There is a tribe named Umuofia and Okonkwo is the lader of this one, this character has 3 wives and 8 children. His father name was Unuoka, who used to play instruments very good and played the flute and had a band, but he died ten years ago, but even before he died he was very lazy. When Okonkwo's father died, he was recognized for being a good wrestler in all the nine villages.
One day in another village named Mbaino a murder about a girl happened so he went there to see what was happening, and after two days of being there he found out a girl and he took her with him the girl's name was Ikemefuna she was fifteen years old, he was scared when she started to live with them but when time passed by he was normal again and she was being part of the family.
Some time passed by and Okonkwo insulted a men just because the meeting that they were in, was just for men, so basically he was saying that the men was a girl.
The week of peace arrived so as it's name say in that week everybody is intended to do nothing and just be nice and kind to everyone but Okonkwo broke the rules so he was punished.
In the New Year Yam everyone was waiting for the new crops to grow; it was a really new experience to them.
