English

Talja [164]2 years ago

Answer:

14. True.

15. False.

16. True.

Explanation:

In Chinua Achebe's novel 'Things Fall Apart", the story revolves around the Igbo culture in Africa, specifically on the character of Okonkwo. The story deals with themes of culture, tradition, Christianity, conformity, etc.

In Chapter 3, we see that Okonkwo's father Unoka went to the Oracle to consult why his crops failed even though he made sacrifices. It was then that he was told his crops failed despite his sacrifices because he was lazy and had planted on a wasted land.

Okonkwo's prosperity was a result of his desire to be unlike his lazy father. He did not want to be deemed alike to his father and thus, went to the wealthy Nwakibie to ask for 400 yam seeds.

In Igbo culture, yam was considered to be the king of the crops. It was assumed that a man who can feed yam to his family the whole year is a man who has succeeded and is hardworking.

Some of them were bad, but she made them from kindness. She made them to make people feel better."

I concluded to myself that if I were the hunter, I would shoot the monkey so that it would no longer have the chance to put othe
beks73 [17]

Hello. Although you have submitted the text, you have not submitted any questions associated with it. This makes it impossible for me to give you an answer. However, I will try to help you by showing you the context and the meaning of this text within the story.

This text is an excerpt from "A Long Way Gone" written by Ishmael Beah, where he recounts the experiences he had when he became a soldier, still a child at the age of 12, in the Sierra Leone War.

The excerpt presented by you shows how much the war and the situation where Beah lived made him mature a lot and at an early age, since from an early age, he understood the concept of death and especially the concept of death of someone dear and loved. He presents the monkey as a representation of the government, blamed for the deaths and the problems that all citizens in the region are facing, for this reason, the government needs to be removed, killed and overthrown, preventing other people from being killed on his behalf.
