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.

Read the excerpt from The Ancient City.
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The main idea of the paragraph is:

A. Many Greek towns held sporting events with similar games.

Explanation:

When writing a paragraph, we mention the main idea along the first lines and then develop and support that idea in the following lines. In the paragraph we are analyzing here, the author's main idea is expressed in the very first sentence, "The Panathenaic Games was only one of several great religious sporting events held in Greece." From that point on, the author mentions the other several games that were held in Greece. He/She does include minor facts such as the cities where they were held, who could participate, and what sort of differences there could be between them. But the main reason for mentioning all those games is to provide evidence and support to the main idea that the Panathenaic was only of several sporting events.

Match each description to the correct form of ode,
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Pindaric

1 A ceremonious poem created by an ancient Greek poet who lived in the fifth century BC.

2 A poem that consists of a three-part structure: a strophe, an antistrophe, and an epode.

Irregular

1 A poem that doesn't follow any set structure and is open to experimentation.

2 A rhymed ode that doesn't have a fixed number of lines per stanza.

Explanation:

Pindaric or Pindaric ode is named after the great Greek poet Pindar described as the greatest lyrical poet. Pindar lived about 5th century B.C. Pindaric odes consist of three parts: 1 strophe, antistrophe and epode. The strophe and antistrophe have the same meter and length; while the epode has a different meter and length.

Irregular Odes have some of the elements (usually tone and subject) of the classic odes (either Pindaric or Horatian), while they are free in experimenting with rhyme and structure.

There is also a third type of odes called Horatian ode named after Roman poet Horace. It has a regular stanza pattern. Horatian odes are usually more thoughtful and meant for personal enjoyment as compared with Pindaric ode.
