Does the elaborate feast show the importance of kinship and community bonds or does it show okonkwo’s sense of self importance? give 2 reasons

The correct answer is:

The elaborate feast shows the importance of kinship and community bonds.

Explanation:

In the first place the great fest is offered by Mbanta, a respectful elder of the community who wants to show respect and honor to Okonkwo who is named as guardian of the old ways.  The elaborate feast was offered to the community,  in order to highlight okonkwo’s desires to defend the village according to his values regarding the religious beliefs and values.

In the second place, it is possible to appreciate how Mbanta and Okonkwo  understand and agree about “the bond of kinship” when they both think about the importance of the familiar relationships and that the most important for the community should be to defend their territory, people, culture and beliefs. Contrary to what they had already seen with the youngest generations.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
