Chapter 23

Okonkwo is pretty happy with his tribe at this point and feels a little stress free. He feels this is going to be a war and maybe even be able to get his village and clan back. He is feeling really good when the District Comissioner wants to meet and talk. I found it amusing when they put their weapons down because it was obvious they were going to need them very soon. Of course the christians put handcuffs on them and held them prisoner. I thought it was very stupid of them not to fight back and not seeing this coming. They acted all friendly but in the end they are pure enemies. They sent word out to the clan that they had their leaders held captive and that they must pay a fee to get them back. They had these guys all chained up to like a wall and did not allow them to go anywhere not even to the bathroom. These people are mean not even letting them go to the bathroom. They had to stand in their pee that is so gross and horrible torture. I knew I did not like these guys from the start. They also did not feed them. They had to be starving pure tortue. This should really start a war now after all of this. Finally after a few days the clan rounded up enough money to get them out so they were free to go. I really have no idea where this book is going to. Okonkwo seems like a changed man when he returned home and for once I think the clan should listen to him.
