The correct answer is "protagonist".

A protagonist is the leading character of a drama production or literary work. All things that happen in the story are either directly or indirectly related to this character.

In "Things Fall Apart", Okonkwo is a warrior and chief of the Umuofia Clan in Nigeria. The story focuses on him, initially mentioning his origins, as the novel tells about his personal story and describes his family. It afterward centers on the experiences he goes through as chief of the Umuofia Clan.

Is the destruction of public property, such as statues, ever justifiable? Why/why not?
Arisa [49]

Hope this is sort of what you were going for! :)

The destruction of any public property, be it statues or historical buildings, is completely unjustifiable. Not only does destroying these artifacts not benefit anyone, but it hurts countless people. From public workers, who'd have to either rebuild or clean up the destroyed property, to people with connections to the monuments having to deal with the losses, no one is benefited by blatant acts of destruction such as these. And, arguably, not even those who commit them.

Answer:

Hey there! The answer is metaphor.

Explanation:

Similes always use the words like or as. For example, You were AS strong AS a ox. Metaphors never use these words. Like or as were not used in this sentence, so we know that the answer is metaphor.
