Read the excerpt from "Civil Peace" by Chinua Achebe. As soon as the pound notes were placed in his palm Jonathan simply closed

it tight over them and buried fist and money inside his trouser pocket. He had to be extra careful because he had seen a man a couple of days earlier collapse into near-madness in an instant before that oceanic crowd because no sooner had he got his twenty pounds than some heartless ruffian picked it off him. What effect does the setting have on Jonathan’s actions? He decides to spend the money quickly so he does not lose it on the way back home. He is cautious with the money because people got robbed more often after the war. He decides to give his money away to the man who lost his because he feels bad for him. He is proud of having more money and lets other people know about it on his way home.

Answer:

He is cautious with the money because people got robbed more often after the war.

Explanation:

After the civil war that transpired between the Nigerian government and the Biafran people, the Igbo ethnic group who lost all they had were compensated twenty pounds each to begin life again. Given that the money was a meager sum, some had their monies stolen by thieves as was the case of Jonathan.

So the setting which had a large crowd could harbor thieves monitoring people. This made Jonathan cautious with his money so as not to have it stolen.

The author calls the ocean a complex patchwork of environments and it says it's not limitless. Explain what you think this means
KatRina [158]

Answer and Explanation:

When the author states that the ocean is like a patchwork quilt, he is referring to how the ocean is a highly diverse environment. As you already know, a patchwork is an object made up of elements that are completely different from each other, but which are able to harmoniously join together to form the patchwork. The ocean is also like that, as it is formed by several elements that are completely different, but that come together in harmony.

However, the ocean is not infinite, on the contrary, it can have an end, due to pollution and intense human exploitation that degrades the ocean immensely. This is what the author wants to present when he says that the ocean is not limitless.

For this assignment, it is basically comparing the positive and negative effect of using technology to study individually. Just pick a side and stick to that topic. Here is two example thesis statement for both sides. Pro: many students have difficulty learning at the same pace as their peers, technology gives them the opportunity to be able to study at their own pace from their home and it also motivates students to broaden their knowledge on worldly matters in which they do not receive in a typical school setting. Cons: When studying for a test or simply doing homework, technology is not the best choice. Students need the physical interaction between them and the teachers or other peers as it will help them to be able to produce critical thinking on any matter, communicate, collaborate with others, and be creative;the 4 C's that are not always produced successfully when using technology as a source of studying. These are just examples. You can use any type of examples but, you don't want to make it too broad. Also, when making key points for your thesis or when making a thesis, always be direct. Never use 'I think', 'I believe', etc. as it makes it seem as if you are not sure of your points. If you need anymore help, feel free to ask. I did a similar essay to this when I was in high school except, it asked what are the pros and cons of using technology as a source of learning.

Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant. —Horace
Virty [35]

Answer: The quote "Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant ", by the poet Horace, is true to my life and I think is true for all life. The meaning behind it is that many times a person can face adversity and develop traits and talents that they would have never developed without those adversities. Although many people may think that adversity holds people back, I think that it enhances learning, exposes weakness, and helps us better understand ourselves. Without adversity it would be very difficult for people to advance and adapt in life.

With adversity comes learning. If life was always the same and your day to day process was a routine, then you would not learn very much. A person who lives like that would become very good at the things they do over and over again but then as soon that life style changes, they would have no idea what to do. That is why it is important to have adversity in life because it helps to learn when new situations occur. It also helps develop pristine skills and talents used in problem solving that would never exist without adversity.

Another advantage to having adversity in life is the exposure of weakness and the fortification of mental strength. When adversity comes up and we are easily able to solve the problem, we know that if that ever comes up again that we will have no problem bouncing back from that setback. If a larger and more severe situation occurs in out life and we are not able to handle it as well as other ones, we know that it is a weakness. Finding a weakness is beneficial for two reasons. The first is that it gives us something to practice for so that we are better at assessing such situations. The second is that it gives us something to watch out for and possibly makes us more careful to avoid that situation occurring again
