What is the theme of the Nigerian folk tale titled “blaming it on Adam

English
1 answer:
leva [86]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>The theme of the story is that we should not blame others for our lives and choices, especially considering it might turn out we would do the same in their shoes. </u>

Iyapo was blaming his fate on Adam, but once he was given the opportunity for a good life without the survival struggle he also fell under the temptation of curiosity. Just like Adam ate forbidden fruit and lost a chance to stay in the Garden of Eden, Iyapo opened the door King told him not to and lost the chance to stay in the palace as his brother.

<u>It was his own choice and he knew it is forbidden, even though before he blamed Adam for a similar situation.</u>

The story, therefore, talks about how we each make our own choices and that we should answer ourselves for them.

SO THIS IS FOR THAT DUDE LOOKING FOR MY WHOLE ESSAY THIS IS WHAT I SUBMITTED JUST PLZ RESTATE CUS IF U DONT THEY CAN TELL
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: “Yuck” Kate yelled as Mr. Jacks bulldog licked her once again. “Ive told you before we don’t have any more dog food.... or any food”. They had escaped the force field the day (T) before and were only able to take so much food as the supplies were low. They now were in the middle of a field with few trees for shelter. Mr. Jacks and Darby had found a water source (T) earlier that day but it was only an old pond full of mud that only the dog could drink without throwing up. They needed to get food and water and fast if they were to find others and hopefully if they were lucky Kates family.

They walked across the sun lit field for what seemed like ages although only a couple hours had passed. (T) Finally, when the sun stared on its way back towards the ground, they made it to the other side of the field where there was and abandoned looking city. They tried not to get there hopes up but they were unsuccessful and ended up sadly finding out that there were no people here. They searched through some old buildings and what used to be a beautiful garden but found nothing. “Ouch” Mr. Jacks yelled as he stubbed his toe on a pipe. They all looked down and saw that this pipe was from a well! This well supplied them with loads of water that they drank like wild dogs. Sure, they were happy that they found water but they were still left without any food of any sort. With all of them very hungry they found a place for shelter for the night and slept there with a few moth eaten blankets they had found and no pillows. When Kate woke up, she found that Mr. Jacks had already waken and gotten water from the well for her and Darby. Darby complained that there was no food for them to eat. Kate agreed for this was the (T) second day that she had not eaten. Then Darby slowly turned to the bulldog, “why are we lugging this dog around when our stomachs are empty, I say we eat it”. But Mr. Jacks quickly ruled that choice of food out. They decided to keep up their search of both people, food, and Kate's parents. They walked through the old city, the alley ways marked with shadows and a feeling of emptiness. By evening they made it back to more fields on the other side of the city. As it got dark, they started to look for a place to rest for the night. They sank to the ground by a tree excused from the day. (T) As soon as Kate was about to fall asleep Darby whispered, “What's that glow from over there?”. It looked like the glow of a fire and they heard traces of weird sounds coming from that direction.

After some discussion they decided to go check out the fire. As they got close the saw outlines of what looked like 6 people. Suddenly Kate screamed as she stepped on a snake causing the people around the fire to look their way. These were not people at all. They had green and purple skin and tentacles for legs. Their eyes say on antennae's on their heads. They were... Aliens. “Ahhh some food personally delivered” said one of the aliens. “and what is this small one here on four legs” another one said, “an appetizer by the looks of it”. “Wait” cried Darby, “You would eat us?”. “Yes of course, we have nice little cages for you earthlings and just eat you as we wish. You are helpless compared to us.” Said the tallest alien. Mr. Jacks stepped forward and began to discuss with the aliens why they should not eat us and how we are just like them. The aliens were surprised that the humans cared about their lives so much and were sorry for killing and eating the humans. They came to an agreement that they could eat the bulldog as an appetizer and then the aliens would go back to their planet. Kate, Darby, and Mr. Jacks minus the dog when on their way successfully having rescued all the people and set off to find Kates parents.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Mary Jean and Beth <u>volunteered</u> for the past five years at a local shelter for abused pets.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the action/ verb is something that's done in the past. This is identified by the phrase "for the past five years", meaning it is an action that's been done in the past, that happened some years before the present.  Therefore, the verb "volunteer" will be used on the past form "volunteered".

So, the newly revised sentence will become-

Mary Jean and Beth <u>volunteered</u> for the past five years at a local shelter for abused pets.
