Page 46 Paragraph 1
The wrestling is one of the events that everyone loves to see in Okonkwo's village, it's almost like the Romans all loved to go watch gladiators fight and it's also like how we all love to go see movies or watch TV, it's our entertainment. The villagers lives must have been very repedative so they all must have loved to go watch people fight each other, something new to watch, something fun to do, and if nothing else it gave you time to relax and have fun. Elder people like to watch it because their lives must be pretty dull just sitting around watching things grow and die and seasons change and talking to the same old people. Kids love action and think it's really cool to fight. Middle aged men love to think back and remember when they were young and able to do what the wrestlers are doing. Middle aged women love to remember when their husbands were that young, and for some of them that was the reason they married them. So there is reason for all the villagers to come out and watch the wrestling.
