Short Answer
1. Odenigbo explains that since his mother is from a small bush village, she feels threatened by an educated woman and refers to Olanna as a witch because this is her only way of understanding their relationship. (Chapter 5)
2. During the dinner conversation, Richard expresses amazement over the complexity of ancient Igbo-Ukwu pots. Okeoma replies, “You sound surprised, as if you never imagined these people capable of such things.” For the first time, he feels they judged him for being a Westerner. Shortly after, he says goodbye and feels like Odenigbo will not miss him. He feels disheartened because he genuinely is amazed by the Igbo-Ukwu culture and wants to be accepted, just like he respects his friends for who they are. (Chapter 6)
