Answer:

Because it was not an intentional crime.

Explanation:

Ezeudu's son is killed during his own father's funeral. Ogbuefi Ezedu's was a great warrior, and therefore, his funeral is large and very elaborate. During the funeral, the men beat drums and fired their guns. Okonkwo's gun accidentally goes off, and he ends up killing Ezeudu's sixteen-year-old son. Because the gun was fired accidentally, this is considered a "feminine" crime. Moreover, because it is a crime against the earth goddess to kill a clansman, Okonkwo must take his family into exile for seven years.

What qualities are mostly valued on the island in lord of the flies?
inysia [295]
Piggy is the intellectual with poor eyesight, a weight problem, and asthma. He is the most physically vulnerable of all the boys, despite his greater intelligence. Piggy represents the rational world. By frequently quoting his aunt, he also provides the only female voice.

Piggy's intellect benefits the group only through Ralph; he acts as Ralph's advisor. He cannot be the leader himself because he lacks leadership qualities and has no rapport with the other boys. Piggy also relies too heavily on the power of social convention. He believes that holding the conch gives him the right to be heard. He believes that upholding social conventions get results.

As the brainy representative of civilization, Piggy asserts that "Life . . . is scientific." Ever the pragmatist, Piggy complains, "What good're your doing talking like that?" when Ralph brings up the highly charged issue of Simon's death at their hands. Piggy tries to keep life scientific despite the incident, "searching for a formula" to explain the death. He asserts that the assault on Simon was justifiable because Simon asked for it by inexplicably crawling out of the forest into the ring.

Piggy is so intent on preserving some remnant of civilization on the island that he assumes improbably enough that Jack's raiders have attacked Ralph's group so that they can get the conch when of course they have come for fire. Even up to the moment of his death, Piggy's perspective does not shift in response to the reality of their situation. He can't think as others think or value what they value. Because his eminently intellectual approach to life is modeled on the attitudes and rules of the authoritative adult world, he thinks everyone should share his values and attitudes as a matter of course. Speaking of the deaths of Simon and the littlun with the birthmark, he asks "What's grownups goin' to think?" as if he is not so much mourning the boys' deaths as he is mourning the loss of values, ethics, discipline, and decorum that caused those deaths. Hope that helps, sorry it’s long

A symbol is an object, action, or event that represents something or that creates a range of associations beyond itself. In lite
kaheart [24]

Answer:

The chosen symbol is Fire.

Explanation:

Mary Shelley referred to Frankenstein as a modern Prometheus, reinforcing the symbolism associated with fire since the title of the work.

As we know, Prometheus is a character present in Greek mythology and described as responsible for creating the human race and for giving knowledge to fire for humanity, which allowed an evolution in the human race. In her book, Shelley puts Frankenstein as an allusion to Prometheus, causing him to create human life.

In this story, fire represents knowledge and once Frankenstein's creature had access to knowledge, Frankenstein's life and family was completely destroyed by his creature, who, like fire, consumed everything that Frankenstein held. In this case, fire also represents suffering and destruction.

"Frankenstein" is a work full of symbolisms and meanings, which deal directly with the human emotional and its capacity to create and destroy.
