Summary Okonkwo – Strong, respected, wealthy man of his tribe of Igbo people in Nigeria (page 11) Turn of the century Death of Ikemefuna (page 55) Affect on Nwoye Okonkwo exiled for accidental shooting Coming of the missionaries Nwoye (page 133)

Plot Positive Different culture Sad story Negative Slow-moving at times (character-driven) Full of flashbacks (sometimes confusing)

Writing style Positive Very descriptive (important because I’ve never been to Africa) Uses simple language and sentence structure Uses Igbo words from time to time (gives a better feeling for the culture) Negative Doesn’t follow a typical linear plot progression (lots of flashbacks and side-plots) Ogbanje and iyi-uwa (page 80)
