The Week Of Peace

Other things that happened in part one is that during the Week of Peace everyone was suppose to be nice and not mean. Okonkwo had beat one of his wives because she left the village to go get he hair plait and she didn't cook but he knew he wasn't suppose to beat her during that week. They had a Feast of the New Yam which was held every year before the harvest to honor the Earth goddess and the ancestral spirits of the clan. The New Yam Festival was an occasion for joy, but Okonkwo never got excited about the festival unlike the other people who were over joyed and excited.  Ikemefuna was sent to his village as a sacrifice and the other men was suppose to kill him but when one of the guys had cut him he ran to Okonkwo and told him they have killed him and then Okonkwo raised his machete and sliced (Killed) him because he didn't wanna be seen as weak.
