Jonathan Iwegbu as survived the Nigerian Civil War along with his wife and three of his four children, and thus considers himself “extraordinarily lucky”. He also treasures his still-working bicycle, which he buried during the war to ensure it would not be stolen. Another apparent miracle is his still-standing home, which he repairs and reoccupies after returning home to the capital city of Enugu. To explain both his good and bad fortune to himself and others, he often repeats a phrase: “Nothing puzzles God." Jonathan works hard in the aftermath of the war, using his bicycle to start a taxi service and opening a bar for soldiers. His family mirrors his example, cooking food and picking fruit for sale. Since the coal mine where Jonathan worked before the war has not reopened, this resilience is crucial towards securing even their minor comfort. One day, after turning over rebel currency, Jonathan is given an award of 20 pounds. He takes care not to be robbed, remembering a theft he observed several days earlier, in which a man broke down in public over the indignity. That night, a group of thieves knocks on his door demanding money. Frightened, the family calls for the neighbors and police, but the heavy silence when they finish reminds them that nobody looks out for anyone but himself. The thieves then mock them, crying out even louder to indicate how helpless the family is. The theif leader emands 100 pounds, promising not to hurt Jonathan or his family if he cooperates. Eventually, Jonathan realizes their lack of options, and gives the thieves the 20 pounds of reward money so they will leave the family unharmed. Some thieves insist they should search the house for more, but the thief leader believes this is all Jonathan has, and accepts it.
The next morning, Jonathan and the family are back at work as the neighbors arrive. Sensing their confusion over his ability to toss off the situation of the night before, Jonathan explains to his neighbors that the reward money cannot compare to what he lost in the war. He chooses to focus on his work in the present rather than regret what has happened, since “Nothing puzzles God.”
All the sentences support the claim that the American colonies could thrive independently from Britain. The one that does it more directly is number 3: But even this is admitting more than is true, for I answer roundly, that America would have flourished as much, and probably much more, had no European power had any thing to do with her.
Sentences 1 and 2 are simply explaining - by comparing the country to a child - how naive is the claim that, if America once needed Britain, it would always need Britain. It would be the same as saying a child will never eat meat because he/she was first raised my being fed milk.
Sentence 4 is only claiming America has found a lucrative livelihood by taking advantage of European habits and needs.
Sentence 3 makes it clear that, in Paine's opinion, America not only is successful but could have done even better if there had been no interference from Britain at all from the very start. Such connection was not essential for America's development, it only hindered it.
Answer: The answer is given below.
Explanation:
Fear simply means when one is afraid of a partial thing that can either cause harm, or pain.
The allure of fear is due to the fact that when one is afraid, the person is under intense pressure as the person won't know the next thing that'll happen to him or her and there's a particular adrenaline that the person will feel. This can be seen from the literature where Usher stated that he's afraid of the results of the events that'll occur in the future and thesame thing was said by Roderick as well.
The thing I've learned from this story about portrayal of fear in literature is that fear is a result of the fact that we don't know what will happen as we don't know if the outcome of an event will be favorable, harmful, painful etc, hence, we also feel a particular pressure which makes us afraid.
