English

The anwer to the question above would be that the sentence that contains a pun is the following one: I could not remember how to throw a boomerang, but it eventually came back to me.

In order to understand the pun, you need to know what the meaning of "boomerang" is. A boomerang is "a curve stick that, when throw in a particular way, comes back to the person who threw it". Here the pun has to do with the fact that memories can also come back to you, just as boomerangs do.

<span>The answer would be C. Boomerangs, when thrown, are made to circle back to the user who threw it. The pun is a play on their memory returning to them just as a boomerang would come back to them.</span>

Match the bolded word in each excerpt from "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman to its contextual meaning.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

graft - to combine or integrate

transpire - to be revealed

to mottle- to mark with spots

Explanation:

"Song of Myself" is a poem by Walt Whitman, included in his collection Leaves of Grass. It is also the longest poem in this collection, and deals with the search for identity.

In the first excerpt of the poem - <em>''The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into new tongue''</em>, the meaning of the word <em>'graft'</em> is to combine or integrate.

In the second excerpt - <em>''It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men"</em>, the word <em>'transpire'</em> means to be revealed.

In the last excerpt, <em>"Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river", </em>the contextual meaning of <em>'mottling'</em> is marking with spots or blotches.

Choose examples of Igbo words from the novel and, in at least two hundred words, discuss the impact of those foreign words on to
djyliett [7]

Things Fall Apart illustrates many different aspects of Igbo culture. For one, it shows us on may occasions they way they view religion. They are polytheistic, which means they worship many gods. Their gods and goddesses govern different aspects of the world and daily life, such as the earth goddess, Ani.

Different rituals and customs go along with each god. We can see this in the week of peace, which is observed to honor Ani so she will bless the crops. In addition, some of the gods have Oracles. These are basically their mouthpiece on earth. The Oracles will sometimes be possessed by their god, and the god will speak through them and tell the clan what they need to do.

The novel also explores non-religious aspects of Igbo culture. For example, we see and hear about the different ceremonies and rituals that surround courtship and marriage. Men almost always have more than one wife, an important cultural aspect. We also see how the clan conducts aspects of war, and some of how they keep and enforce law and order. Over the course of the novel we get to see a wide array of different aspects of Igbo life and culture. Not sure if this is at least two hundred words but hope it helps.
