Pick two parallel characters from these chapters and, in at least 250 words, describe how comparing them reveals something signi
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

In Umuofia, the Christians are led by a kindly white man named Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown restrains the zeal of some of the fanatical converts. A convert named Enoch is particularly violent, always stirring up trouble; Brown strives to moderate Enoch's excesses. Mr. Brown is a wise and patient man; he befriends many of the local great men, and earns their affection. He spends a good deal of time with Akunna; they speak through an interpreter on the subject of religion. Neither man converts the other, but Mr. Brown learns much about the local religion and concludes that missionary work should be subtle and indirect: direct confrontation will not work. He also tries hard to get people to send their children to the Christian school. At first, people only send their lazy children. But more and more people begin to go as they realize that the ability to read and write opens up great social mobility. The DC is surrounded by Africans from Umaru; these literate subordinates earn high wages and how power in Umuofia. Mr. Brown's school begins to produce results.

 How do the photographs help you understand how Buster Keaton got the nickname “The Great Stoneface”?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The photographs help me understand that Buster Keaton got the nickname “The Great Stoneface" because his facial expressions in the two photographs remained the same. He wasn't smiling or even looking bright and cheerful. Also, he wasn't looking like one who easily smiled or changed his facial expressions.

Explanation:

Buster Keaton is known to be "The Great Stoneface" because of the way he kept his face which looked the same. He seemed like he wasn't the smiling type of person. So, he seemed to have conditioned his facial expression the way it is. Anytime he is seen, he looks the same way.
