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.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

This is one of the most famous lines in Shakespeare's work. <em> "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark "</em> refers both to the spiritual and political corruption in Denmark. The new king, Claudius, obtained the throne by murdering his brother. Moreover, he is in incestuous marriage with Gertrude. The king is obviously more concerned with keeping the plot against his brother a secret, than actually ruling the country. Hamlet himself makes a similar remark in Act I, Scene II, comparing his country to a neglected garden: <em>"Tis an unweeded garden." </em>

<em>Today early morning there was a knock at the gate . My mother got up and opened the door She cried with tears of joy. She saw her pet on the gate with a man. Her pet was lost some months ago. The man returned her pet . She was very happy to see her pet. I ran to the door and quickly snatched up the now, full grown puppy. Zeus was his name and that was because of a trident shaped scar on his bottom. For many months before we lost him, he was a rising star on social media. My mother had created a page for him, while I directed him in his videos. After almost 2 million subscribers his last video of when being explained how we had lost him gained over 4 million views. My mom cried and cried after losing him, blaming herself for forgetting to pick him up from a daycare. When the daycare had closed for the day the workers got tired of waiting for mom and placed him outside and then left. I was very angry with my mother for weeks. And didn’t want to see another dog. But now he was back and I can’t wait to make more memories with him. </em>
