Answer:
Three images were used in "The Black Hermit" to help bring out the theme for the story which centered on Nationalism and Tribalism. They are:
1) Jane, a comfort woman, depicted as an object of contentment, as Remi - the protagonist, found "contentment in the Jane, his new lover ..." in the city (emphasis on "the" is mine). Mark the use of the article "the" in reference to Jane. Thus, Jane was totally objectified, showing that she was not regarded as a person, but an object from which Remi derived sexual satisfaction in the city where he exiled himself from his tribe. The Jane is, therefore, an image of a woman, who provides sexual satisfaction. The Jane could have been any woman, provided she played her role to Remi.
2) Another image was the use of "Youth" as "a cloth that can wear away." It is true that youth is a passing age. It does not last forever. But, does youth wear away? Yes, actually it does. Like cloth, too much indulgence in youthful exuberances and "washing" of youthful age can lead it to "wear and tear." This warns our youth to be mindful of how they use their time. The beautiful, well-bottomed and breast-pointed lady soon becomes like a sexually unattractive and aged woman with shivering legs and sagging breasts.
3) The change of regime following independence from the colonial British empire was depicted as the tribally re-arranged marriage to Remi's late brother's wife, Thorni - a kind of change of baton. Similarly, as independence was demanded by Kenyan nationalists, this particular tribal re-marriage was required by tribalists. Remi would be handed leadership of the nation and a wife he did not love, thus depicting the inherent conflict between Nationalism and Tribalism. Where does one's loyalty lie? The tribal wife represents national leadership of the newly independent nation. Is leadership forced on people without their total consent and aspiration?
Explanation:
"The Black Hermit" was a play written by Ngugi wa Thiong’o, and first published in 1968. The Makerere College Students Dramatic Society at the Ugandan National Theatre first played out the play on November 1962.
The Black Hermit chronicled the conflicts faced by African nationalists who won independence from their colonial masters. African governments since independence have failed to solve the problems that confronted them. These included tribalism, land clashes, and inequalities.
All over Nigeria, for instance, after 60 years of independence, the country has not found its bearing. Every year there have been tribal wars and clashes. Those entrusted with political leadership are yet to grasp the enormity of their responsibilities. They actively play one citizen against the other, one tribe against the other, one religion against the other, and one political association against the other. Tribal racism is still rampant in social, economic, and political spheres. While they demonstrate against racism in the U.S., back home, they do everything to engender, promote, and sustain tribal, political, economic and religious racism, unmindful of the negative impact on their nations.
The play is divided into three parts: Act One, Act Two, and Act Three with three scenes each. The first and third acts occur in the countryside while the second one happened in the town.
The main character was Remi and the minor ones included Thoni, Nyobi, Omange, Pastor, Jane, and the elders.
Does this paragraph sound coherent and lucid with good grammar? What should I fix up to make it sound flawless?:
"What I learned about this year in art is shading and the different types of it such as; standard, hatching, crosshatching, and stippling. My favorite part about art this year is the fun-filled activities and projects with groups and my least favorite part about it is the dull assignments that come with it. What I wish I could’ve done this year is to be a little more productive and work harder. What you could’ve done better to help me is to make sure I was well informed on certain assignments and projects so I could do them without any difficulties. Even so, I thought you were helpful enough and considerate. "

The narrator in The Canterbury Tales, says he plans to "give account of all their words and dealings, / Using their very phrases as
they fell." For which kind of characterization would an author provide such details?
a. direct characterization
C. direct and indirect characterization
b. indirect characterization
d. dramatic characterization
The correct answer is B. Indirect characterization
Explanation:
When authors use indirect characterization they only explain the actions, words, and general behavior of characters to show the reader how the characters are, rather than directly describing the characters from their perspective (direct characterization). According to this, the narrator of The Canterbury tells will use indirect characterization because he will only explain the "words and dealings" of the characters through the characters "very phrases as they fell", which shows the narrator will not describe the characters directly but let their words and actions show how they are.

"Nikki Giovanni's real name is Yolande Cornelia. Most poets do not change their name. Why might she have done so? How does using the nom de plume of Nikki Giovanni add to her poetry?"
Answer:
Explanation:
Her real name - Yolande Cornelia
Her pen name - Nikki Giovanni
(A) Why might Yolande have changed her name to a non de plume?
She might have adopted the nom de plume "Nikki Giovanni" because in her childhood, "Nikki" was her sister's pet name for her. Also, Giovanni was one of her father's names.
(B) How the non de plume adds to her poetry:
- It protects her from political prejudice
- It conceals her identity, to a good extent. She was a powerful writer and she wrote on sensitive topics so the use of a pen name helped continue her poetry, without obstructions from those would want to trace her from the name.
- It serves as a business name for her. A business is an entity on its own. It can sue and be sued. It stands separate from the person or owner

1. What is the main idea in High Incomes Don't Bring You Happiness"||
Answer:
The main idea that the author Caitlin Kenney seems to address in this essay seems to be that even though money has no direct relationship with the level of happiness of a person, it has some influence, to a certain extent, of making the person believe that her life is much better than that of the ones poorer than her.
Explanation:
In the study of how incomes have any impact on the overall happiness of a person, Caitlin Kenney's "High Incomes Don't Bring You Happiness" delves into what it is that makes money an important factor of our lives and do they have any connection with how people feel about their lives.
Starting the essay with the question "How much do you think it would take to make you happy?" the author implores into the issue of how high-income groups seem to be relatively happier than the ones in the lower-income groups. Referencing to the study by psychologist Daniel Kahneman and economist Angus Deaton, the study further reveals how certain amounts of income seem to have a lighter effect on people. But overall, even though money has no direct connection with how happy a person is, there is still some effect it has, like influencing people to believe that the life they live is much better than the ones lived by the poorer people.
Answer:
The main idea of the text is that money does not play an important role in the emotional well-being of people.
Explanation:
"High Incomes Don't Bring You Happiness" is an article written by Caitlin Kenney. The article is based on the answers of psychologist Daniel Kahneman and economist Angus Deaton, who provides an insight on how much money or high salary plays a role in making a person happy.
According to the study, researchers have found that people's emotional well-being actually decreases when a person begins to earn more than $75,000 per annum. The researchers says that it is important to have a balance between emotional well-being and life evaluation, but when a person's income is equal or above $75,000 per annum, than their emotional well-being decreases. So, to be happy money is not a vital part but how we define happiness.
So, the correct answer would be that money does not play a major role in emotional well-being of people.
