Chinua Achebe's well-known novel contains the following major themes:

1. Complexity of the Igbo culture - A. Isa-Ifi ceremony - It is a traditional, final pre-marriage ceremony where the future wife shows her loyalty to her future husband through the promise that she has never been with other men.  

2. Masculinity versus femininity - C. Mother is supreme - The novel discusses the theme of masculinity in varying degrees. We can observe that it mainly in Okonkwo's character. He is masculine and he has his own view of masculinity which includes violence, as well. However, the traditions of his maternal ancestors completely differs from his views.

3. Tradition versus Change - B. Colonialism - In the lights Colonialism it is obvious to find the dilemma between evolution and revolution. People hesitate to accept religious and political changes and the leaders worry about more than that, beyond those measures.  

4. Language as a sign of cultural differences - D. the missionary speaking through an interpreter - Language is a central theme in the novel. It is handled as a beauty of complexity in the example of translation from Igbo to English. The language is a culture and in the translation process the culture loses its true identity. However, the author chose English over the Igbo. It might be the paradoxical metaphor to present the true identity in this kind of style. Regarding the choice, in the novel the people make fun of the translator because of his language and this option is correct for the theme of language.

explain why the author felt "safe" in Manitou. how might her perceptions of this place reflect her native american beliefs
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Linda Hogan claimed she felt safe in Manitou for she believes "the underground movement of water and heat [were] a constant reminder of other life, of what lives beneath us, [and that] seemed to be the center of the world".

This place, to her, felt like the perfect amalgamation of the spatial barrier that the native Americans believe as the world of their ancestors. And in her exclamation of this place as the center of the world, she also shows that she holds a belief in the very belief of the native Americans.

Explanation:

Linda Hogan in her book "Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World" talks about the houses we live in, and how they depend on humans to be deemed living spaces. She talks about her lifelong fascination and love for the world, the earth, where we live, delving into the relationship between the spaces that humans dwell in and the rest of nature.

Hogan stated that <em>"she felt safe in Manitou"</em> due to the fact that it reminded her of the<em> "other life, of what lives beneath us"</em>. She mentioned that <em>"with the underground movement of water and heat [...] it seemed to be the center of the world". </em>

This shows that her deep-rooted belief in the native American belief system is reflected in her own sense of comparison between the two spaces, that of humans and nature. She discusses how both spaces are necessary for the healthy psyche of a person and how interconnected the two are.

Visual images in Romeo and Juliet that helps to bring out the theme of love
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Visual images that help us bring up the theme of love in Romeo and Juliet are for example: The way Romeo refers to Juliet as the sun, or as an angel, when he visits her on his balcony or escapes to be able to see her in secret, the tender kiss he gave to her, or that she claims about the hatred of the two families and is sorry for not being able to be with her loved one.

Explanation:

In literature, the image is used to address the reader directly so that it can "bring to life" the senses, feelings, or anything lived that helps to represent in a particular way what they are reading, in their mind.

Let's see quotes from Romeo and Juliet that make us see the love that they both felt:

  • <em>"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?  </em>

<em>          It is the east, and Juliet is the sun ..."</em>

<em> </em>

  • <em>"O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art </em>

<em>        As glorious to this night, being o’er my head </em>

<em>        As is a winged messenger of heaven </em>

<em>       Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes </em>

<em>       Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him </em>

<em>       When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds </em>

<em>       And sails upon the bosom of the air. "</em>

<em> </em>

  • <em>"My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand </em>

<em>      To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. "</em>

This question is based on the following four sentences. 1. Netta and Jim argued over their views of free trade. 2. Netta and Jim
ElenaW [278]
I find all of the answers pretty neutral (that is, giving only facts, no judgements) except on sentence 3: this is because of the word "sharply".

It seems that the author of this sentence makes a judgement about the split: that they're very split, that their argument was very intense. It seems like a judgement to me more than the other sentences.
