Page/Quote reflecting on: Pg. 28

Okonkwo is so twisted in his thinking. Showing affection is not a weakness not unless you have a deadly enemy who is watching you all the time to find the best way to hurt you, tear you down, or get you to do something because they know you would do anything to saved the one you care about. I think it's awesome, though, that he actually ended up liking Ikemefuna and becoming very fond of him but of course, he couldn't show it at all because of his ego or whatever and so he was just as hard on him as he was on his own family. But they did gain that father son relationship which is totally awesome. It seems like Okonkwo likes Ikemefuna better than his own son sometimes but I don't think his son really would care if that was true. Nwoye was infatuated himself with Ikemefuna and really looked up to him. I think the impact Ikemefuna had on all of Okonkwo's family was great.
