Chapter 25

I thought that Okonkwo was going to commit suicide in the end, but I would have thought he would have done it on his own ground. I feel bad for Okonkwo because everything he worked so hard for was lost because of two events. I don't think that is fair. He might have come off as cold, but he really did love his family and work hard for everything that he got. One positive thing is that he did not become anything like his father. His father would have never rebeled against the white men. I would actually guess that he would convert over to christianity. I feel really bad for Okonkwo's family because they were hurt just so he could die with his honor. I don't think its right that the District Commissioner plans to write a whole chapter in his book about Okonkwo's suicide. I mean isn't he a christian man, and suicide is just as big of a sin in christtianity as it is in African culture. I guess I really don't like him because he seems like a hypocrite to me. I definitely would side with Okonkwo in the end because I feel so bad for him. His life truly fell apart.
