Chapter 2

What is the main idea of this chapter?

What is the town crier's message to the people?

What are people in Umuofia afraid of?

What did "the sons" of Mbaino do that angered the men of Omuofia?

What do the men of Mbaino give the village of Umuofia instead of going to war?

What does Okonkwo fear the most?

Who comes to stay with Okonkwo and his three wives and eight children?

In the last sentence of the first paragraph of Chapter 2, Okonkwo "discerned a clear overtone of tragedy in the crier's voice."

What does "discerned" mean in this context?

Is there anything that is unclear in this chapter?

Question #7

Reread the end of the last paragraph in Chapter 1. "As the elders said, if a child washed his hands he could eat with kings. Okonkwo had clearly washed his hands and so he ate with kings and elders."

Which is the best interpretation of these two sentences?
