In "Things Falls Apart" by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo's father, Unoka, was considered an effeminate coward by the clan's standards. While he had gentler traits and was a talented musician, these traits were not valued in men. Unoka never became a warrior, never took a title, and he was awful with money, "...In his day he was  lazy and improvident and was quite incapable of thinking about tomorrow." This made Okonkwo so ashamed of his father that he does everything as he can to express his masculinity. To show that he was not weak like his father, Okonkwo quickly became an amazing fighter, gained wealthy, and married three wives. "As the elders said, if a child  washed his hands he could eat with kings. Okonkwo had clearly washed his hands and so  he ate with kings and elders."

Some stuff about the Euphrates Rivers
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The Euphrates is the longest and one of the most historically important rivers of Western Asia. Together with the Tigris, it is one of the two defining rivers of Mesopotamia.

Explanation:

The Euphrates is important solely for its water supply. The river is the source of political tension, as Turkey, Syria and Iraq all compete for the use of its waters for irrigation and the generation of hydroelectric power. For centuries the river formed the east limit of Roman control. “There is no water!” The Euphrates is drying up. Strangled by the water policies of Iraq's neighbors, Turkey and Syria; a two-year drought; and years of misuse by Iraq and its farmers, the river is significantly smaller than it was just a few years ago. Some officials worry that it could soon be half of what it is now.

In this excerpt Marcus faces the conflict that his father doesn't agree with him. This type of conflict is called "Man vs. Man" It is the most common type of conflict in a piece of literature, it is also known as interpersonal conflict. In a man vs. man conflict, the protagonist, Marcus, feels something different than another character or the antagonist. This is the type of conflict that Marcus faces.

Hope this helps! :)
