Unknown Story
Storyboard Text
- Chapter 3
- Unoka was an ill-fated man. He had a bad chi or personalgod, and evil fortune followed him to the grave, or rather to hisdeath, for he had no grave. He died of the swelling which was anabomination to the earth goddess.
- Chapter 4
- But the Ibo people have a proverb that when a man saysyes his chi says yes also. Okonkwo said yes very strongly;so his chi agreed.
- Chapter 11
- I am following Cheilo
- At the beginning of the story, the narrator goes back in time to when Unoka was alive. He wasn't a very successful man and Okonkwo was ashamed of him because of this. The priestess came to him to talk. She says he is weak compared to the other men. He depends his success to that of what his 'chi' says. This connects to the idea of fate vs free will. He believs that his fate relies on his chi, and rather than trying to change his fate, he just listens.
- Chapter 14
- A man could not rise beyond the destiny of his chi. Thesaying of the elders was not true—that if a man said yea his chialso affirmed. Here was a man whose chi said nay despite hisown affirmation.
- Everybody was killed, except the old and sick who were at home and a handful of men and women whose chi were wide awake and brought them out of that market.
- While at a meeting, Okonkwo calls one of the other men a woman because he had no titles. He believes men deserve success, which he earned when he defeated Cat. He said that his success was brought because of his chi, he asked his chi and it said yes. He relies his fate on to what is chi tells him.
- Chapter 15
- One night Cheilo comes to Okonkwo's huts to come and take Ezinma because that is what Agbala said to do. Ekwefi- a very stubborn, not follow the rules type of woman- follows Chielo to make sure her daughter is safe. She doesn't fit into the stereotype female, she follows her own free will to whereever that takes her.
- Chapter 24
- “In a flash Okonkwo drew his machete. The messenger crouched to avoid the blow. It was useless. Okonkwo’s machete descended twice and the man’s head lay beside his uniformed body.”
- Okonkwo was trying to start his new life for the next 7 years but kept thinking back to when he got cast out of Umuofia. He was very succesful back in Umuofia, his chi was being good to him. When he got cast out, even though he said yes, his chi said no. He relied on his chi to make his decisions and fate for him rather than going against his own free will.
- In the village of Abame, there were some white people that came and ultimately killed everyone. There were some that survived, the ones who's chi protected them. Their chi set their fate for them and kept them safe. If they were to have followed their own free will, they would have ended up dead like everyone else.
- There was a meeting in town when a group of white men showed up. Without thinking, Okonkwo pulled his machete on one of the men and beheaded him. He followed his free will and didn't think about his decisions before.
