In Things Fall Apart, the arrival of the missionaries best illustrate the struggle between tradition and change.
While many resist the changes the missionaries bring, many like them. The missionaries bring new goods to the village and export village goods, bringing money into the village. This trade, however, has its drawbacks. Meanwhile, conversation between village elders and Mr. Brown allows them to understand one another. Mr. Brown tries to encourage the elders to educate their children, explaining this will bring hope for their futures.
Although many welcome these changes, others -- including Okonkwo -- are resistant. He and a few others do not like this change and even openly resist it. They value their traditions and do not want them altered.
Therefore, of the many themes in the novel, the one represented by the arrival of the missionaries is "the struggle between tradition and change."
The answer to the first question is false and the answer to the second is true
Answer:
C. The narrator feels shame about what happened but still tries to tell the story in a truthful way.
Explanation:
According to a different source, this question refers to the text "The Man in the Well" by Ira Sher. In this story, we learn about a group of children who find a man in a well, but decide not to help him, and instead, they tease him for days. The narrator tells the story as an adult, and he gives us several hints of the fact that he is embarrassed, such as the fact that he will never go close to the well again. Despite this embarrassment, the author succeeds in telling the story in a truthful way.
Part A: C
- The rose is overcoming a difficult situation and thriving.
Part B: C
- This supports the theme because, again, it talks about overcoming difficulties and moving forward.
