A very important elder dies in this chapter. He was very important to the village and was an excellent warrior so he had a very large funeral. While pounding the drums and firing their guns, Okonkwo's gun explodes and kills the mans son.
Because it is against the law to kill another villager Okonkwo and his family are exiled. They are put into exile for seven years. All of Okonkwo's buildings and animals are burned and killed. All that he has worked for is now gone. It is terrible that a man has to be exiled for an accident.

dude, what did you think about all that? The chapter seemed harsh, it was all about death and loss. You got to look at the brighter side of these things. the spirit men were cool though.
