In Things Fall Apart, what is the summary of chapters 7 and 8?

Chapter 7 begins with a description of how well Ikemefuna
has settled in to Okonkwo's household, and in particular what a good influence he is
being on Nwoye. Both boys listen to the stories fo Okonkwo about violence and war
instead of Nwoye's mother's stories, which are about animals and their religion. Nwoye
wants to gain his father's approval and so pretends he does not like these
stories.

Oguefi Ezeudu, who is the oldest man in the
village, tells Okonkwo that Ikemefuna needs to be killed because the Oracle of Hills and
Caves has pronounced the boy's death. Ezeudu also says to Okonkwo that he wants him to
have nothing to do with the boy's death, as Ikemefuna calls Okonkwo father. When the
elders gather to collect Ikemefuna, Okonkwo tells him he is going to go home. Ikemefuna
is very confused because his home is now in Okonkwo's household. The group travels into
the forest. Ikemefuna feels uneasy at first, but takes confidence in the fact that
Okonkwo walks behind him. However, when one of the men growls at Ikemefuna, he becomes
afraid, especially because Okonkwo goes to the back of the men. Okonkwo hears the blow
of the machete and Ikemefuna running towards him, shouting "My father, they have killed
me!" Okonkwo then draws his own machete and kills
Ikemefuna.

Nwoye senses that Ikemefuna has been killed and
is impacted as a result. When Okonkwo returns from having killed Ikemefuna, a deep chill
overcomes Nwoye.

In Chapter Eight, Okonkwo does not eat for
two days after this event and is haunted by Ikemefuna. He visits his fried Obierika and
asks him why he refused to kill Ikemefuna. Obierika replies that the Oracle did not ask
him specifically to kill Ikemefuna and says that if he had been Okonkwo, he would have
stayed at home, as what Okonkwo did will have displeased the Earth
goddess.

News is brought of the death of Obguefi Ndulue,
the oldest man in Ire. Ozoemena, his first wife, died on the same day, which is thought
to be strange, as they were said to have had one mind. Okonkwo does not understand why
such a strong man should enjoy such a close relationship with his
wife.

Then Ibe arrives with his father and uncle because he
wants to marry Obierika's daughter, Akueke. The men negotiate the bride price and then
food and palm wine is served. As the men eat and drink they talk abotu their neighbours
and criticise their customs. Obierika mentions stories he has heard of white men, the
colour of chalk, but people don't believe him.
