Chapter One:
This chapter mostly talks about Okonkwo and who he is. It tells you how he is seen in Umuofia and how he honors them. His fame is rested upon personal acheivements. He brought honor to his vilage by throwing Amalinze the Cat. Amalinze was the great wrestler who was unbeaten for seven years, from Umuofia to Mbaino. He was called the Cat because his back never touched the ground. Also in Chapter One in chapter one it tells you about Okonkwo's father, Unoka. He was shameful, lazy, and weak. He was always losing and borrowing money. He is now deceased but is in a lot of debt. He owed people lots of money, but never paid people back. He wasn't a good supplier for his wife and kids. They often went hungry. Okonkwo doesn’t like his father at all. He doesn’t like him because he weak and lazy and couldn’t really do for himself. He died from a shameful death , “swelling which was an abomination to the earth goddess.”
