Answer:

The fact that he placed his awards on a triangular scrap suggests that he no longer placed much value on them

Explanation:

Shamengwa is a fiddle (or a violin player) who is partially challenged in one arm. He is described as an old man, a granduncle who has had his fair share of years.

Though he and his music are popular because they are emotive, the narrator states that he is seldom invited to popular jigs. His music was doubled-edged.   It made people happy as much as it made them cry. Because of this, he wasn't wanted at every party. Parties were for dancing and happiness. He had a maverick way of expressing his soul through the violin.

His popularity has earned him a reasonable amount of awards, the kinds that were more Class B in nature. His awards meant little to him. To him, they were relics of the past. He'd rather have his grandniece play with them than have them properly kept or taken care of.

Cheers

In a greek drama, the purpose of the prologue was to
Nesterboy [21]
It was to give the audience pre-existing knowledge about the play that would help with the understanding of the play and its conflicts and often it foreshadows something that is going to happen... for example the begging of Romeo and Juliet when the chorus tells us that there is a feud between the two families and how it was a tragedy of star crossed lovers.
