In "Things Fall Apart," one religious practice of the people of Umuofia is the practice of animal sacrifice.

They describe sacrificing a rooster before planting crops. The sacrifice is dedicated to Ani, the owner of all land. A rooster is also sacrificed to Ifejioku, the god of yams. 

This practice is culturally significant because the sacrifice is meant to ensure good crops. Ultimately, these sacrifices ensure the health of the village, since if the crops fail, the villagers will be without a large part of their food supply. Since the crops are so essential to the villagers' health, the sacrifice has a great cultural significance.

Which of Cyril's actions does Saki exaggerate in "The Storyteller" to create satire? Select three options.
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Disobeying his aunt .

Asking questions about everything .

Commenting on the two stories he is told.

Explanation:

Satire is a literary tool that writers use to provide humor, and even at times a 'truth-behind-the scene' comment which may be what the writer wants to expose but didn't want to admit directly. It becomes a tool for the writer to express the things that may seem hard to address.

In H. H. Munro's short story "The Storyteller", Cyril is the small boy traveling with his aunt and two sisters. And through this young character, the author uses the tool of satire to bring into focus some of the themes he wants to express or bring to light himself. And by exaggerating the character of Cyril, he allows the readers to get a sense of what the aunt is like. Cyril becomes the tool through which some issues were raised, when he disobeyed his aunt when he is told not to smack the cushion, asks numerous questions unnecessarily, and even commenting on both the stories that were told to him. He even openly proclaimed <em>"It is the only beautiful story I have ever heard"</em>, indirectly commenting on the story-telling ability of his aunt.

Thus, the <u>correct answers are the first, second, and last options</u>.

How does the author characterize Theseus in the story? Cite evidence from the text in your response
PolarNik [594]

The author portrays Theseus as a flawed human being. In early adventures, Theseus proved that he was a 'hero' but it wasn't until he slew the minotaur he became a legend, the living embodiment of braveness. However the author also made sure to mention that he deserted Princess Ariadne and even killed her father without much thought in order to allow the reader to understand that this so called hero although brave is far from perfect.

Hope this helps!
