To the traditional ruler, Aluu-ulu,
DISCARDING OF SHAVING OFF THE HAIR OF A WIDOW
Igweeee! Good day sir.
I write to you with deep pains over the suffering the women in Aluu-ulu community over the years. It has been a custom in our community since I can remember to shave off the hair of widows as a sign of mourning which not only goes against their fundamental human rights but is morally wrong because this shaving is usually done without consent.
I know of a young widow that her hair was shaved against her wishes and because she resisted the evil exercise, she was accused of having a hand in her husband's death and was put through the more barbaric ritual of swearing before an 'oracle' that she was innocent of the charges brought against her. This is a grieving woman that needs all the moral support and encouragement she can get, but no, she was subjected to such sub-human treatment which was totally unacceptable.
Your highness, I strongly believe this custom of shaving the hair of widows in Aluu-ulu community should be stopped and discarded completely.
Yours sincerely,
John Thomas.
Based on the given excerpt above from "Once in a Lifetime" by Jhumpa Lahiri, the part in which it is written using second-person point of view is this: Mainly they were winter items, things you would no longer need in India. When we say second person of view, the author uses pronouns to tell the story of another character. Hope this answer helps.
A woman was considered to be the property of her husband????
Ambivalent: having mixed feelings about something
Incendiary: used or adapted for setting property on fire
Cerebral: betraying or characterized by the use of the intellect rather than intuition or instinct
Culpable: deserving blame or censure
So the answer is Option C).
