One theme from Things Fall Apart is the complexity of Igbo society before the arrival of the Europeans. To assist this theme, Achebe incorporated the detailed explanations of the trial process and justice codes, family rituals, marriage customs, preparation processes of food and its production, divided leadership for the community, belief in religion and its practices, and the chances give to every man to be able to climb the clan’s ladder of triumph by his own doing.
Answer:
The most significant source forA Midsummer Night’s Dream is Roman poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses, an epic poem that weaves together many Greek and Roman myths. Shakespeare alludes to many of the stories from Metamorphoses, but the story with the most obvious importance for his play is that of Pyramus and Thisbe. Originally appearing in Book IV of Ovid’s poem, this story tells of two lovers who long to marry against their parents’ wishes and who come to a tragic end in the attempt to do so. Shakespeare adapts this story for Midsummer’s play-within-a-play, performed in the final act by a group of craftsmen. The theatrical ineptitude of this troupe undermines the seriousness of their subject matter. What results is an ironically comedic performance that delights rather than saddens the audience of Athenian nobles. Perhaps the most ironic aspect of the craftsmen’s retelling is just how un-Ovidian their play is, and how this un-Ovidian spirit contrasts with the very Ovidian nature of the rest of Midsummer. Whereas the main storyline of Midsummer involves an engaging series of transformations and supernatural beings, the craftsmen’s production offers a dull, bare-bones retelling.
Significantly, the craftsmen’s production of “Pyramus and Thisbe” also parallels the main plot of Shakespeare’s play. Just as Theseus bans Hermia from marrying Lysander, so too do the fathers of Pyramus and Thisbe ban their union. Furthermore, just as Lysander and Hermia flee Athens and its harsh laws, so too do Pyramus and Thisbe flee Babylon to safeguard their love. One obvious difference between Midsummer and the story of Pyramus and Thisbe is that the former is a comedy and the latter is a tragedy. Nevertheless, Shakespeare manages to play comedy and tragedy against each other in such a way that draws the two stories into a mirrored relationship. Thus, just as the craftsmen set out to perform a tragedy but end up in the midst of a comedy, so too does the main story of Midsummer begin with the threat of tragedy (i.e., unhappy marriage or death) but ends with all of the lovers alive and in their preferred pairings.
Answer:
Yesterday, my little sisters challenged me to a game of Scrabble. Usually, I avoid playing games with them because they're terrible cheaters. But pleading wore me down, and it was raining, so I agreed. We set up the board on the dining room table, removing Princess, the cat that likes to sleep . Then we picked our tiles. There are only two blank tiles, and I got them both! Things were looking good. The girls obviously didn’t like tiles: They kept trying to sneak their hands into the tile bag for new ones. There is not much else to say about the game, except that it went on and on and on. When it finally ended, I was more than ready to get out of there. The score? Lisa: 311. Janet: 296. Me: 64. Ugh. My sisters, of course, had a great time. already begging me to play

1. Here I still sit in disbelief
As my beloved sister forever falls asleep
Perhaps if she had only moved a second before
She would never have knocked on Death's door.
President Snow witnessed the explosions from his mansion up above
Chuckling to himself as he watches the innocent bleed out their lives
The sent of roses and blood is overpowering
It takes all I have not to run away cowering.
I am the Mockingjay, I must be strong
I need to avenge the ones I love
"Goodbye, my sweet Prim," I whisper to my dear sister.
Rising to my feet I fit an arrow to my bow
I will be the one who kills Snow.
