"During the last planting season a white man appeared in his clan" (Achebe 138).
Finally, they got here! Well, now I can observe this clashing of cultures that I thought would happen. The friction is bound to send sparks flying, I'll wager two pages from now something bad happens between them. "And so they killed the white man and tied his iron horse to their sacred tree because it looked as if it would run away to call the man's friends." (Achebe 138). Well then, same page is a bit sooner then I expected. Oh well, there was a communication barrier, they are going to figure out how to get over it and come back. Yeah, this isn't going to be too bad! "And they began to shoot." (Achebe 139) Wow, they met one page ago, and women and children are already being senselessly slaughtered. Well, guess I can finally talk about what brings this on next.
