Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

In the novel, Things Fall Apart by the African legendary author and professor of Literature, Chinua Achebe, The war magic of Umuofia and the market magic of Umuike are personified as old women.

The reason for such personification is that these spirits behind the markets which are actually great and quite powerful wished to disguise themselves in order to be perceived as being weak and frail by the people who doubt them.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

I see the sunlight dappled on the hill,

A balmy afternoon in the late Spring,

I hear the sweet beautiful birdsong still;

It's a time when all the birds sweetly sing!

And the meadows of flowers sweetly blow,

They perfume the air with fragrance so sweet,

Sometimes at evening when I walk slow;

I stop to see those flowers at my feet.

I stop and stoop to smell their dear sweetness,

For they are filled with everlasting grace,

For sometimes they will my fair cheeks caress;

And brush their petals up against my face.

I admire they're so very sweet beauty,

They are a very fond treasure to see!

Explanation:

hope this works :).

Answer: No woman while I live shall govern me.

Explanation:

After the guard tells Creon that Antigone buried Polyneices, despite the proclamation against that, she acknowledges that it is true, claiming that it is the order of the gods to perform funeral rites for the dead. She even accuses Creon of being a fool.

Creon is angry at her stubbornness, but especially at her having that attitude as a woman, which is evident when he says "no woman while I live shall govern me."
