First Reverend Brown comes and they feel a little threatened. Once they realize how nice he is they ease up a bit. They think he is really nice and he even wants to learn about their culture. However, when he falls ill Reverend Smith takes his place. Reverend Smith is a jerk, but since they liked Brown so much they thought they would give him a chance. Smith however doesn't feel the same. He doesn't care about their way of life. When they learn about Christianity they don't understand it. They think it's the weirdest thing ever. They don't get how there can only be one god but three parts to that one god (holy trinity). They think it is stupid that you can't beat your wife and children. Some people, like the osu, like it. The osu like it because in Christianity they will except you no matter what. This way no one feels like an outcast. Some people convert for those reasons and find hope in this new religion. Others, like Okonkwo, think it is obsured. They want to fight but when the person who kills the python gets sick they realize the gods can take care of themselves. Also, they put them in the forest, but even after the regular 28 days nothing happened to them. They found it bizzare. Once things got going it was pretty good between the two. Okonkwo on the other hand is never excepting of the white people. Okonkwo learns a little too late that the main goal is not to get rid of them, this misunderstanding leads to his suicide attempt. All the British want to do is convert them because they think their way of life now is unexceptable. They view them all as savages. This causes a lot of conflict, but never anything too serious like war (against what Okonkwo wanted).
