In at least one hundred words, discuss how the British used religion as one of their methods of colonizing Africa in Things Fall
djverab [1.8K]

In "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, the British colonized Africa by converting lower class people and outcasts to Christianity, bought their own form of government ("But apart from the church, the white men had also brought a government.") and even imprisoned men of higher titles for acts that are illegal under British law "... Some of these  prisoners had thrown away their twins ..." The British were able to conquer some areas such as Abame, and in Umuofia they had turned the men against each other with their influence. As Obierika says to Okonkwo, "... Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.”

In "Kaddo's Wall," what does the wall symbolize to Kaddo? a. wealth b. honesty c. rage d. charity
svet-max [94.6K]

<span>a.     </span>Wealth


In “Kaddo’s Wall,” the main character, Kaddo, had a surplus of corn that was so great he did not know what really to do with it.  The one thing he knew for certain, however, is that he did not want to share his corn with those less fortunate.  Instead he has the corn made into flour and the flour made into bricks with which he builds a wall around his house.  The idea that Kaddo had so much corn that he could use a life-sustaining substance to build a wall is quite opulent.  Thus, because it is with (and out of) his wealth that the wall is made, the wall symbolizes wealth.
