Read the selection below from "Civil Peace" by Chinua Achebe and answer the question that follows. Came the day of the windfall

when after five days of endless scuffles in queues and counter-queues in the sun outside the Treasury he had twenty pounds counted into his palms as ex gratia award for the rebel money he had turned in. It was like Christmas for him and for many others like him when the payments began. They called it (since few could manage its proper official name) egg rasher. Which historical fact helps the reader understand the passage best? Nigeria declared independence from the British colonial system on October 1, 1960. After the war, the Nigerian government switched the currency from Biafran money to pounds. The British drew artificial borders in western Africa for commercial reasons. The Biafran War was one of many, though it was the most violent attempt to secede from the main government.

<span>After the war, the Nigerian government switched the currency from Biafran money to pounds. 

This fact is important to understanding the piece because it helps the reader know the reason for the man to have to stand in line just to turn his money in for a type of money that he doesn't understand at all (which is shown by the fact they call it 'egg rashers'). </span>

How did Johnny and Sam get along? in ransom of red chief.
podryga [215]

Answer:

Sam was unaffected by Johnny's imaginations and mischief.

Explanation:

Sam and Johnny, in the book, The ransom of Red Chief were con-men who resorted to all sorts of illegal activities. Johnny was the son of Ebenezer Dorset who was the next target for kidnapping by the con-men. Johnny was not treated well by his father, so when he was kidnapped he saw it as camping which he enjoyed. Bill was emotionally affected by Johnny's mischief even though he was always playing with him. Sam on the other hand was unaffected by Johnny's actions. He accepted matters without allowing them get to him.

Ebenezer Dorset refused paying the ransom and because the duo could not condone Johnny again, they ended up paying 250 dollars to have Johnny returned to his father.

In the book ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, discuss the themes and symbols
andreyandreev [35.5K]

-nature: it is the men's protection and shelter but is also portrayed as a living thing that is being destroyed just like them 

-comradeship: Possibly the most beneficial thing a soldier can have when it comes to survival.  Paul, Kat, and Kropp are very close. At one point Paul uses his friends to help him move forward. "<span>At once a new warmth flows through me. These voices, these few quiet words, these footsteps in the trench behind me recall me at a bound from the terrible loneliness and fear of death by which I had been almost destroyed. They are more to me than life, these voices, they are more than motherliness and more than fear; they are the strongest, most comforting thing there is anywhere: they are the voices of my comrades.(ch. 9. p. 216)
</span>
the horrors of war: constant terror, violence, exposure to diseases, vermin infested living areas, technology designed only to kill with less effort, and death ( almost every character is dead by the end of the story) 

the effects of war: men subject to extreme physical danger and terrifying events which in turn affect their mind. Paul forgets his past and loses his ability to speak to his family.

franz's boots: represent the cheapness of human life. They are passed from soldier to soldier as each one dies. As Kemmerich lays dying Muller is already moving to take them. The war has forced them to value the items over their fallen companions

butterflies: represent nature's beauty. A soldier lets his guard down to admire it because it reminds him of the beauty he used to know and is shot. 

potato cakes: represent sacrifice. Paul's mother and sister are don't have much to eat, but give up some of what they have to Paul if it means he will have a bit of comfort.
