Why do you think the author chooses the term "Civil Peace" as the story's title? Explain your

English

The story "Civil Peace" by Chinua Achebe follows a character called Jonathan Iwegbu in the aftermath of the Nigerian Civil War. The civil war was extremely disruptive and destructive, and Jonathan has lost almost everything he had. However, the aftermath of the war is not much better. Violence, crime and suffering are still rampant, and it is obvious that things will not be back to normal for a very long time.

The title "Civil Peace" is therefore used in an ironic sense. Achebe wants us to remember that, even though technically peace has been restored, the situation is still far from normal. Moreover, the violence that was common during the war is not gone, and things are still not much better for common people like Jonathan Iwegbu.

The words "Time and his brother Care had set some marks" (lines 8-9)
Vanyuwa [196]

Unclear question, but I infer you are referring to a passage that isn't mentioned.

Answer:

e. Personification

Explanation:

Based on the context which referred to abstract objects; time and care, the author seems to be personifying 'Time'.

Note that Personification is a type of figure of speech that attributes or refers to something that is not a person as though it were.

One common example is "Have you seen my car? Isn't she beautiful?". We noticed the car is spoken as though it were a person.

Giver
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Prompt 1: The society in the Giver, is structured in such a way that promotes security over freedom. The people have no choices or freedom of any kind, yet they don't need to worry about getting enough resources, or basic survival needs because everything is planned out by the government.

Prompt 2: I would say that the attitude toward euthanasia is mostly accepted because that is what is written into the society, and part of your planned out life. However, I think you would need to go back to the text and pay attention to the tone and word choices around that subject.

Before the Civil War, the cotton plantations of the ___ South depended on British textile companies for their markets.
never [62]
The answer would most likely be (D) Primordial. 

However, (C) Avant-garde, is completely legit too I suppose.

Personally I would choose (D) as my answer as it seems to make the most sense.
