Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair" by Chinua Achebe. The first paragraph is a letter that Okeke sends to his s

on Nnaemeka.
I have found a girl who will suit you admirably—Ugoye Nweke, the eldest daughter of our neighbour, Jacob Nweke. She has a proper Christian upbringing. When she stopped schooling some years ago, her father (a man of sound judgment) sent her to live in the house of a pastor where she has received all the training a wife could need. Her Sunday School teacher has told me that she reads her Bible very fluently. I hope we shall begin negotiations when you come home in December.

On the second evening of his return from Lagos Nnaemeka sat with his father under a cassia tree. This was the old man’s retreat where he went to read his Bible when the parching December sun had set and a fresh, reviving wind blew on the leaves.

Which idea from this passage can be analyzed from both feminist and historical perspectives?

how a woman could be considered "proper" in this culture during this period
how fathers and sons interact in this culture during this period
how children return to their hometowns to negotiate marriages during this period
how weather conditions affect this culture during this period

The idea from this passage that can be analyzed from both feminist and historical perspectives is this:

  • How a woman could be considered "proper" in this culture during this period.
<h3 /><h3>What is feminism?</h3>

Feminism is an ideology that holds that women in a society should have equal rights with their male counterparts. From this text, we can see that a woman in the cultural period shown had to attain some level to be considered proper. This is not in tandem with the precepts of feminism. So, option A is correct.

The idea that is expressed in this text is quite similar to those found in patriarchal settings. A typical African society is described in this text and the expectations from women are clearly represented here. Ugoye Nweke is the admirable girl whom the speaker believes has been brought with the Christian doctrines and thus possesses the right qualities of a wife.

attashe74 [19]

While, 'the flower <em>bloomed</em> earlier than expected' shows the flower acting the verb, rather than the verb acting on it, thus making putting it in the active voice.

ch4aika [34]
His satire is aimed at the "hypocrisy" of making an adventure appear more glorious than it was. He is trying to say that there is nothing glorious about war, there is only death and suffering, and it is definitely not a pretty sight.
