Chapter 19

What is the main idea of this chapter?

Okonkwo's wives prepare a feast. Why?

What does Ekwefi provide for the feast that the other two wives lack?

As the oldest man of the clan, Uchendu (Okonkwo's uncle) breaks a kola nut and prays to their ancestors. What does he pray for?

Another of the oldest clansmen gives a speech. What does he say?

Find the end of the last paragraph of Chapter 19 where one of the clansmen says, "I fear for you young people because you do not understand how strong is the bond of kinship."

What does "bond" mean in this context?

Is there anything that is unclear in this chapter?
