No, in this case "paragraph" would not be capitalized because it is not part of the proper name or title of that paragraph.
Of course! Please let me know which information or details you would like condensed into a paragraph, and I will do my best to provide a concise summary for you.
Eliminating sentence 3 would improve the paragraph by enhancing the flow and clarity of the content. This would prevent any potential confusion or digression from the main topic, allowing for a more focused and coherent presentation of ideas.
A limited paragraph topic refers to a specific subject that a paragraph focuses on. It helps to stay focused on a single idea, ensuring clarity and coherence in writing. By restricting the scope of discussion, a limited paragraph topic allows for a more in-depth exploration of a particular point.
Yes, you can use "therefore" with a comma at the beginning of a paragraph. The comma is used to separate the transition word "therefore" from the rest of the sentence or paragraph, signaling a conclusion or a consequence that follows from the preceding information.
The District Commissioner treats Okonkwo's suicide with amusement and finds it an interesting curiosity which would be worth a paragraph in the book he is writing. He is relieved that he does not have to deal with arresting and hanging Okonkwo, as Okonkwo has already done it for him.
The District Commissioner appeared to receive the men warmly, asking if they would tell him what had happened. The Commissioner told one of the messengers to bring his men in to hear the story. However, this was a trap, and Okonkwo and the other 5 tribesman were handcuffed. They were told that they would be imprisoned, with a fine of 200 bags of cowries.
When the commissioner found out Okonkwo was dead, he relaxed as his problem was solved, and he and his men would not have to fight anyone. Further, he switched into a scholarly mode, trying to learn about the tribe's customs.
Although this is debatable, the anticlimax would probably everything that followed Okonkwo's killing of the messenger, including the escape of the other four messengers, the hanging of Okonkwo, and the Commissioner's final interaction with Okonkwo.
Only Obierika's reaction is shown in Things Fall Apart. Obierika is driven to despiar and anger at the District Commissioner and his men. He considers Okonkwo one of the greatest men in Umuofia. Later, in Arrow of God, it is revealed that Okonkwo was lionized as the symbol of the pride of Umuofia and the Igbo as a whole. Okonkwo rejects living in a world where he would have to sacrifice his pride and demean himself before a greater colonial power.
This would depend on the incident.This might refer to any of:The burning of the churchThe killing of the messengerDiscovering Okonkwo had been hangedSee related questions.
The last paragraph centers around the Commissioner in Lower Niger. There are 179 words in the paragraph. There are 800 characters without spaces. There are 978 characters with spaces. There are 12 sentences There is one sentence fragment in the paragraph. There are 66 a's 12 b's 22 c's 29 d's 91 e's 19 f's 17 g's 61 h's 61 i's 0 j's 8 k's 25 l's 26 m's 51 n's 63 o's 13 p's 0 q's 44 r's 38 s's 82 t's 23 u's 6 v's 18 w's 0 x's 8 y's 1 z. There are 3 commas. The commissioner went away. It doesn't specifically say where the commissioner went away to, or away from. One could assume the author was talking about away from the messenger who spoke last. However, the commissioner could also be going away from Obierika, Okonkwo's best friend who continues to drown himself in remorse. He could simply be going away from Okonkwo's body. He could be going away from all of these. The commissioner is a man, as shown by the use of masculine pronouns, him, he. The commissioner has soldiers. He has multiple soldiers. He probably has more soldiers than are immediately stated there. He has at least 4 soldiers. It doesn't say if the messenger is included as a soldier. He probably brought multiple soldiers since he didn't know if Okonkwo would try to kill more people. It doesn't say what weapons they have. You would assume guns, but it could also be knives. Maybe they have guns and knives. Perhaps they also have hammers. It doesn't say what type of uniforms they wear, but since they're soldiers you assume that they would wear uniforms for easy identification. The commissioner has worked for many years to bring 'civilization' to Africa. It makes you wonder what civilization is. If the civilization in Africa was considered true civilization, could he bring it back to Europe? Does this imply there is no civilization in different parts of Africa? If other countries brought civilization to Africa would it compete with his civilization? Would he consider these other civilizations civilization? Achebe used the words 'different parts'. This does imply that there is more than 1 part. Indeed, the use of 'different parts' implicitly implies at least three different parts of Africa. One wonders what the commissioner considers parts. Or are these parts as considered by the author? Perhaps the commissioner's and author's definition of the word 'parts' differ. One could be talking about different landscapes, such as desert, lakes, tundra, whereas another could be talking about geographic parts. As the author is speaking we have to assume the author's definition, which is not implicitly defined in the paragraph. This sentence also implies that the commissioner is not from these parts of Africa. It could be assumed that the commissioner is from Europe, though that may not be true. The Commissioner might be from Northern Africa, or other 'civilized' areas of Africa, such as Egypt. Indeed, the District Commissioner might even be African, or Middle Eastern as opposed to the commonly assumed Caucasian. The commissioner has learned many things during these years. This leads you to believe that the Commissioner is an educated man. He believes social status can be lost through actions. Okonkwo hanged himself in a tree. In order to cut him down, you would need a knife of some sort, perhaps a machete. The Comissioner thinks about writing his book. It seems that he has not started writing the book yet, or is maybe perhaps only at the note taking portion of his book writing exercise. He believes that every day brings new material to his book. Notice how the Commissioner talks about putting Okonkwo in merely a paragraph in his book. However, Okonkwo is the star of this book! The commissioner uses the thought a reasonable paragraph. One now wonders what makes up a 'reasonable' paragraph. Is there such a thing as an unreasonable paragraph? The Commissioner refers to the Igbo as 'primitive,' and claims that they could undergo 'Pacification'. The title of the book seems to imply the necessity of pacifying the tribes.
The Commissioner arranged a meeting between 6 heads of Umuofia including Okonkwo and himself. However, this meeting was a trap, and he swiftly imprisoned the men, ordering a fine of 200 bags of cowries to be paid, or they would be hanged. The men were beaten badly during their imprisonment.
Some consequences in "Things Fall Apart" include Okonkwo's exile from his village after accidentally killing a clansman, the colonization and introduction of Christianity leading to societal and cultural changes in Igbo society, and Okonkwo's ultimate downfall and suicide due to his inability to adapt to these changes.
Okonkwo becomes a father to Ikemefuna, and Ikemefuna calls Okonkwo father. Ikemefuna is like the second man in the house, the closest to Okonkwo's personality, and helps to develop Nwoye's manhood. Okonkwo likes Ikemefuna, but does not show his feelings towards Ikemefuna because to do so would be unmanly.
Okonkwo likely shivered because the last time Ezeudu visited him, he predicted that Okonkwo would have a severe loss, which was later confirmed when Okonkwo's gun exploded, accidentally killing Ezeudu's son. This memory would have triggered fear and anxiety in Okonkwo, as it reminded him of his impending misfortune.
The commissioner came to Iguedo in "Things Fall Apart" to investigate the killing of a tribal leader by the villagers. He was also interested in gaining information about the Igbo society and culture for the purpose of colonial administration.
