Answer:

Okonkwo's effort to follow the priestess shows his soft side and concern for family and love for his favorite wife Ekwefi.

Explanation:

From the novel Things Fall Apart by China Achebe, the main character Okonkwo is a successful farmer and hunter who is also renowned for his wrestling prowess.

He has a different view of masculinity, one in which he feels that there are some activities that are more 'manly' than others like hunting, wrestling and a general show of strength. Activities like farming, preferring female company over males, crying and showing excess concern is considered weak to the great warrior Okonkwo.

One of his favorite wives Ekwefi after many years of childlessness finally gave birth to an ogbanje girl --one who dies after a while and keeps reincarnation to torment the parents -- Ezinma.

After series of deaths and réincarnations, Okonkwo had to seek the help of Chielo, the priestess to find where Ezinma kept her hidden object of reincarnation so she won't torment her parents again.

Okonkwo, contrary to his 'masculinity' shows great concern and follows the priestess to ensure that this time Ezinma stays with them.

Read the excerpt from Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms.
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

What exemplifies these men as heroes, as described by Hemingway, is:

D. They act casually and go about regular business, such as smoking, while actually in grave danger.

Explanation:

"A Farewell to Arms" is a novel by author Ernest Hemingway narrated from a first-person perspective. The narrator is Frederic Henry, an American lieutenant who is serving in Italy during the first World War.

This particular excerpt shows how the men are able to keep a cool head even though they know an attack is about to happen. That is what distinguishes heroes from those they protect. While regular people would feel nervous or scared, would run away to escape danger, heroes are able to remain calm. To show that, Hemingway describes how easily they go about regular business, such as smoking, as if danger is not lurking.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

-The motive is played loudly.

-The motive is played a bit more slowly.

Explanation: The third section of sonata-allegro form is an organized structure based on contrasting musical ideas. The sonata-allegro is classified into three sections namely:

- Exposition

- Development

- Recapitulation

It sometimes includes an optional coda at the end.

In the exposition; the main melodic ideas, or themes, are introduced.

The recapitulation deals successfully with the two original themes by placing them both in the tonic key, which is the main tonal center of the piece and almost always the key in which the piece begins and ends.
