Hi!

I believe the answer is oxymoron , which is a figure of speech used to denote two contradictory words in the same sentence.

For example: " open secret "

Hope it helps and have a wonderful day!

How do the missionary first get the villagers in Mbanta excited about Christianity?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Firstly, how could someone get excited about another saying there god is fake. It just made me giggle a little

Next, it would be the hymns. The bringing together of the community was a huge part of Things Fall Apart. God and stuff is all good and that. But they already had that. They had multiple gods. They had ways of getting around that were reliable for them. But the hymns brought them together like their wrestling tradition, it was a coaxing. A way for the missionaries to "incorporate" their traditions into the Christian way and make Christianity look appealing to the people of Mbanta.

I honestly love this book and all it shows from the perspective of the oppressed and colonized people, who were oppressed in their own country.
