Ibo's responses to white men

The Ibo people’s responses to the white men at first were that they didn’t like them. Most of the villagers didn’t agree with the customs of Christianity. There were a few that followed the white men but most of them didn’t. The Christians were stunned by the way the Ibo people acted. They thought that killing twins was wrong and they thought that the Ibo people were heathens. They also didn’t understand why they thought there was more than one god. Then the Christians converted some of the Ibo people to Christianity. The converts left the village. Nwoye, Okonkwo’s son, converted and Okonkwo didn’t consider him his son anymore. Once the Christians got to know the Ibo people better, they stated being nicer to them. They built schools, churches and a hospital. Mr. Brown was one of the reverends and he was very nice. He tried to understand the Ibo culture. Mr. Smith was Mr. Brown’s replacement when he got sick and left, and he was the exact opposite of Mr. Brown. He was mean and sent a lot of people to jail. He doesn’t want anyone in his religion who isn’t 100% devoted to Christianity. For the most part, the British don’t really agree with how the Africans live their life. They think their religion is weird so they try to convert them to Christianity. Most of the Ibo people don’t like the British very much either.
