people that they believe in false gods and that their it truly only one God. Ohh yeah, they also talked about the "iron horse" again, and I think it is a bicycle? .. I kind of missed that in the last chapter. haha ... anyways.. the rest of the chapter just explains that their gods aren't real and basically Okonkwo disagrees. I'm pretty sure he has no heart and he just doesn't care to believe anything that anyone else says.
