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.

Who is the speaker of the poem the parrot in the cage? why does he call himself a twice born child​
zmey [24]

Answer:

A)

On superficial structure level the speaker of the poem " The Parrot in the Cage" is parrot himself. On deep structure level, it is the poet himself  or any modern day human being.

B)

The parrot calls himself twice born because he has seen two completely different lives. He was born free, first in the forest, and he was born caged second time.

Explanation:

On deep structure level the poet is talking about himself or any modern day human being who is caged by his social duties to work and earn more and more. Man has to do things which he does not like, to perform even when he/she is tired.

Two different lives of the caged parrot are before and after being caught in the cage. One when he was totally free in the forests, could eat, drink, chatter, fly and do whatever and whenever he liked. The other life started when he was caged and now can not fly, can not drink cool waters from rivers, can not enjoy fresh and delicious fruits hanging on the forest trees.

These two lives of parrot can also be compared with man's life when he was a child and was free, and as an adult he has been caged by social duties and bound to please his master/boss.

Similarly, we can interpret these two lives as the lives of human beings in old times and in modern times. In old times human being were mostly free and did whatever pleased them, but in modern times, human beings have to work too much to earn more and more to please the society. Man is not man anymore, he has become a machine.

Do you think the poem wind is a didatic poem? what moral values does it preach?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

I think the poem "Wind" is a didactic poem.

Explanation:

A didactic poem is a poem that has moral lessons.

"Wind" by SUBRAMANIA BHARATI is a didactic poem that talks about the wind which is blowing and makes a request that it doesn't scatter the papers of the book but it does and also brings rain.

"Wind, come softly.

Don’t break the shutters of the windows.

Don’t scatter the papers.

Don’t throw down the books on the shelf.

There, look what you did — you threw them all down.

You tore the pages of the books.

You brought rain again."

In the latter part of the poem, the poet advises that we build strong homes that won't be destroyed by strong winds.

Another moral lesson is that he advises that we make our minds and bodies firm so we can withstand the difficulties of life.

"So, come, let’s build strong homes,

Let’s joint the doors firmly.

Practise to firm the body.

Make the heart steadfast.

Do this, and the wind will be friends with us.

The wind blows out weak fires."

Which of the following correctly describe biographical details of George Gordon Lord Byron? Select all that apply.
Lynna [10]

Answer:

1. Born with a clubfoot.

2. He came into his inheritance at the age of ten.

4. Many of his contemporaries, with the notable exception of Shelley, disliked the man and his work.

Lord Byron was a British poet, peer, politician and one of the most important figures in the Romantic movement. Byron was a good friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley, fellow poet, and his wife, Mary Shelley, author of <em>Frankenstein</em>.

Byron was also born with a clubfoot, and inherited great fortune and land early on. The incorrect statement, however, is the third one. Byron's title was inherited from his great uncle, the "wicked" Lord Byron, when he passed away in 1798. This made him the 6th Baron Byron of Rochdale and owner of Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire.
