Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair" by Chinua Achebe. In this conversation, Nnaemeka speaks first, and Nene spe

aks second.
"You have lived in Lagos all your life, and you know very little about people in remote parts of the country.”

"That’s what you always say. But I don’t believe anybody will be so unlike other people that they will be unhappy when their sons are engaged to marry.”

"Yes. They are most unhappy if the engagement is not arranged by them. In our case it’s worse—you are not even an Ibo.”

This was said so seriously and so bluntly that Nene could not find speech immediately. In the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the city it had always seemed to her something of a joke that a person’s tribe could determine whom he married.

At last she said, "You don’t really mean that he will object to your marrying me simply on that account? I had always thought you Ibos were kindly disposed to other people.”

"So we are. But when it comes to marriage, well, it’s not quite so simple. And this,” he added, "is not peculiar to the Ibos. If your father were alive and lived in the heart of Ibibio-land he would be exactly like my father.”

  • It is a way of showing how society behaved in the past.

In the text shown above, we can see that the two characters disagree on how marriages should happen and how people should relate to each other. This is because these two characters grew up in different environments, which had strict social groups. This is a strong feature of society in the past.

Appeal to emotion. He's trying to manipulate people's emotions by saying things like ""deserves the love and thanks" which is very positive. Who wouldn't want to be loved and thanked by others? I think he's trying to say that if you fight, you will be honored.

Appeal to ethics is when the writer tries to convince the reader that he is knowledgeable about the subject like if he said, "As a doctor...." But he doesn't refer to himself in this passage.

Appeal to logic would be using facts, reasoning, evidence, and stuff, but I don't see a lot of facts here.
 
Appeal to authority would be him saying that because another person said something, it must be true. But he doesn't refer to anyone else here.
