Laertes I think I'm not sure
Answer:
In Things Fall Apart and in his later novels, Achebe wanted to counter demeaning and incorrect stereotypes of his people and Eurocentric presentations of the confrontation between the Ibo of Nigeria and the British intruders. In his novels, Achebe admits, he strives for artistic excellence but also wants to give a message. Just as the oral tradition of the Ibo people served their society by sustaining its values, so the modern Ibo, writing in English, should serve Ibo society. *PLEASE WRITE IN YOUR OWN WORDS*!
The author's claim is that media reports on violence and mayhem lead people to think the world is getting worse.

Explanation:
Sojourner Truth (/soʊˈdʒɜːrnər truːθ/; born Isabella "Belle" Baumfree; c. 1797 – November 26, 1883) was an American abolitionist and women's rights activist. Truth was born into slavery in Swartekill, New York, but escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826. After going to court to recover her son in 1828, she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man.
She gave herself the name Sojourner Truth in 1843 after she became convinced that God had called her to leave the city and go into the countryside "testifying the hope that was in her". Her best-known speech was delivered extemporaneously, in 1851, at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. The speech became widely known during the Civil War by the title "Ain't I a Woman?", a variation of the original speech re-written by someone else using a stereotypical Southern dialect, whereas Sojourner Truth was from New York and grew up speaking Dutch as her first language. During the Civil War, Truth helped recruit black troops for the Union Army; after the war, she tried unsuccessfully to secure land grants from the federal government for formerly enslaved people (summarized as the promise of "forty acres and a mule"). She continued to fight on behalf of women and African Americans until her death. As her biographer Nell Irvin Painter wrote, "At a time when most Americans thought of slaves as male and women as white, Truth embodied a fact that still bears repeating: Among the blacks are women; among the women, there are blacks."
A memorial bust of Truth was unveiled in 2009 in Emancipation Hall in the U.S. Capitol Visitor's Center. She is the first African American woman to have a statue in the Capitol building. In 2014, Truth was included in Smithsonian magazine's list of the "100 Most Significant Americans of All Time".

Answer:
Please check my work. This all seems right to me, but I'd check it anyways. I really hope this helps! I put the words in quotes to find them easier.
Explanation:
My uncle told me he had a surprise! It will be
revealed "as soon as" 1 pm.
"Once" I heard about the surprise, I jumped out of bed and got ready for the day.
"Since" I was busy getting ready, I tried to keep guessing what the surprise could be!
We immediately got into the car so we could
arrive at the surprise on time.
We left to drive to the surprise "even though"
we were all packed into the car.
I keep trying to make guesses of what the surprize could be "till" we arrived. Just as we pullout into a large parking lot, I saw a big train! I asked my uncle if we were going on a train ride "Though" he was parking his car "Whereas" he could say anything else. I knew that the surprise was a nice in a cool train. I heard a conductor blow his whistle and holler. "All aboard!" We ran to make sure we hopped onto the train
before it left "Although" we did not have running shoes on. We had a wonderful time and meet many fun people.
