entry 31

"The hymn about brothers who sat in darkness and in fear seemed to answer a vague and persistent question that haunted his young soul-the question of the twins crying in the bush and the question of Ikemefuna who was killed. He felt relief within as the hymn poured into his parched soul.''p.g.147

Nyowe is going to end up becoming Christian, because these events that stuck in his mind through his life make him question his faith and the goodness of his religion. He is right though what kind of religion allows the killing of innocent children. I wonder what will happen between Nyowe and Okonkwo when Okonkwo finds out he is going to join the new religion. I think one of two things will happen, first Okonkwo will beat Nyowe and force him to forget about the new religion but Nyowe will run away and join anyway. Or Okonkwo will find out and disown Nyowe and not speak of him again.
