It's to embrace your feelings!
The purpose of the family meeting called by Uchendu is to address pressing issues within the family and to foster unity and communication among its members. It serves as a platform for discussing concerns, sharing perspectives, and making collective decisions that impact the family dynamics. Additionally, Uchendu aims to reinforce family ties and ensure that everyone's voice is heard, promoting a sense of belonging and support.
Uchendu, Okonkwo's uncle, helps support the exiled family by organizing a feast to welcome them and offering them a place to stay. His sons contribute by providing yam seeds and helping with the farming to ensure the family has food to eat during their exile.
Uchendu feels that Okonkwo is ignorant about the meaning of the mother supreme. Uchendu wishes to console Okonkwo, and bring him from his despair so that his family may survive the exile. Further, he wishes Okonkwo to not see the exile to his village as such a punishment, but rather as a safe retreat from his problems. Uchendu realized that Okonkwo did not understand what Mother Supreme truly meant, and was thus still a child. If the father does not know what it means, how can he pass it to his children?
Uchendu uses the folktale of Mother Kite to teach his family about the importance of unity and working together. He emphasizes that when individuals come together as a family and support each other, they can overcome challenges and achieve great things. This story serves as a reminder of the strength found in unity and the power of working as a collective.
Firstly he calls together his sons and daughters and then Okonkwo, his nephew. He then challenges any of them to speak if they think they know more than he does; no one speaks up. Secondly, he asks Okonkwo a question to which he does not know. When Okonkwo says he does not know, Uchendu calls him a child.
Family Meeting was created on 2008-11-25.
The leader of the Mbanta in "Things Fall Apart" is Uchendu, who is Okonkwo's uncle and a wise and respected elder in the community. He provides guidance and wisdom to Okonkwo and his family during their time of exile in Mbanta.
Uchendu calls Okonkwo in for a meeting with him, and uses his authority to subtlely shame Okonkwo for his behaviour. Firstly, he explains the meaning of the motherland, and makes it seem as if going back to the Motherland is not a punishment as much as it is a respite from the evils that plague man. He tells Okonkwo that other men have had greater suffering and that his is not as bad as he makes it out to be. Further, he tells Okonkwo that he must survive to go home so that he does not trap his family in the mother land. He plays on Okonkwo's manly pride to ensure that Okonkwo will behave properly and with spirit.
