<u>Answer</u>:

B. Both essays have a satirical tone.

D. Both essays have a conversational tone.

The story "The Danger of Lying in Bed" describes the conversation between two men. One of them argues that he would only buy travel insurance when he knows he will spend all day in bed. This is because he is convinced he is a lot more likely to die while being in bed than while travelling. On the other hand, "The Fallacy of Success" describes how books that promise immediate success are fallacious and deceptive. Both texts have a satirical and conversational tone.

Len [333]

The novel describes the traditional ways of life of the Ibo (or Igbo), with its religion, its proverbs, its laws, its rituals, its family and social structure ... The protagonist, Okonkwo, is a warrior from the town of Umuofia, a man characterized by action and strength rather than by reflection and prudence. Contrary to show any form of affection, which considers a weakness, governs his family with a firm hand and aspires to become one of the leaders of the clan. However, Okonkwo is expelled from the clan for seven years for offending the spirits, and when he returns, after the deadline, the white man has installed in the village the first Christian missions, and nothing will be the same.

The novel shows us a sexist tribal society, superstitious, rigid and capable of cruelly treating its members, even the most defenseless. But what comes with the arrival of the white man is not at all better: religious fanaticism, legal arbitrariness, corruption, repression or even genocide ... Hence the final irony of the narrator, when he says that one of the European officials are writing a book entitled “The pacification of the primitive tribes of Lower Niger”, in which undoubtedly present the natives as savages who needed to be civilized (with the cross and the shotgun in equal parts).

Achebe has portrayed the process of destruction of traditional ways of life and power at the hands of colonialism. In other novels, such as “A Man of the People”, he has told, with the same critical spirit, the future of his country immediately after decolonization.

What do readers learn about the narrator based on his
Nady [450]

What do readers learn about the narrator based on his reaction to the conflict?

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon."

Then I saw the dead god. He was sitting in his chair, by the window, in a room I had not entered before and, for the first moment, I thought that he was alive. Then I saw the skin on the back of his hand—it was like dry leather. The room was shut, hot and dry—no doubt that had kept him as he was. At first I was afraid to approach him—then the fear left me. He was sitting looking out over the city—he was dressed in the clothes of the gods. His age was neither young nor old—I could not tell his age. But there was wisdom in his face and great sadness. You could see that he would have not run away. He had sat at his window, watching his city die—then he himself had died. But it is better to lose one's life than one's spirit—and you could see from the face that his spirit had not been lost. I knew, that, if I touched him, he would fall into dust—and yet, there was something unconquered in the face.
