Other essays and articles in the Literature Archives related to this topic include : Women, Colonization& Cultural Change in “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe • Comparison of Tragic Characters in Things Fall Apart and Oedipus the King • Comparison Essay on Things Fall Apart and My Antonia

The

novel “Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, while often thought to

offer readers an accurate portrait of Igbo or African culture in

general, often does not effectively represent the culture it seeks to

portray. More generally, one of the challenges of the fiction genre, and

of the frequent criticisms lodged against it, is the manner in which

history, people, and place are integrated into the narrative. Writing a

fictive narrative that is based on real people, places, and events poses

some inherent dangers, not the least of which is the possibility of

inaccurate or partial representation of Igbo culture.

This is particularly true for novelists who are writing about

non-Western cultures for Western audiences. Such is the case in “Things

Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, in which the author writes about members

of a Nigerian tribe.

Answer:

3. No, it is incorrect; the context explains that Sadie is struggling to "become accustomed to her new situation.

Explanation:

The term "acclimate" means struggling to adapt to a new environment or conditions. It is used for situational change.

So, when Ramira thought the word meant "move", her understanding is completely wrong. The context in which the word "acclimate" is used in the passage is to explain Sadie's struggle to be familiar and adapt to the colder climate whereas Ramira's understanding is completely off.

So, the correct answer is option 3.

Make inferences and draw conclusions about the author's purpose in the novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Smith wrote A Tree Grows in Brooklyn to inform others about what it was like growing up in a small neighborhood in Brooklyn in the early 1900s. In one chapter, she recalls "with a peculiar tenderness" how Brooklynites celebrated Thanksgiving (Smith 1). Smith's use of cultural terminology, such as "ragamuffin" or "slamming gates," helps the reader better understand the language used by children in the Williamsburg neighborhood at that point in history. Her detailed description of the children's selection of costumes reveals the popular culture of the time and tensions between the poor and rich of the town (1). Smith dwells not only on the cultural details of early Brooklyn, but she also describes emotional experiences of growing up poor. Although the children in Francie's classroom are hungry, they are "too proud to accept charitable food. . . . ," even when that food is about to be thrown away (3). For these children, dignity is more important than satisfying hunger pangs. Smith's careful attention to cultural, historical, and emotional details informs the reader of what it was like to grow up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in the early 1900s.

in "the open boat" stephen crane shows that man projects his own fears on nature, while nature remains indifferent. Which two pa
vlada-n [284]

Excerpt:

Canton flannel gulls flew near and far. Sometimes they sat down on the sea, near patches of brown seaweed that rolled on the waves with a movement like carpets on a line in a gale. The birds sat comfortably in groups, and they were envied by some in the dingey, for the wrath of the sea was no more to them than it was to a covey of prairie chickens a thousand miles inland. Often they came very close and stared at the men with black bead-like eyes. At these times they were uncanny and sinister in their unblinking scrutiny, and the men hooted angrily at them, telling them to be gone. One came, and evidently decided to alight on the top of the captain's head. The bird flew parallel to the boat and did not circle, but made short sidelong jumps in the air in chicken-fashion. His black eyes were wistfully fixed upon the captain's head. "Ugly brute," said the oiler to the bird. "You look as if you were made with a jack-knife." The cook and the correspondent swore darkly at the creature. The captain naturally wished to knock it away with the end of the heavy painter; but he did not dare do it, because anything resembling an emphatic gesture would have capsized this freighted boat, and so with his open hand, the captain gently and carefully waved the gull away. After it had been discouraged from the pursuit the captain breathed easier on account of his hair, and others breathed easier because the bird struck their minds at this time as being somehow grewsome and ominous.


There are some important lines that illustrate the theme "the man projects his own fears on nature while nature remains indifferent".  

I'm going to give you two of them:

1. In the very first line, it says "At these times they were <em><u>uncanny and sinister</u></em> in their unblinking scrutiny, and the men hooted angrily at them, telling them to be gone." In these lines the birds are doing nothing but staring at the men, nevertheless, the men think and feel the birds are "uncanny and sinister." This shows how the men are projecting their own fears on indifferent birds.

2. "After it had been discouraged from the pursuit the captain breathed easier on account of his hair, and others breathed easier because the bird struck their minds at this time as being somehow grewsome and ominous." In these lines the birds hit the men and the reason they give for this to happen is because the birds are, again, "grewsome and ominous." They are sure that birds are attracting some kind of evil. These lines demonstrate again how men project their own fears on birds, birds that do not even think of men as threats, food or any other way.
