Chilke’s school Day is mainly talking about a African boy who go to school and live in combination society. The society have two different culture and religious(Osu and Igbo). Osu is superior religion in the society because all the believers are mainly white men. Oppositely, Igbo is degrade religion in society because all the believers are mainly Africans. Chilke family is the Igbo believers. Chilke’s father was a while men and Osu religious believers. But, he married Chilke’s mother and birthed Chike. it made Chilke background became different than the other. The different background offer Chilke a special view in the society.

Chike received three names in his baptism, which was John, Chilke and Obiajulu. In the article, Chike mention the meaning in his name. First, John is a typical while men name and lots of while men are still using it right now. Also, Chilke family wish Chilke can easier fit in the while men society with the familiar name. Second, Obiajulu is a typical African name. Being one of Africans, Chilke at least need one original Africa name. Therefore, Chilke family give Chilke one Africa name even they want him to fit in while men society. Obiajulu also mean “The mind at last is at rest”. Chilke family hope him to be brave with the environment and careless about the bias in the society. Because no matter how the people dislike him, his mind will be at rest. Lastly, Chilke is the only name which can represent himself.

In the middle of story, Chiinua Achebe mention that one Osu kid would so inevitable to reject the food from Igbo African. It represent the hostility between two religious. This circumstances is familiar to the early century in British colonial. I believe the hostility will vanish gradually because British finally accepted Africans in the end of the day.
