Things Fall Apart Chapter 14

Uchendu, Okonkwo's uncle, welcomes Okonkwo into his tribe. The men of the family help Okonkwo build new huts for him and his wives. He starts to plants yams but does not feel as happy while doing it. He had a name in his old village and now he would never become one of the lords of the clan. One of Uchendu's sons gets married and Okonkwo helps out. The next day, Unchendu tells a story of how a man lives in his fatherland when times are good and runs to his motherland when times are bad. He is trying to tell Okonkwo to appreciate what he has and to not take advantage of it.
