In “Things Fall Apart”, Okonkwo is banished from his village by his people. He is exiled from the world in which he grew up. Everything he has built, what he earned through hard work and effort remains now in the past. Now he must start again to recover the dignity he has lost.

Okonkwo feels out of place, and then leaves his village in search of returning to feel part of a society in another place.

ddd [48]
The two events that most relate to Janie's view that true love is the key to happiness are when she meets Tea Cake, and when her image of Jody is shattered after he hits her. This is because when Janie meets Tea Cake, her whole world view changes. He treats her as an equal, and she can be herself around him. Once she falls for him, it changes essentially everything for her. 

Janie's image of Jody "shattering" is also representative of this view of Janie's, because it represents what can happen to one's happiness when they <em>don't </em> have true love. Janie thought fairly highly of Jody, and she loved him, but when he hits her, her happiness and love for him is gone.

I think that the problem Henry has raised is a major ________ for our society today.
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

I agree with you that issue is best; it is a good parallel with problem.  

A problem might be a subject for discussion, but we are not likely to say it is a subject for society.  

It is difficult to see how a problem could be a theme for society. If there is a repeated or underlying subject of discussions we might call it a theme:

If there was an underlying theme it was this: "The problem is we don't have any money". (Source: Seattle Post Intelligencer (blog) - Mar 24, 2010)

​

Points are likely to be assertions, not questions to resolve, which is what problems are. We aren't likely to say "a point for our society today", unless we say what the society is to do with it. A person could say "[The fact that education is necessary for progress] is a point for our society to consider," although there would be better ways to express the idea.

choli [55]

The correct answer is "Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations".

Explanation: In "The Great Fire", the narrator explains White's testimony of the  Great Chicago fire; there were accounts of men taking advantage of the situation and overcharging services for people in distress, but in other instances, there were regular people who helped for free. The everyday people who chose to help without expecting anything in return were the true heroes.
