Okonkwo

I think that Okonwkwo is a good guy, but he can be really mean sometimes. He can be a really hard worker for example in chapter 3 he goes to a leader of the community and he brings him gifts. After giving him the gifts and then saying how much he respects him he asks him if he can loan him 400 yam seeds. The man trusts him so much that he gives him 800. But the year he received the yam seeds it was dry all year long. No matter what he seeds and sprouts still died. So he tried again but this time there was rainstorm after rainstorm and they all got washed away. So there I admired him for how hard he worked and felt sorry for him because he had to pay off all of his dad’s loans. And now the seeds that he owed the man. But, I also think that he can over react sometimes. For example in chapter four when he came home to find that this 3rd wife wasn’t there to make him dinner. Even though she left her children at home to go do her hair I do not think that he should have beaten her like that. She does a lot for him and is there whenever he wants her so I think it is ok that she left for about an hour to do something for herself.
