Who is the speaker of the poem the parrot in the cage? why does he call himself a twice born child​

English
1 answer:
zmey [24]3 years ago

Answer:

A)

On superficial structure level the speaker of the poem " The Parrot in the Cage" is parrot himself. On deep structure level, it is the poet himself  or any modern day human being.

B)

The parrot calls himself twice born because he has seen two completely different lives. He was born free, first in the forest, and he was born caged second time.

Explanation:

On deep structure level the poet is talking about himself or any modern day human being who is caged by his social duties to work and earn more and more. Man has to do things which he does not like, to perform even when he/she is tired.

Two different lives of the caged parrot are before and after being caught in the cage. One when he was totally free in the forests, could eat, drink, chatter, fly and do whatever and whenever he liked. The other life started when he was caged and now can not fly, can not drink cool waters from rivers, can not enjoy fresh and delicious fruits hanging on the forest trees.

These two lives of parrot can also be compared with man's life when he was a child and was free, and as an adult he has been caged by social duties and bound to please his master/boss.

Similarly, we can interpret these two lives as the lives of human beings in old times and in modern times. In old times human being were mostly free and did whatever pleased them, but in modern times, human beings have to work too much to earn more and more to please the society. Man is not man anymore, he has become a machine.

How do the missionary first get the villagers in Mbanta excited about Christianity?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Firstly, how could someone get excited about another saying there god is fake. It just made me giggle a little

Next, it would be the hymns. The bringing together of the community was a huge part of Things Fall Apart. God and stuff is all good and that. But they already had that. They had multiple gods. They had ways of getting around that were reliable for them. But the hymns brought them together like their wrestling tradition, it was a coaxing. A way for the missionaries to "incorporate" their traditions into the Christian way and make Christianity look appealing to the people of Mbanta.

I honestly love this book and all it shows from the perspective of the oppressed and colonized people, who were oppressed in their own country.

Which of the following is not a quality of a productive discussion?A.Proposing a claimB.Mutual agreementC.Simple yes/no question
USPshnik [31]

Answer:The answer is (c)

Simple yes/no question s is not a quality of a productive discussion.

Explanation:Productive discussion is one which motivates the students and create opportunities for them to participate ,practice and sharpen their various skills.Large number of factors are taken into consideration while planning a discussion .But simple yes/no question cannot make our discussion productive.We can start a discussion with yes/no questions only if any particular question has follow question that requires explanation.

Otherwise simple yes /no question will become discussion stopper.it will badly influence the discussion.It makes the discussion monotonous.Listeners loose their interest.

Discussion provides an opportunity to students to explore new things.A detailed discussion will enable students to clear their doubts and get answers for their queries ,but if we limit our discussion to simple yes/no question then it will limit the ability of students to learn anything new from that discussion.Their knowledge will remain stable and it will not enhance .There will be no benefit of that discussion.
