PART TWO: SUMMARY

After Okonkwo´s crime, he was exiled within his family, so he went to Mbanta to stay with his mother, when he arrived he received the help from his uncle Uchendu and his mother´s kinsmen to built his obi and three huts for Okonkwo´s wives, also he received three pieces of land for farming.

It seems that the life of Okonkwo was raising again, but in his mind was falling apart, Okonkwo felt depressed and his joy and enthusiasm was lost. He had this goal of being a chief of the clan, in which he will never achieve.

The second year of exile arrived, Obierka came to visit Okonkwo. He brought with him two young men to carry bags full of cowries. Uchendu received the guests and begin to drink wine. While they were drinking, Obierka told them an event that will change the life of Umuofia forever.

"The Abame has been wiped out" this unbelievable and terrible story was about the arrival of a white man ridding an iron horse in Abame, but it wasn't an albino, it was different. The clan went to ask the Oracle for advice and the message was " The strange man would break the clan and spread destruction among them". In that moment, the clan went to kill the white man, but the problem was that the white man didn't say anything. 

The last thing is what worries Uchendu, because after killing the white men, the land of Abame was cursed. It occurred a big market in Abame and three white men and a large number of men surrounding the market, and they began to shoot and everyone of the clan was killed except the old and the sick that were in their homes.

Two years later, Obierka pay another visit to Okonkwo, but this time the event was that missionaries had come to Umuofia, they built a church and convents and they send evangelists to the surrounding villages or clans. It was a chaos. The thing that motivated Obierka to visit his friend is seeing Nwoye among the missionaries in Umuofia and when Obierka tried to speak with the son of his friend and ask him about Okonkwo he just answer " He is not my father".

The arrival of the missionaries in Mbanta has caused a chaos among the people, because all the stories about the white man and terrible.The White men began to talk about the new religion; God and Hell within the purpose of convince the clan that their religion was wrong. When they  mentioned Jesu Kristi, Okonkwo began to make fun of him, also he cannot believed that his son was captivated.

Three moons has passed, and the missionaries were in the need of a piece of land to built a church so the clan gave them what they wanted but in the Evil Forest with the hope that the white man were death within four days. The time passed and the clan thought that the white men presented like a rare magic or an unbelievable power. Thanks of this, the clan began to think that the new religion was true. Since that day Okonwkwo fear the future for the children and his son.

The time passed and more members of the clan become Christians, the outcasts found a place were they belong in the new religion, and the clan was divided more and more. New statements were declared to take off the rights of the new Christians.

Seven days of exile were finally over, so Okonkwo prepare a big feast to gave thanks and he was ready to go back to Umuofia.
