Answer:

Chinua Achebe describes Unoka and Okonkwo as ill-fated

Explanation:

In Chapter 3 of Things Fall Apart, Achebe writes:

Unoka was an ill-fated man. He had a bad chi or personal god, and evil fortune followed him to the grave, or rather to his death, for he had no grave. He died of the swelling which was an abomination to the earth goddess...He was carried to the Evil Forest and left to die.

Okonkwo attempts to determine his own fate. Knowing his father was a failure, he works the yam fields twice as hard to compensate. However, Okonwko is also a character in a tragedy, both personal and cultural (both he and his tribe will "fall apart" and die). In tragedies, characters are engineered for a downfall. Obviously, as a character, Okonkwo has no control over his and his tribe's death. Yet, Okonkwo fights to the death, regardless. So, in a way, he chooses his fate by beheading the messenger. He chooses to be placed in a situation which allows him to be aggressive and violent so as to cause his own self-destruction by violent means.

Should the U.S. require half of its government to be female?​
quester [9]

I don't think it should. Whether a person should be apart of government should depend on experience and qualifications, not gender. That can be almost biased in itself because you could be picking someone just for their gender and disregarding another person, despite them actually having more skills for the job.

Write a story which ends with the stetement: Better late than never
vivado [14]

Explanation:

Better late than never tells us that sometimes in life we miss some opportunities, but that does not mean we should never give a try.

Better late than never story

This is a story about an old man who lived in a village. He had two sons and one daughter. They were all well settled in their city life. His children would send him money every month so that he did not have any crisis. They also used to send letters to know about his well being.

Once in a year his sons and daughter would come to pay a visit to him but for the rest of the year his only source of communication was the letters. sometimes he would go to the post master of the village to read the letters for him because he did not know to read and write. The postmaster always used to help the old man reading and writing the letters for him. You may also read: God help those who help themselves

But unfortunately that post master died and a young postmaster got appointed. That young postmaster was a rude person who did not want to help the man. Slowly his way of communication with his children got cut off. He use to remain very upset.

One day the head master of the village school came to him and asked about his disappointment. The old man told him that because of his being illiterate he is facing trouble to get in touch with his children. He described how he never went to school because of his commitments towards his family. After listening to the his problem, the head master gave him a solution that instead of asking help from others he should once again start going to school and read and write.

The old man said everybody would laugh at him at this age studying. The headmaster told is better late than never. So following his advice the man joined the night school and started reading and writing. within few months he started writing letters to his children and getting their answers too. By then he did not have to go to anyone to read the letter. That day he was clear on the proverb that better late than never.
