Okonkwo is the guardian of Ikemefuna, who lives with Okonkwo's family and sees him as a second father. Okonkwo has affection for him, but he does not show it so as not to appear weak before the other members of the tribe. So much so, that when the Oracle determines that Ikemefuna must die, Okonkwo is the one who kills him despite not having the obligation to do so, to demonstrate this strength to the rest.

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Kurt Cobain was one of the most famous musicians of the 1990s. He rose to fame after his band released their groundbreaking album, "Nevermind". The album was a massive hit and broke all types of records. Kurt Cobain then found it difficult to struggle with all of the fame and fortune, as with most people, and started heavily doing drugs. After two years Nirvana released another hit album "In Utero". This once again broke records and continued to make grunge music a popular genre. After years of fame, Kurt Cobain had been struggling with addiction and after having a child with his wife Courtney Love, he ended his life. Many fans were heartbroken after seeing their idol lose his life in such a tragic way. However, some fans created conspiracies of their own about how and why he died.
