The evidence is shown when It tells us “As soon as he had learned of Okonkwo's return five months earlier, the missionary had immediately paid him a visit. He had just sent Okonkwo's son, Nwoye, who was now called Isaac, to the new training college for teachers in Umuru.”(134) This evidence supports my claim because It tells us how Nwoye’s live has gotten better after he left.

Hello my Christian friends, welcome to my father Okonkwo funeral for the converts of the church. I will not stand here in front of you today in a Christian church and tell you of the man the ibo people of Umoufia saw.

John Wilkinson, born in Norfolk, Virginia on November 6, 1821 was only 16 years old when he joined the navy. He was a naval cadet in the US Navy.

-After Nwoye is lured into the Christian religion and abandons his culture and family, Okonkwo is ashamed and states, "you have all see the great abomination of your brother. Now he is no longer my son or your brother. I will only have a son who is a man, who will hold his head up among my people" (172).

Nwoye’s sense of identity was challenged with the introduction of western ideas because, Nwoye wanted to convert to Christianity. “Although Nwoye had been attracted to the new faith from the very first day,he kept it a secret.

Although, a seemingly inconceivable idea, these fictitious texts provide valuable insight into significant issues and matters both known and unknown of the future. Upon original release, the novels remain a mere glimpse into impossible feats, but the true artistry of the genre is, over time, revealed through the definite parallel between predictions made by authors and reality. In Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, this is exemplified through the implications of corporate greed, advanced technologies and bureaucratic
