Okonkwo is gone from the village for seven years. When he returns, he expects that he can pick up where he left off. However, he finds that a lot has changed.
One major change is that the church has increased in power. As a result, the connections among the villagers themselves have weakened. Another major change is that the missionaries have implemented their own laws and government. As a result, their own customs are being left behind.
Okonkwo is shocked to find the power the missionaries have gained while he was gone. He is even more shocked that the villagers have allowed these changes to happen.

Note: I believe there may be a word missing in the thesis or the first sentence of the paragraph, after non-complicated and before in.
