Why does okonkwo think of Ndulue as a strong man?
Nwoye begins emulating Ikemefuna, and outwardly showing stereotypical masculine qualities, like grumbling about women and their troubles, feigning annoyance, and pretending he no longer cared for stories his mother and other women told. He was sent to do more difficult masculine tasks like splitting wood, and pounding food. Nwoye also began listening more to his father's stories, including those of wrestling and war.

What do you think his first day with Okonkwo would be like for Ikemefuna?
The day that Ikemefuna is taken by Okonkwo, it would seem as if he is being taken (with the consent of his tribe), away from his family to a foreign land by a huge warrior. Okonkwo is a strong silent type with a stern face, so I doubt much would be said between them.

Why do you think a cold shiver ran down okonkwo's back as he remembered the last time the old man Ezeudu visited him?
Okonkwo likely shivered because the last time Ezeudu visited him, he predicted that Okonkwo would have a severe loss, which was later confirmed when Okonkwo's gun exploded, accidentally killing Ezeudu's son. This memory would have triggered fear and anxiety in Okonkwo, as it reminded him of his impending misfortune.

What is okonkwo's conflict with his tribe?
Okonkwo is a direct person and prefers direct approaches to problems, whereas the villages are more cautious in general. This causes conflict when dealing with the Christians and the Europeans. Another conflict is caused by Okonkwo's arrogance and demeanour, which causes him to think himself superior to other villagers. As a result, some villagers are resentful towards him, are insulted by Okonkwo, or are drawn into fights with him. Okonkwo causes further conflict by breaking the week of peace, when he releases his pent-up state by beating his wife. Further conflict is caused by his need to appear emotionless and manly, causing many villagers to think that he is not truly repenting his sin.

Why do you think Okonkwo is so reluctant to show anyone including Ikemefuna and Nwoye any noticeable affection?
Okonkwo's reluctance to show affection is due to his belief that showing emotion is a sign of weakness. He has been ingrained with the idea that masculinity is associated with being strong and powerful, so he refrains from displaying any signs of vulnerability, even towards his own family. This is also influenced by his fear of being like his father, who he views as weak.
