Read the passage from "marriage is a private affair” by chinua achebe. "father,” began nnaemeka suddenly, "i have come to ask for forgiveness.” "forgiveness? for what, my son? ” he asked in amazement. "it’s about this marriage question.” "which marriage question.” "i can’t—we must—i mean it is impossible for me to marry nweke’s daughter.” "impossible? why? ” asked his father. "i don’t love her.” "nobody said you did. why should you? ” he asked. "marriage today is different . .” "look here, my son,” interrupted his father, "nothing is different. what one looks for in a wife are a good character and a christian background.” nnaemeka saw there was no hope along the present line of argument. "moreover,” he said, "i am engaged to marry another girl who has all of ugoye’s good qualities, and who . .” his father did not believe his ears. "what did you say? ” he asked slowly and disconcertingly. "she is a good christian,” his son went on, "and a teacher in a girls’ school in lagos.” "teacher, did you say? if you consider that a qualification for a good wife, i should like to point out to you, emeka, that no christian woman should teach. st. paul in his letter to the corinthians says that women should keep silence.” how does this passage define the traditional roles of men and women?

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
