The likely connotation of the underlined words might be <em>Nwoye is depressed at the news of Ikemefuna’s death, but he accepts all the custom of his clan.</em>

We can assume this because it seems that although he is sad because of the death, he felt inside like he has to deal with it and carry on, owing to the fact that are traditions that he has to respect. This can be considered as a metaphor when is using the tightened bow.

After spending time with Gulliver, how does the king of Luggnagg come to feel about him?
svet-max [94.6K]
<span>The ruler likes him so much that he needs Gulliver to wed one of his little girls. Gulliver's stopover in Luggnagg is the aftereffect of a bureaucratic mess. He's not permitted to leave the island until the point that he has gotten official authorization to do as such in the wake of meeting with the Luggnaggian King, so Gulliver employs a translator and does only that. This current King's conduct is yet another case of the sort of irregular remorselessness an excess of energy rouses in a man.</span>

Dmitry [639]

Answer:ok its short so try to stretch it

Explanation:

as i foraged through the dark trees and muddy path i saw a house with a door, it was my house. As i walked through the old 90's toys my mother would buy for me i felt a nostalgic feeling run through my chest. I was back home as i walked to the door it was unlocked. maybe mom still lived here maybe she gave the house to pa or my siblings. as i walked through the door it smelled horrible inside i could see our old family pictures and all our things nice and neat i felt cozy and i felt these feelings that made me miss my child hood. i stood in horror to find a mutilated body sitting in my chair. it was my mother. as rat and other pests fed on her flesh i shooed them off as i carried the chair and dug a whole. as i placed the body on the ground i ripped the cloth from the chair and wrapped the body in it and place lots of my mothers clothing from her wardrobe inside to make it look all pretty as i placed her body in the whole i remembered all the amazing times i spent with her and everything my mother did for me
