They demand the church be burned for compensation, but Smith refuses; however, his translator implies he will deal with Enoch, and the egwugwus burn down the church anyway. Conflicts emerge between Smith and Brown, Smith and Igbo society, and Enoch and the egwugwus.

The villagers of Mbanta gave the missionaries land to build a church, and many villagers including Nwoye converted to Christianity. Okonkwo was very upset by Nwoye's conversion and beat him. Nwoye then went to Umuofia to further study the new faith. There were conflicts between the villagers and the white missionaries, and between Okonkwo and his son Nwoye over his embrace of the new religion.

This chapter discusses Okonkwo preparing to return to Umuofia after seven years in exile. He continues wishing his daughter Ezinma was a boy since they have a close bond. The white men have changed Umuofia by establishing their own court system and imprisoning those undermining their authority. Okonkwo does not understand why his people allowed this. A dispute between Aneto and Oduche from Abame results in Aneto killing and hanging Oduche, showing the new legal system.

Three converts were beaten for their faith in the new church. The white men then established a court and executed a man for killing a missionary. This caused tension as two outcasts joined the church, worrying the converts. The sacred python god was then killed, motivating the tribe to come together and ostracize the church and converts from the village. Okonkwo was increasingly in conflict with the new social order being introduced.

In chapters 15 and 16 of Things Fall Apart, two years pass since Okonkwo moved to Mbanta in exile. Obierika visits Okonkwo, bringing money from selling his yams. Obierika also meets Uchendu. Meanwhile, six missionaries arrive in Mbanta preaching their religion. While Okonkwo is skeptical, Nwoye is intrigued by their teachings of one God and holy trinity. Obierika returns from visiting Okonkwo with news of the missionaries' influence growing.

Obierika tells Okonkwo that missionaries have converted some in Umuofia to the new religion. Nwoye, Okonkwo's son, becomes one of the converts, deepening the conflict between Okonkwo and his son. The missionary struggles to preach to the skeptical crowd due to language barriers. Tensions grow between the Igbo culture and the spreading Western influence of the white missionaries in the region.
C tfa 15
Obierika brings Okonkwo cowsries and they discuss current events with Uchenda. Uchenda tells a story from the past about mother Kite as Obierika informs them that the neighboring village of Abame was destroyed by white men. While the men shake hands and share stories according to cultural norms, conflicts are arising from the destruction caused by encounters with the white men. Uchenda is shown to be wise from his life experiences while Okonkwo appears thankful, but no one discusses taking action against the white men for now.
E tfa 14
Okonkwo visits his mother's homeland and attends his uncle Uchendu's son's wedding. Uchendu explains that in their culture, women are valued as protectors. Okonkwo struggles to find inspiration since losing his status in his village. Uchendu hopes the visit will help Okonkwo, but it remains unclear if Okonkwo is truly changing in his views.
E tfa 13
Okonkwo shoots and kills the son of Ezeudu at his funeral. As a result, Okonkwo and his family are forced to flee their village. Obierika, a friend of Okonkwo's, helps him pack up before his departure. Additionally, Obierika stores yams for Okonkwo to help with his exile. The document discusses key characters like Okonkwo and Ezeudu. It also describes the events of Ezeudu's death, funeral, Okonkwo's actions, and his fleeing of the village.
C tfa 14
Okonkwo moves with his family to his uncle Uchendu's village of Mbanta after being exiled from Umofia for 7 years. Uchendu warmly greets them and gives Okonkwo land and yam seeds to farm. However, Okonkwo finds little pleasure in farming and no chance of becoming a lord. Meanwhile, Uchendu's son Amikwu takes a new wife, and Uchendu advises Okonkwo to accept his situation gratefully.
E tfa 11
Ekwefi tells Ezinma a folk tale to explain why tortoises have rough shells. Chielo informs Ekwefi that the goddess Agbala wishes to see Ezinma. Ekwefi follows Chielo and Ezinma to the cave where Agbala resides, overcoming her fear. Okonkwo waits anxiously with Ekwefi, willing to save Ezinma even from a god. The chapter explores cultural norms of using folk tales to teach lessons, and the internal conflicts Ekwefi faces in following her daughter to meet with the goddess.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Huck
- 1. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain “All American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn… it’s the best book we’ve had.” - Ernest Hemingway QuickTime™ and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture.
- 2. Summary Written in 1885 but takes place in the 1840s - Huckleberry Finn, 14, grows up in St. Petersburg, Missouri with no mother and an alcoholic father who has skipped town. Huck is being cared for by two women: Widow Douglas and her sister Miss Watson. Huck likes to skip school and hang out with his best friend, Tom Sawyer.
- 3. Summary – Part Two Huck’s dad, Pap, returns and imprisons Huck in a cabin outside of town. Huck escapes and runs into Jim, a black slave, who is also trying to escape. The bulk of the story chronicles Huck and Jim’s travels down the Mississippi River and the continued trouble they seem to get themselves into.
- 4. Who was Mark Twain? Actually, he was Samuel Clemens. b. 1835 d. 1910 Who grew up in Hannibal, Missouri - the town that St. Petersburg is heavily based on. Mark Twain = 2 fathoms or 12 ft. “safe water” riverboat term Believed strongly that the problem of race had to be solved.
- 5. Ex-nay on the Huck Finn-ay Huck Finn was banned from many libraries because the content was thought to be too dark, distasteful, and unsuitable for children. Specifically, the library in Concord, MA banned Huck Finn the year it came out (1885)! Official committee members of the Concord library said the novel was, "rough, coarse and inelegant, dealing with a series of experiences not elevating, the whole book being more suited to the slums than to intelligent, respectable people." Yikes!
- 6. So, what’s the big deal? The problem was that readers took Twain literally and believed he was serious! The key to understanding Twain’s novel is by realizing that it’s a satire.
- 7. What is Satire? Satire - using sarcasm to denounce or expose something foolish So what is Twain trying to denounce? Racism. Irony - Opposite of literal meaning: I have a ton of homework - how nice! (this is also sarcasm) Or the opposite of what is expected to happen: Twain creates a racist protagonist to prove his point that racism is wrong. So basically, we need to take everything that Twain says, flip it around, and that’s what he really means!
- 8. Twain’s Writing Style Colloquial Language – dialects Pahk the cah in Hahvahd yahd Picaresque novel - usually a first-person narrative, relating the adventures of a rogue or low- born adventurer (Spanish pícaro) as he drifts from place to place and from one social milieu to another in his effort to survive. Episodic structure – series of mini stories 1st person unreliable narrative (like Holden)
- 9. Main Ideas of Twain’s Novel Christian religion vs. superstition Racism/Slavery (shown through satire) Individual vs. Society
- 10. Chronology of Events 1840 – Time when novel takes place 1861-1865 - Civil War: Southern confederate states wanted to form their own United States. Northern Union states fought to keep the country unified 1863 - Emancipation Proclamation: Pres. Abraham Lincoln signed this document declaring all slaves in Confederate states to be free. 1866 - 13th Amendment: Amendment to the U.S. constitution abolishing slavery. 1883 - Tom Sawyer was written 1885 - Huck Finn was written
- 11. Chronology of Events cont’d. 1964 - Civil Rights Act: President Lyndon Johnson signed a law prohibiting discrimination in public places (remember Rosaleen watching President Johnson sign the document on TV?) The Civil Rights Act was signed only 45 years ago. Think about it.
