Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair" by Chinua Achebe. In this excerpt, Nnaemeka is the first to speak, and Okek

e speaks after him.
"I can’t—we must—I mean it is impossible for me to marry Nweke’s daughter.”

"Impossible? Why?” asked his father.

"I don’t love her.”

"Nobody said you did. Why should you?” he asked.

"Marriage today is different . . .”

"Look here, my son,” interrupted his father, "nothing is different. What one looks for in a wife are a good character and a Christian background.”

Nnaemeka saw there was no hope along the present line of argument.

How could the characters’ differing views of arranged marriage be analyzed from a historical perspective and from a feminist perspective?

A historical perspective would focus on arranged marriage being part of the culture at the time the story is set. A feminist perspective would focus on how arranged marriages took choice away from women.
A feminist perspective would focus on arranged marriage being part of the culture at the time the author wrote. A historical perspective would focus on how arranged marriages took choice away from women.
A historical perspective would focus on how the story would be different if it were written by an author of a different gender. A feminist perspective would focus on how the characters interact.
A feminist perspective would focus on the biography of the author. A historical perspective would focus on the power dynamics between characters.

The correct answer is A.

Historical perspectives take a look at the story's historical culture. Therefore, a historical perspective would focus on arranged marriage being part of the culture at the time the story is set. A historical perspective would not focus on the impact on women, the gender of the author, or power dynamics between characters.

Feminist perspectives analyze how the events (or characters) impact the women in the story. Therefore, a feminist perspective would focus on how arranged marriages took choice away from women. A feminist perspective would not focus on the culture as a whole (only its impact on women), and it would not focus on how the characters interact (although it would focus on how the characters impact women in the story). A feminist perspective would not focus on the author's biography at all.

For these reasons, the correct answer is the first one.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The way of positioning poetry as a form of popular education is something that stands out for me in this lecture. This is because it puts poetry, and literature in general, as an influencing and transforming factor in society, since that can stimulate concepts and reflection on problems of a political, social and economic nature.

2. I believe that Langston Hughes' poetry has a strong political and, in a way, democratic and social content, while placing African-Americans within this scenario, to which we are all part.

3. We must stand on our own shoulders and take our responsibility for ourselves and for the defense of democracy and the oversight of politics in our country, since we are responsible citizens for our nation. We must position ourselves and maintain what we represent, within society.

What is stipulative definition
SashulF [63]

Answer: A simulative definition is a type of definition in which a new or currently-existing term is given a new specific meaning for the purposes of argument or discussion in a given context. When the term already exists, this definition may, but does not necessarily, contradict the dictionary definition of the term. Because of this, a simulative

definition cannot be "correct" or "incorrect"; it can only differ from other definitions, but it can be useful for its intended purpose.
