The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The historical and cultural context of "Civil Peace" is important to understanding and appreciating the story in that the author wanted to share the suffering, pain and difficult times that Nigerian people lived after the Nigerian Civil War.  Thousands of people, if not more, died during the armed confrontation, leaving a trail of sadness and sorrow.

Chinua Achebe wrote the short story "Civil Peace" in 1971. This story refers to the Nigeria Civil War times, from 1967 to 1970 and the relative civil peace that ensued.

in at least 150 words, discuss the story of orestes and agamemnon. explain the relevance of their story to that of telemachus an
kobusy [5.1K]
Agamemnon was the leader of the Greek troops in the Trojan wars and Orestes was his son. When Agamemno returned from the war, he was murdered by his wife's lover in conjunction with his wife. Orestes could not stop them but he seeked vengeance for his father. After a long time, he found them and avenged his father while killing them. He killed his mother, but Greek mythology claims that his act was just and he was spared the remorse and the guilt. There are a lot of similarities with the Ulysses/Telemachus father son pair. Ulysses was also one of the leaders of the excursion to Troy. He still has not returned home, but in a sense the suitors of Penelope are marring his estate and his reputation. While Penelope is faithful to Ulysses, the suitors by taking hold of the palace and committing their shameful acts are dishonoring Ulysses. In the same context, Telemachus is asked just like Orestes to restitute his father's honor, regardless of whether he is alive or dead. Athena is helping him and encouraging him with this example and he himself feels the need to save his father's honor.

Which of the following sentences contains the best example of figurative language?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

C. Her lips were as red as roses in the spring.

Explanation: Figurative language is phrasing that goes beyond the literal meaning of words to get a message or point across. Clearly, her lips were not red roses, but the author uses figurative language to bring an image into the mind of the reader. Hope this helps!
