Chapter Nineteen

This was a good chapter. Okonkwo is going to go home, so he calls his whole family together and throws a huge feast. there is more than enough food for everyone and they are all happy. Gratitude from Okonkwo is so rare that this is cool indeed. This is almost the only chapter that has almost nothing in it to spoil the fun. The only bad not is when the one relative stands and denounces the younger generation. Everyone else is cheering okonkwo on and wishing him luck.
I liked how the book described the use of clay to build houses. that was a neat example of african society. the other neat things were how they loved to have as many children as possible. the families were happiest when they had as many mouths to feed as they possibly could. what a great society!
