Answer:
In Umuofia, the Christians are led by a kindly white man named Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown restrains the zeal of some of the fanatical converts. A convert named Enoch is particularly violent, always stirring up trouble; Brown strives to moderate Enoch's excesses. Mr. Brown is a wise and patient man; he befriends many of the local great men, and earns their affection. He spends a good deal of time with Akunna; they speak through an interpreter on the subject of religion. Neither man converts the other, but Mr. Brown learns much about the local religion and concludes that missionary work should be subtle and indirect: direct confrontation will not work. He also tries hard to get people to send their children to the Christian school. At first, people only send their lazy children. But more and more people begin to go as they realize that the ability to read and write opens up great social mobility. The DC is surrounded by Africans from Umaru; these literate subordinates earn high wages and how power in Umuofia. Mr. Brown's school begins to produce results.

In order to discover the theme of a magical realist story, the reader can analyze the recurring topics/issues characters talk about/struggle with.
An example of it can be found in Gabriel García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera", which is a work of magical realism. The main character experiences unrequited love and never gives up. Throughout the whole book, the poor man keeps hoping his beloved one will some day give in to his advances. We can say the theme of this magical realist story is the invincible power of true love.
Another work by García Márquez (his most famous one), "100 years of Solitude", revolves around the Buendías, a family who lives in the fictional municipality of Macondo. It is another work of pure magical realism, since there is the rain that lasts for many years and also the woman who lives to be much more than 100 (really much more). It shows successive generations of the same family and also how certain characteristics can be inherited. The theme here is that of the relevance of kinship.
