Things Fall Apart Chapter 20
Okonkwo returns to Umuofia and still plans on marrying off Ezinma and introducing his sons into society. He is very disappointed of how the village has changed since he has been gone. The Christians have taken over everything. They came in with a new set of rules and a judicial system. Okonkwo does not like the white men and wishes to drive them out. Obierika tells Okonkwo that it is too late and that the Christians are very strong. They talk about a man that was hanged because he killed somebody while arguing. Both of them are very sad. It seems like Okonkwo is not giving the white men a chance. He doesn't seem to like change either. He liked things just the way they were before he left.

Your posts are appearing every 5-10 minutes. This shows me you waited to the last minute to update your blog.
You had 3 weeks to do this assignment, and the length of your posts is less than what I was hoping for.

Again, only the last few sentences in your post are what I'm after:
"It seems like Okonkwo is not giving the white men a chance. He doesn't seem to like change either. He liked things just the way they were before he left."
This is a pretty basic statement. Tell me what he plans to do to get rid of them? How does the town feel about his views? ELABORATE MORE.
I have to say your posts are not what I was looking for.
