The correct answer is "the universal topic". Universal topics are non specific themes which can be the main focus of an essay for example, "food", "animals", "friendship", "love", among other. Nonfictional works could be focused of any universal topic, and the author's purpose by writing the work is to elaborate in this topic with her or his readers.
Here are some of the ways the families are significant, I'm not sure how far you are in the story yet tho. I read this book last year, so I can't remember which parts these are from
1) The way they have 2 children to a family, one male and one female
2) Raising children were rules in the community
3) The parents aren't the real birth givers of the children, you had to apply for kids
4) Very controlled family with special practices
Hope this helps! (I believe it's all before chapter 10)
Answer:
A). Okonkwo thinks his daughter Ezinma should have been a boy because she is strong and violent.
Explanation:
'Things Fall Apart' by Chinua Achebe is one of the most acknowledged African novels that primarily aims to reclaim the African culture and critique the colonialism and its dark side.
As per the question, the conclusion that can be drawn regarding Okonkwo is that 'he thinks that his daughter Ezinma should have been born a boy as she possesses a bolder attitude and strong and violent character.' <u>She owns the masculine characteristics like brazenness and confidence in her behavior which makes her fit in the traditional role like her father</u>. She sits like boys and does not fear to take on their tasks too. Due to these characteristics, Okonkwo thinks she should have been a boy. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
