Things Fall Apart Chapter 21

Unlike Okonkwo, some of the villagers appreciate what the white missionaries are doing. Because they came, money and trade is flowing into the village. They are becoming very wealthy. The pastor, Mr. Brown discusses religion with different people and tries to understand why they believe the things they do. Mr. Brown also sets up a hospital and a school. He tells the villagers to send their children to the school so that they will become very powerful. The villagers agree and send them. Then, Mr. Brown visits Okonkwo and tells him that Nwoye is in college. Okonkwo chases him away. Okonkwo becomes disappointed becaue no one notices that he has returned to the village. Getting his position back is not as easy as he thought it was going to be.
