Answer:

C. Derisive

Explanation:

The question is from Maya Angelou's <em>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. </em>In Chapter 16, Angelou, through her main character, Marguerite, describes the discrimination between how white and black girls are prepared for life. She describes,  “While white girls learned to waltz and sit gracefully with a tea cup balanced . . . we were lagging behind, learning the mid-Victorian values.” Black girls are also taught to work in the kitchen for white families.

One day, Marguerite overhears her employer, Mrs. Cullinan while she's talking to the cook. “her name’s too long. I’d never bother myself. I’d call her Mary if I was you.” Angelou describes Marguerite's anger and disgust in the words, “lunch in her mouth a second time.” Later, Marguerite is so angry that she decides to quit her job and breaks several of Mrs. Cullinan's favorite dishes.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

If I were in Okonkwo's position, I felt a little worried about trying to be a different person from my father. I would demostrate that I could be brave, saver and be against all the movements that they could remind how my father was. I decided to control my feelings and did not demostrate that I was a human being.  

I would work really hard to prove that I was be able to change the destiny of my people without being an arrogant or wasteful. I would try to be nice with my family instead of having the same actitude like my father. I would take advantage of having a good relationship with my subjects and I would make a difference in their lives and at the same time I would rule different from my father did. I would have all my wives but I would handle them lovely and they were be able to help me to have a peace relationship with my kids.

It would make me to feel happy to be different from my father and helped a lot of people, be really a real man and I could demostrate my feelings; Not to be too hard with my own family specially my wives and kids. Have beautiful feelings would help to think in a better way and it stopped to do wrong actions that would damage my own honor and even my family.

If I were Okonkwo, I would react differently, I would not make the same mistakes and I would try to be a different person; a comprehensive, humble, loyal, lovely, person. I would think different and be able to demostrate that have feelings sometimes is good and help us to think that I as a human being could make mistakes or ask for help.

Explanation:

All the answers wrote means that the life of Okonkwo was not easy. He suffered from his father's life. He tried to be different but at the end his own feelings were harder that he wishes for a new life with his wives and kids. He did not know how to handle all the situation that he lived with his father and avoid repeting some destructive behaviors with his family. He prefered to be punishement hard instead of admiting he was wrong.
