Chinua Achebe believes that "[l]iterature, whether handed down by word of mouth or in print, gives us a second handle on reality
IgorLugansk [536]
<span>In the work, “What Has Literature Got To Do With It” Chinua Achebe emphasizes his belief that literature is much more than just a creative form of expression, arguing that it is a necessary and vital contribution to everyday life. Achebe explains how “Literature, whether handed down by word of mouth or in print; gives us a second handle on reality”(117). It does so by providing the essential building blocks toward development, or as he calls it, “modernization.” In other words, Achebe argues that, in order for African nations to prosper and become successful, their first “goal” should be to understand literature.

5. ‘“It is painfully clear this slaughter was perpetrated by a force that holds zero regard for the value of life.”’ (Paragraph
alexdok [17]

Answer and Explanation

This statement comes from the satiric article titled “Natural Selection Kills 38 Quadrillion Organisms In Bloodiest Day Yet”.

The article is a satire on how violent and ruthless natural selection can be. Natural Selection is an essential part of life. It is pivotal for evolution and it is the force that separates successful adaptations from those which are not. Natural selection, in the form of the struggle between prey and predator, is also essential to ensure there is a biomass equilibrium. This equilibrium is essential for a healthy ecosystem, and therefore to the perpetuation of life over our planet.

The irony in the statement “It is painfully clear this slaughter was perpetrated by a force that holds zero regard for the value of life” comes from a deep understanding of natural selection as an essential force of nature, as an indispensable part of life. Natural selection implies death, and therefore death is a fundamental part of life. Therefore, stating that “this force holds zero regard for the value of life” becomes an ironic comment on the paradoxical and yet indispensable relationship between death and life.

Analyze how imagery contributes to the meaning and style in this excerpt from Thoreau’s book, Walden. Cite evidence from the tex
SSSSS [86.1K]
Thoreau's Walden is about nature and its superiority to the civilized world. Hence his imagery implies the authenticity and vividness of nature, as opposed to the superficial and artificial edifice of humanity and civilization. Imagery appeals to human senses, and the reader gets a feeling that the described phenomenon can be touched, heard, seen, smelled - which conveys a colorful and profound view of nature, as something that is far from mere abstraction. Nature is, in fact, a genuine part of us that we can immerse in and enjoy with the whole of our being. For example, "the wood thrush sang around, and was heard from shore to shore" is an auditory imagery - we can almost hear the thrush's song and its echoing. A visual imagery can be seen in "<span>shallow and darkened by clouds, the water, full of light and reflections" - there are nuances of colors and meanings in this passage, which imply the ever changing and ever evolving nature of the landscape, which seems to have a life of its own.</span>
