TFA Chapter 7

The story continues going on after three years. It then goes into Okonkwo telling violent stories to his boys. Nwoye states that he likes his mother stories better, because there is no violence in them. Locusts were brought up, and it said that the people liked them because they were a good source of food. Personally, i hate locusts. They freak me out. The town decides that they are going to kill Ikemefuna. In response to this, Okonkwo tells Ikemefuna that he is going to be taken home the next day. Nwoye overhears this and Okonkwo beats him. If i was Ikemefuna, i would not believe i was going to be going home after three years. There is no way. Ikemefuna wants to see his mother and sister, so he is a little bit excited, but somehow he knows he will not get to see them. They take him outside of the village and a man with a machete cuts Ikemefuna. He runs over to Okonkwo, but then Okonkwo cuts him too. Then the chapter ends. After reading this, it made me pretty sad. I would rather be shot and put out of my misery than to be sliced with a machete. I still don't think the people should have killed a child. It seems wrong to me.
