Chapter 16

What is the main idea of this chapter?

Four years into Okonkwo's exile, who comes to visit him?

What does this visitor tell Okonkwo?

What does the white man say to the people of Mbanta?

What does Okonkwo think about the white man and his message?

Find the section where the white man tells the crowd that their gods are not alive and cannot hurt them. When the men of Mbanta heard this "they broked into derisive laughter."

What does "derisive" mean in this context?

Is there anything that is unclear in this chapter?
