What was respected more a person's worth or the worth of the family he came from? Fortunately, among these people a man was judg

ed according to his worth and not according to the worth of his father. Okonkwo was clearly cut out for great things. He was still young but he had won fame as the greatest wrestler in the nine villages. He was a wealthy farmer and had two barns full of yams, and had just married his third wife. To crown it all he had taken two titles and had shown incredible prowess in two inter-tribal wars. And so although Okonkwo was still young, he was already one of the greatest men of his time. Age was respected among his people, but achievement was revered. As the elders said, if a child washed his hands he could eat with kings. Okonkwo had clearly washed his hands and so he ate with kings and elders. And that was how he came to look after the doomed lad who was sacrificed to the village of Umuofia by their neighbors to avoid war and bloodshed. The ill-fated lad was called Ikemefuna. Your answer:
a.The family
b.The person

How do the poetic elements used in "La Belle Dame sans Merci" add to its<br> theme?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

. "La Belle Dame sans Merci" is a ballad written by John Keats in 1819 and since it is written in one of the oldest poetic forms, it also has many poetic elements.

  • Some of the poetic elements in this ballad are metaphors, smiles, alliteration, irony, assonance, personification, hyperbole, onomatopoeia and allusions.

We can find two major conflicts in the poem and poetic elements are making them more exciting and they are rising the poem on its higher level.

There is a lot of repetitions of letters s and r, f and s and w, f and s which is making the alliteration and assonance.

  • For example, the irony is used between women and men's connection. The knight is thinking that the woman is giving him back the love and desire but readers are knowing that is now true because of the atmosphere in the poem.

We can see that those poetic elements are leading the readers through the main theme and point of the poem.

The second step in the Wise Choice Process involves doing what?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The Wise Choice process is meant to help students and young people to think about their choices in a more in-depth manner before they make them so that they may avoid making decisions that are more likely to negatively affect them.

The second step in the process involves;

<h2>Thinking about what the ideal situation would be. </h2>

This follows on the heels of the first step which is where one describes their current situation. For instance, if they are failing in class, they admit to themselves that they are failing as well as why they are failing.

After that, they move to the second step where they think and state what they would like their ideal situation which for instance (following from the first example) could be that they would like to pass the class by getting a certain grade. It is important to be specific in this step.
