Today, I was sitting around with my mom and dad in the other
area, being very bored because I had finished my duties for today. I was
thinking of how the harvest might to this year, and the murder committed by my
village lately. I was just about to over to my friend’s house when these
very well dressed strangers came to my house door. My parents went to see
what they wanted. They quietly whispered to each other about
something. I was not able to hear a lot of it, but I managed to
hear the words "murder" "war'" and "hand over".
I did not know what was going on, but I did not want to figure out.
Before I could make my move to escape, they took me and my parents did
not do anything to stop it! All they did was stand around and cry!
I was taken by the two strangers along with a girl I had never met
before. The girl and I walked with the men for what seemed like we had
crossed the whole Fatherland and back! And then we reached the village
called "Umuofia". I was separated from the girl, and I never saw her
again. I than was led to the house of one of my takers. Apparently, his
name is Onkonkwo. Then it hit me! Onkonkwo is the famous wrestler/warrior that
defeated Amalinze the Cat! I do not know whether I should be over-joyed and
honored, or scared!
