Why did the author write when things fall apart in english

English
1 answer:
Klio2033 [76]3 years ago
3 0

Chinua Achebe, the author of "Things Fall Apart" (1959) in English in order to reach a greater audience, especially the English audience who were the colonial rulers of Nigeria, his homeland. With his book, he tried to write African literature and portray the history of his nation in a different way, from an African point of view but in English for Europeans to understand it. Writing this story in English was sort of writing back at the center of the British Empire, contesting the previous books of African themes but writen from a white perspective, like Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness".

On the other hand, it showed that Africans were not the backward people that European stereotypes portrayed. They had their own culture and histories and they could express them in English for the European colonizers to understand.

In the following sentence, what are the two common nouns?
Harman [31]
The correct answer is A. lunches and river.
A common noun is concrete - it refers to something you can touch, feel, something that surrounds you; words such as desk, mirror, rug, are all common nouns. 
B is incorrect because those are proper nouns, meaning they refer to the names of people or places. C is incorrect because eat is a verb, and side is an abstract noun. D is incorrect because both words are verbs.

Gym class heroes/Robert burns compare and contrast
zhannawk [14.2K]

I searched the poem and song lyric and after reading both, Stereo Hear by Gym Class Heroes and A red, Red Rose by Robert Burns, I can compare and contrast this way:

COMPARING

• Both authors use the exaggeration technique to make emphasis on the intensity of their love.

• Both apply a combination of metaphor and simile in their lines.

• Both main characters of the song and poem are men talking to the woman they are in love with.

• Both are focusing on only one woman and not love in general.

CONTRASTING

• Stereo heart compares his heart to a stereo, explaining the way he loves and how nature it is while the Poem, A red red rose describes how he will love his lady till the end.

• Robert Burns in the poem is revealing/saying something to his lady while in the song, the author is mostly asking questions about what the woman will do.

Harrizon [31]

The main character is the girl ( the salesman could be considered one too but since you said character not characters its most probs the girl). The story takes place mostly at the store since thats her destination, the place where she forgot the money, and the place that had sympathy on her when she did (basically where all the events took place). Finally, the information that makes the readers want to continue reading is perhaps the fact that she will pay the store back  which sort of already develops a plot for the next bit.
