Part II Things Fall Apart Summary

Chapter 14

• Okonkwo is exiled to Mbanta his motherland where his uncle Uchendu gives him warmth and comfort with his family, he is given by all of his cousins 300 yams so he can start a new farm and a good quantity of land so he can make his Ibo and the huts of his family. Okonkwo gets really depressed for his exile and when Uchendu notices this he talks with him and tells him that he is not the greatest sufferer in the world that there are people who get exiled for all their lives or even killed. In this Chapter Uchendu tells Okonkwo that his mother's land will always be available for him and relates it to when a father slaps a kid he goes for comfort with its mother.

Chapter 15

• Two years have passed since Okonkwo's exile and a friend of him, Obierika visits him bringing two bags, which later in the chapter we find out that they are yams from Okonwko's ex- farms in his tribe which Obierika had been working for him and he gives the yams to Okonkwo. He also tells that a Village named Abame was attacked by white men after one of them was killed when he came to town due to the oracles; they predicted that the white man would bring chaos and would destroy the village. So they killed the man and tied in what the white man arrived to the town which was thought as an iron horse. time later more white men came and saw the iron horse tied, then they left, nothing happened until one day they infiltrated the town market and out of nowhere they brought out their guns and began murdering everyone in there, the only ones who survived where the old men and the sick ones who could not go to the market... When Uchendu realizes that the first white man had said nothing only things in other languages when he was killed he says that the men of Abame are fools for killing him, Okonkwo thinks the same although he adds that the men should have armed when the oracle said the prediction. In this Chapter the story of Mother Kite is as a reference to the people in Abame as killing the silent white man.

Chapter 16

• Obierika returns to Mbanta to visit Okonkwo again but this time because he has seen Nwoye with some Christian missionaries, Christianity is getting more and more followers but these are efulefu (men who are not worth anything or hold any title.) Okonkwo doesn’t speak about Nwoye and Nwoye says that Okonkwo isn't his father so Nwoye tells Obierika What had happened. Men Came to Mbanta with an interpreter called Mr. Kaiga, they speak of religion and tell that the gods they worshiped in the villages werent real and were fake, there was only one God creator of everything, people in the town mock him by laughing when the interpreter says "my buttocks" every time he means "myself" they also don’t agree in the holy trinity and how God could have a son without having a wife. Okonkwo is angry and goes away as much of the other people who were listening, but Nwoye is really persuaded by this man due to the fact that this God won’t make the people kill themselves or some of the evil things that their fake wooden and stone gods, meaning that the twins he hears in the evil forest and Ikemufuna would still be alive if people followed this one and only God. 

Chapter 17

• The missionaries want a place where to build a church. the elders and the leaders of the clan gather and discuss whether giving them or not this piece of land they want, they come to the conclusion of giving them part of their evil forest so missionaries will confront the same fate as everyone who was sent there and people in the town will realize how powerful their gods are once again. They say that by the fourth day, the missionaries will be no more. The missionaries are given the land and begin the construction of the church, as the days pass people begin to hope missionaries’ death, but when four days pass and more keep on passing people lose faith in their mighty gods due to the fact that the missionaries are still perfectly fine.

Chapter 18

• The church has new followers, sadly they are the outcasts, people from church want Mr. Kaiga to kick them out but then he says they are sons of god to and lets them into Christianity only if they cut their long hair and beards... Another day one sacred python has been killed by one of the people converted to Christians and Mbanta wants to do something and Okonkwo wants revenge and to lead the Christians out of their... when the tribe is about to attack they are told that the man who killed the python died, then they decide not to attack due to the fact that it was proven that their gods can still fight their own battles.

Chapter 19

• almost seven years have passed since Okonkwo was exiled meaning this that he would return in no time to his homeland, he decides to throw a feast for all his family who helped him during this tough years although he feels bad due to the fact that he knew he could have been more important in his homeland and earned more titles by the time that had gone past. Here Okonkwo's kinsmen speak very good of the feast and how Okonkwo thinks having kinsmen reunions are important and how the young people will have to suffer due to the fact of Christians and how they are worried for them.
