While Okonkwo is having his own problems and anger issues, I feel anxious about what has become of Nwoye. Despite the book revolving mainly around Okonkwo and those directly near him, I want to know what has become of Nwoye. It feels as if he was the main character most people our age could relate to, with trying to find himself and feeling like an outcast. I personally know too much about feeling left out and alone, and it made me connect more with Nwoye. But I dislike how the author simply brushed over him. How could Nwoye just convert and be disowned and still not have problems of his own afterward? Nothing is ever black-and-white on either side--Christian or Ibo. We were fed Ekwefi's emotions and her past, and came to enjoy her and Ezinma, and yet the person we were fed tiny bits and pieces of has suddenly disappeared before we could finally read a passage that was all in his head. Sure, we had the time right after Ikemefuna was killed, but in all these years he has grown, and yet we know nothing of what has become of him.

I wonder what has become of him; I wonder if Okonkwo sometimes misses his son, or even thinks about him without hatred due to his "abandonment". But, I ask, did Nwoye really abandon his family? In my mind, he was abandoned by them, or more specifically his father. He tried to appeal to his father, but he wasn't accepted for who he was and he was put off constantly. The hole that was left by Ikemefuna's death, in place of where his father should be, was filled with Christianity. It helped him. I long for more from Nwoye and less from a main character I can barely stand.
