Question one: what is going on it this passage?
The passage (1129-1234) is mainly about three characters: Ezinma, Ekwefi, and Chielo. Ezinma is the daughter of Ekwefi, and Chielo is the priestess of their clan. In this passage Chielo is doing her usual thing where she communicates with Agbala (one of the gods), she says that Agbala wants to see/meet Ezinma, so she leaves with her and goes off into the hills, chanting away. Ekwefi starts to worry about her daughter and so she runs to catch up with Chielo, but she stays behind them and follows them for a ver long time they go to the furthest village in the clan and then turn arround and walk back in the detection of home, but they stop at a cave and go in, Ekwefi is afraid to go in but she waits out side because she is afraid for her daughter, she waits for a really long time then Okonkwo comes and tells Ekwefi to go home and rest and he will stay and wait.
Question two: Discuss Chielo's role in the community and also what do you think she is doing with Ezinma?
Chielos role in the community is mainly the role as the priestess for Agbala, she is respected, honored, and valued. I think that she is taking Ezinma with her to see Agbala because Agbala asked to see her and that is not something that is unusual it seems, no one seems to think it is odd when she asks to take Ezinma with her. However that seems to an illogical assumption because Ekwefi seems to get really nervous, but I don't know if that is just because she has never had that happen to her before of if it was that maybe because Ezinma was sick, I guess I don't really know what Chielo was doing with Ezinma but I put what I think it might have been above.
