There are many literary devices used in the plot development of <em>Things Fall Apart</em>; let's remember that we call a <em>literary device</em> all those tools an author use to convey his/her ideas and points in a story.
One of the tools used by Achebe in this text is irony. One example of this is Okonkwo's suicide at the end. After saying he could survive everything, you don't expect him to do it.
Another literary device the author uses is foreshadowing. This happens when an event or action hits at a future event or action. This is used, for example, when Okonkwo falls into depression after being exiled to his motherland for killing a clansman and, at the end he commites suicide. This depression meant more for him that any other event and changed his destiny.
Symbolism is other used tool in this story when referred to a man's ability to grow yams. It is directly tied to his manhood and how others see him as a man. In this particular case, the yam is the major symbol of masculinity.
One way to fix that sentence is to switch around the two phrases used; 'My mother and father are both scientists' and 'It must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.'
It must have been my destiny to spark an interest in Biology, as my mother and father are both scientists.
That's a way to fix that sentence used in your question.
Also, 'destiny' was spelled incorrectly.
This sentence may seem run on if you don't place a conjunction between the two phrases, or if the phrases are not switched.
If the sentence is to be used with a conjunction, it may end up like this....
My mother and father are both scientists, so it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.
Or, you may just use a period, to change the two phrases used into two separate sentences.
Like this;
My mother and father are both scientists. For that reason, it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.
ALSO, as you can see above, I have added a few words to the last sentence. Those three words, 'For that reason', give closure to the two sentences.
Hope this helped!
Well I can’t see the answer to choose from problem is D
Answer and Explanation:
In "Chivalry", by Neil Gaiman, we can see that Mrs. Whitaker lives a very monotonous life without major events. She is a widow and retired who lives alone, being kind and kind to everyone she knows.
The monotony in her life makes it seem like she is a dull and boring character, but she is a very interesting and intelligent woman, who has had a lot of action in her life, but who now prefers to live in tranquility, even if it seems monotone for the readers.
