Discuss the theme of outcasts in these chapters (17-19) in at least two hundred words. What does it mean that the church takes in people that the clan rejects? How is Nwoye an outcast? How does the clan treat the missionaries as outcasts?
Answer:
The missionaries request a piece of land on which to build a church. The village leaders and elders offer them a plot in the Evil Forest, believing that the missionaries will not accept it. To the elders’ amazement, the missionaries rejoice in the offer. But the elders are certain that the forest’s sinister spirits and forces will kill the missionaries within daysThe church wins many converts from the efulefu (titleless, worthless men). One day, several osu, or outcasts, come to church. Many of the converts move away from them, though they do not leave the service. Afterward, there is an uproar, but Mr. Kiaga firmly refuses to deny the outcasts membership to the church. He argues that they will not die if they cut their hair or break any of the other taboos that have been imposed upon them. Mr. Kiaga’s steadfast conviction persuades most of the other converts not to reject their new faith simply because the outcasts have joined them. The osu soon become the most zealous members of the church. To the clan’s disbelief, one boasts that he killed the sacred royal python. Okonkwo urges Mbanta to drive the Christians out with violence, but the rulers and elders decide to ostracize them instead. Okonkwo bitterly remarks that this is a “womanly” clan. After announcing the new policy of ostracism, the elders learn that the man who boasted of killing the snake has died of an illness. The villagers’ trust in their gods is thereby reaffirmed, and they cease to ostracize the converts.
Summary: Chapter 19
Okonkwo’s seven years of exile in Mbanta are drawing to an end. Before he returns to Umuofia, he provides a large feast for his mother’s kinsmen. He is grateful to them but secretly regrets the missed opportunity to have further increased his status and influence among his own clan. He also regrets having spent time with such un-masculine people. At the feast, one man expresses surprise that Okonkwo has been so generous with his food and another praises Okonkwo’s devotion to the kinship bond. He also expresses concern for the younger generation, as Christianity is winning people away from their families and traditions.
Analysis: Chapters 17–19
Nwoye is drawn to Christianity because it seems to answer his long-held doubts about his native religion, specifically the abandonment of twin newborns and Ikemefuna’s death. Furthermore, Nwoye feels himself exiled from his society because of his disbelief in its laws, and the church offers refuge to those whom society has cast out. The church’s value system will allow twins to live, for example, which offers comfort to the pregnant woman who has had to endure the casting away to die of her four sets of newborn twins. Similarly, men without titles turn to Christianity to find affirmation of their individual worth. The osu are able to discard others’ perception of them as members of an ostracized caste and enter the church as the equals of other converts.
Okonkwo, on the other hand, has good reason to reject Christianity. Should Mbanta not drive the missionaries away, his killing of Ikemefuna would lose part of its religious justification. The damage to his relationship with Nwoye also seems more pointless than before. Both matters become his mistake rather than the result of divine will. Moreover, men of high status like Okonkwo view the church as a threat because it undermines the cultural value of their accomplishments. Their titles and their positions as religious authorities and clan leaders lose force and prestige if men of lower status are not there—the great cannot be measured against the worthless if the worthless have disappeared.

i need help on doing my paper tthe topic is shoukd there be free edcuation which i already chose on yes there should im giving 24 points
Answer:
Hi there,the answer is
yes
Explanation:

have a great day :]
Explanation:
since you choose yes, I suppose you have a reason for saying so but you're are not sure of how to covey your thoughts. Just think about it.
what would it be like if education is free? Its sounds interesting and attractive right?

moreover, I know there are scholarship for students. Have you ever wondered if those scholarship packages are available to everyone?
I know how it feels to have the zeal, determination and passion to learn but you don't have the easiest means to get educated.
The World we are living in is growing in every point especially in the technological sector. We need more educated people, those who are strong, talented to get access to equipping ourselves. Education should be made available to all.
Education brings great form of knowledge and it is never a waste.
listen, when we invest in education we invest in knowledge and when we do this we get powerful results in the future.
Say yes to free education because an investment in education is a strong profit.
people's lives and dreams should not be shattered because of no access to education.
we are in this together and we will make it together.

Explain why English is important?
This language plays an important role in our life, as it is used as a common language of communication by many people around the world. It is also the most spoken language. It is necessary in our education. It is a must for getting good job also. Like any other language, there are grammatical nuances that become more pronounced when written than when spoken. Much of our day-to-day conversation is not correct in a formal, grammatical sense. In order to communicate properly in writing, it is important to study the English language and to understand the rules that govern it (although there is no guarantee that the rules won't have changed by the time you complete school). Once a student gets later on in secondary school and certainly in college, the phrase 'English class' means not so much the study of grammar or the language itself at all, but rather literature that has been written in or translated into English. The upper-level college classes have more specific names that identify what exactly is being studied, but usually the classes are all grouped under the English Department. If you're in a well-taught English class, it also means writing analysis of the literature being read, and putting to use those formal communication skills learned earlier.
Answer:
Explanation:
Knowing English increases your chances of getting a good job in your home country or finding work abroad in a multinational company. It is also the language of international communication, the media and the internet, so learning English is essential for socializing, entertaining and working!

There were no attendants at home; they had absconded to make merry in honour of the time. I had told them that I should not return until the morning and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house. These orders were sufficient, I well knew, to insure their immediate disappearance, one and all, as soon as my back was turned. The phrase “not to stir from the house” most likely refers to Montresor’s _____. 1. direction that no one be allowed in 2. command that they remain at home 3. instructions that the attendants go to carnival 4. expectation that the home be thoroughly cleaned
Answer:
The phrase "not to stir from the house" refers to Montressor's command that they remain at home
Explanation:
The phrase above is used by Montressor in the excerpt to command his attendants not to leave the house but instead to remain there until his return.
Unfortunately, the attendants immediately turned their backs after Montressor had left the house and they went out, leaving the home unattended.
Answer:
the answer definitely isnt "I had told them that I should not return until the morning, and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house"
