“Beep! Beep! Beep!” My alarm clock only had to ring three times for me to turn it off and hop out of bed that morning. The day before I had hit snooze twice refusing to get up, but today was different, it held a special purpose. I pulled on my bathing suit, a pair of shorts, and a hoodie, and ran down the steps into the kitchen. My mom was in her usual morning spot, in a big white chair off the kitchen with her bible open, and her reading glasses on. On the table were two pieces of cinnamon toast

Because of the choices Okonkwo has made, he have affected his kids, wives, and also himself. “As soon as his father walked in, that night, Nwoye knew that Ikemefuna had been killed, and something seemed to give away inside him, like the snapping of a tightened bow. He did not cry. He just hung limp.(Chapter 7,pg.53) Although the old man told Okonkwo not to help kill his “son,” he still did and he listened to the ancestors who told him to kill Ikemefuna.
