"It is a gold coin dropped

down a drain in Heaven"

The comparison means that it's sort of like a golden coin that someone had dropped down a sink drain on an accident, but someone dropped it down the drain in heaven and it has now landed in the sky of the Earth.

I think the author chose to make this comparison because the sun is yellow and it is sort of a golden color and it is sort of common for things to be dropped down the drain. Therefore, it is like a golden coin going down the drain of heaven and into the sky.

Luden [163]

The above question wants to analyze your writing ability through a letter. For that reason, it is not right for me to write this letter to you, but I will show you how to write it.

First, you should know that a letter of complaint must be confidently written, yet polite. Complaints should be made clearly and calmly, without offending or mistreating anyone, just explaining what happened.

Also, it is important to keep the language more formal, as this letter will be read by people you are not familiar with.

After that, you can write the letter as follows:

  • Start with a greeting, which can be "To whom It May Concern," or "Dear Mr./Mrs ____" if you know the name of the person who will read your letter.
  • Introduce yourself and say why you are writing the letter.
  • Present your complaint, politely and calmly.
  • Show the need for some action to be taken.
  • Say goodbye cordially.

sashaice [31]

Writing as an African who had been "Europeanized," Achebe wrote Things Fall Apart as "an act of atonement with [his] past, the ritual return and homage of a prodigal son." By his own act, he encourages other Africans, especially ones with Western educations, to realize that they may misperceive their native culture.
