This flashback occurs after the boys stop in Kabati and see survivors fleeing from Mogbewmo. Beah chose to provide this flashback because of the fact that it gives the reader a little historical background and also provides for the story the comparison between civil war and independence. 
<span>System Answer: Beah provides this flashback to his father's words after he, Junior, and Talloi give up their attempts to head back to Mogbwemo. From the verandah of their grandmother's abandoned home, they had witnessed victims from the rebel attack pass. The boys give up hope on Mogbwemo and head back to Mattru Jong. At this moment, Beah chooses to reflect on his father's words. Based on the information provided in the flashback, I think Beah is doing two things: he's both informing the audience of a bit of Sierra Leone's history as well as asking the readers to reflect on why this war was happening. There are some, according to Beah, that believed the civil war was one of revolution. Yet, the actions of the revolutionaries, which Beah had just witnessed, were awful, violent, and senseless. All that was left, in Beah's words, is fear—a fear that didn't have any answers, justice, or rationale for its victims.</span>

Question 1:

Humorous passage 1: "It (the umbrella) was made to be carried on the arm like an enormous ornamental bat and to allow one the opportunity to put on British airs as the atmospheric conditions demanded."

Humorous passage 2: "(The umbrella is) An item to be carried in the street, to be used to startle friends and—in the worst of cases—to fend off one’s creditors."

Question 2:

Passage 1 is funny because it compares the umbrella to an ornamental bat, which sounds weird in the first place. Plus, the umbrellas is said to be used by people who want to seem British, which is even more outrageously funny.

Passage 2 is funny because it treats the umbrella as a scary object which can be used even to fend off people you owe money to, which is absurd.

In both passages, the author uses tone and voice in a very witty way: he speaks seriously about absurdity, about unimaginable stuff. It is like an encyclopedia of weird and fun facts. That is what makes it funny: the contrast between a serious tone and larger than life images.

Create a poem that reflects the elements of Romanticism. Your poem must be 10 - 15 lines long.
Grace [21]
This is probably going to be more than 15 lines but...here goes nothing

As I lay on my sunken bed
I hear his voice inside my head
Thinking I should have stayed
This tune I hear repeating in my head
I can’t go back, come here instead
He’s not here, he’s gone back home
The love he’d shown was not for me. And I moved on
My sister was jealous, telling me lies
I knew something was going on , it brought tears to my eyes
As I lay on my sunken bed
—-finish the rest I know it sounds soo bad. ‍♀️ sorry I tried though

Read the passage.
Andru [333]

Answer:

The allusion in this passage and its interpretation is "Thousands are ushered into the world"; although some slaves have white fathers, they are still lineal descendants of Ham and should remain slaves.

Explanation:

This allusion makes reference to the biblical curse over Ca'naan, where it says "And he said, Cursed be Ca'naan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren." this says that generation after generation the sons are cursed to be under the demands of their "owners" due to the lack of respect of Ca'naan towards his father.
