<u>Answer</u>:

In the short story “Civil Peace,” Jonathan feels optimistic about the changes that the war has inflicted on him and his family.

<u>Explanation</u>:

This short story by Chinua Achebe talks about the after-effects of the Nigerian Civil War. The protagonist Jonathan has a bicycle and his house after the war. He drives a taxi and makes a little amount of income. He comes back to his house with his family and all them pick up jobs to support themselves as well as to repair certain parts of the house. He then runs a bar for soldiers outside his house. He also receives an amount of 20 dollars for turning in rebel currency to the Treasury but that too gets taken away by the robbers who come and ask for money.
