chapter sixteen

The missionaries have come. the book makes them seem rather foolish and weak, but they are quickly growing in power. even Okonkwos son has joined them. the chapter is showing the ibo peoples disdain for this illogical religion. they think their gods will soon destroy the moronic white men. The phrase mad dog was used to describe them.
I think they are counting the missionaries out too early though. these guys may be powerhouses before too long. I think they are going to play prominantly in the rest of the story.
