entry 13
page of reflection:124
A tragidy had a occured you could say, Okonkwo had accidentally
shot young women during the funeral of Ezeudu. The punishment for something
like this to occur was to leave to there motherland for seven years. The
punishment was from the earth goddess, not to mention that the
property would be destroyed there animals would be killed
there yams burned, and there compound destroyed too. It was
a complete accident what had happend which came with a sever punishment.
Okonkwo and his family had to flee to his motherland, he was
going to have to start over, gain respect amongst those in the village,
and provide a home and food for his family of three wives with many
children. What must have made things worse for Okonkwo was that his life goal was
to get all four titles of the clan which now seemed to be precluded .
His motherland was where his mother was from before she was married,
in this case his motherland was in Mbanta.
