<span>Okonkwo himself grows quite fond of Ikemefuna, but he does not show any affection ... he considers doing so a sign of weakness, which he refuses to tolerate in himself or others. ...

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.

Matchlocks were primed, cartridges rammed home, and swords loosened in their sheaths. Was it the Tuaregs again across our path? But Mohammed, the keen-eyed, shouted joyfully— “The oasis, the oasis! I see the palm-trees.”  

this would be the answer because of the way that they are over joyed when they find the Oasis.

dangina [55]

Answer:

Dear Catherine,

      Good morning from Austin, Texas! School started today and I am starting to like this very much. Part of this is due to my amazing teacher. She's nice and sweet but teaches, well, stopping to keep all students on the same track. I feel as though we can talk about anything with her as well. I was talking about something totally random during class and she seemed understanding, even connecting it back to the main topic. I am so blessed to have gotten such an amazing, dedicated teacher.

Miss you,

Amy
