Answer:

Jonathan's grateful attitude toward his blessings reveals that the Nigerian Civil War was brutal and had adverse effects on the Igbo people, or South Easterners.

Explanation:

The book, "Civil Peace", by Chinua Achebe tells the story of Jonathan Iwegbu, an Igbo man who survived the disastrous civil war. The war was fought between the state of Biafra and the Nigerian government from the year 1967 till 1970. The Biafrans believed that they were marginalized by the Nigerian government, leading to the declaration of the Republic of Biafra in 1967.

The five blessings Jonathan Iwegbu was grateful for include; his family, consisting of his wife and three children out of four, their survival, his bicycle, the fact that his house in Enugu was still standing, as well as the money and belongings he had left. These blessings are rare for most people who experienced war. It also reveals the severity of the war as millions died from the war and did not have as much after the war. Therefore Johnathan's blessings were a cause for rejoicing.

Answer:

Round characters are those characters important for the development of the story, playing a huge part in the plot. They are the opposite of 'flat' characters but may not necessarily be the main characters themselves.

Explanation:

Round characters are the exact opposite of flat/ static characters in a story. While the flat characters have no contribution or use in the development of the story, these 'round' characters play an important role in the progress of the story. They also comprise the most challenging for writers to include, for they are constantly involved in every possible part of the story.

Round characters may not necessarily be the main characters, but they do play a huge role in the characterization of others, the development of the story, and may even help in the characterization of the main characters. They may also influence the main characters, making them improve or even destroy them. They play a major part in the plot or subplot of the story that the writers have to have a variety of character layers to them.
