A. True suffering can be more painful than the idea of death. This is a story narrated by a person who is experiencing the Nigerian Civil War, where he is in search of people - loved ones, relatives and friends, who may be killed by war or starvation.
Explanation:
It is one of those experiences that Ben Okri survived through, which mostly reflected in his works. Okri's version of a narrator who is trying to look out for people that matter to him and his surrounded beings, whether alive or dead, is the most hear-wrenching works that readers can read. The kind of expression, symbolism and prediction used by Okri to describe situations and attitudes of people makes us understand that this is a part of the world that we must always try to avoid and try to opt for peace.
The line from the passage, <u><em>"The only people who weren't dead were the dead.</em></u><u><em>" - clearly states the theme </em></u>where we must understand that after looking at the bodies of his family members, trying search for them and pour dust on their bodies laying in the sand with pieces of food in tehir hands is the most miserable thing a man can ever experience.
Answer: How many times did this happen to everyone tho?
Me: “21”
Explanation:
This is definetly a tricky one, but you have to go back to the definition and meaning of 'theme.' A theme is the life lesson of a story or any other form of writing, movies, etc. So, I am not 100% on this, so I will say why I think for each answer. A; I definetly do not think it is A. B; doesn't sound right for me because even though the person in the poem is waiting for the bloom, he/she isn't talking just about waiting, he/she is talking about the time that is going by. C; It sounds like the cherry blossoms may bloom every year, but its not completely clear and doesn't fully match a theme. D; It sounds like the man/women is contemplating the life they have lived through seeing the cherry blossom for years. So I would say the and answer is D since that makes the most sense to me. Hope this helps! :)
