Answer:

In Achebe´s Things Fall Apart, Okonkwo finds his son Nwoye´s signs of laziness "disquieting" because it reminds him of his father

Explanation:

Even as a  man, he remembers as a little boy  how he suffered on hearing  a playmate call   his  father, Unoka,  was an "agbala" - a woman. His father´s gentleness and idleness made Okonkwo abhor anything that reminded him of Unoka. He believed that  a man had to instill fear to be respected. In Umofia, the fearlessness in war was highly respected therefore, the love for war and violence were his governing spirit.

When he noticed his father´s traits in his eldest son, Nwoye,  he becomes "disquieted" for he was ruled by one passion - hate everything his father had loved.

Dorothea Lange believed it was important to record what her subjects said. She noted their exact words whenever she could, and sent them with the accompanying photographs to the government.

One of Lange's best-known photographs is Migrant Mother. Lange met this woman and her children on a rainy day in March 1936. They were barely surviving in a tent that stood on a wet field. They were cold, hungry, and without much hope, since the crops were frozen. Lange sensed that the mother's face could tell the story of thousands of other mothers with hungry children. She took five photographs of her, each one successively closer to her face. Then she brought the photos to a San Francisco newspaper. The newspaper printed two of Lange's photos with the news that the U.S. government had decided to send 20,000 pounds of food to the 2,500 migrants at the camp. This was a great victory for Lange because her pictures had helped to prod the government into action.

THE KNIGHT'S TALE

1A knight there was, and that a worthy man,
That from the time that he first began
To riden out, he loved chivalry,
Truth and honour, freedom and courtesy.
5Full worthy was he in his Lorde's war,
And thereto had he ridden, no man farre,
As well in Christendom as in Heatheness,
And ever honour'd for his worthiness
At Alisandre he was when it was won.
10Full often time he had the board begun
Above alle nations in Prusse.
In Lettowe had he reysed and in Russe,
No Christian man so oft of his degree.
In Grenade at the siege eke had he be
15Of Algesir, and ridden in Belmarie.
At Leyes was he, and at Satalie,
When they were won; and in the Greate Sea
At many a noble army had he be.
At mortal battles had he been fifteen,
20And foughten for our faith at Tramissene.
In listes thries, and aye slain his foe.
This ilke worthy knight had been also
Some time with the lord of Palatie,
Against another heathen in Turkie:
25And evermore he had a sovereign price.
And though that he was worthy he was wise,
And of his port as meek as is a maid.
He never yet no villainy ne said
In all his life, unto no manner wight.
30He was a very perfect gentle knight.
But for to telle you of his array,
His horse was good, but yet he was not gay.
Of fustian he weared a gipon,
Alle besmotter'd with his habergeon,
35For he was late y-come from his voyage,
And wente for to do his pilgrimage.

With him there was his son, a younge SQUIRE,
A lover, and a lusty bacheler,
With lockes cruller as they were laid in press.
40Of twenty year of age he was I guess.
Of his stature he was of even length,
And wonderly deliver, and great of strength.
And he had been some time in chevachie,
In Flanders, in Artois, and Picardie,
45And borne him well, as of so little space,
In hope to standen in his lady's grace.
Embroider'd was he, as it were a mead
All full of freshe flowers, white and red.
Singing he was, or fluting all the day;
50He was as fresh as is the month of May.
Short was his gown, with sleeves long and wide.
Well could he sit on horse, and faire ride.
He coulde songes make, and well indite,
Joust, and eke dance, and well pourtray and write.
55So hot he loved, that by nightertale
He slept no more than doth the nightingale.
Courteous he was, lowly, and serviceable,
And carv'd before his father at the table.

The telephone rang inside, startlingly, and as Daisy shook her head decisively at Tom the subject of the stables, in fact all subjects, vanished into air. Among the broken fragments of the last five minutes at table I remember the candles being lit again, pointlessly, and I was conscious of wanting to look squarely at every one, and yet to avoid all eyes. I couldn’t guess what Daisy and Tom were thinking, but I doubt if even Miss Baker, who seemed to have mastered a certain hardy skepticism, was able utterly to put this fifth guest’s shrill metallic urgency out of mind. To a certain temperament the situation might have seemed intriguing—my own instinct was to telephone immediately for the police. The phone calls that Tom receives during the dinner are an indicator that

I saw the order.”

“Only a picket post half a mile out, on the railroad, and a single sentinel at this end of the bridge.”

What is the theme of this poem?

Children
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Come to me, O ye children!
For I hear you at your play
And the questions that perplexed me
Have vanished quite away.
5 Ye open the eastern windows,
That look towards the sun,
Where thoughts are singing swallows
And the brooks of morning run.
In your hearts are the birds and the sunshine
10 In your thoughts the brooklet's flow,
But in mine is the wind of Autumn
And the first fall of the snow.
Ah! What would the world be to us
If the children were no more?
15 We should dread the desert behind us
Worse than the dark before.
What the leaves are to the forest,
With light and air for food,
Ere their sweet and tender juices
20 Have been hardened into wood,
That to the world are children;
Through them it feels the glow
Of a brighter and sunnier climate
Than reaches the trunks below.
25 Come to me, O ye children!
And whisper in my ear
What the birds and the winds are singing
In your sunny atmosphere
For what are all our contrivings,
30 And the wisdom of our books,
When compared with your caresses,
And the gladness of your looks?
Ye are better than all the ballads
That ever were sung or said;
35 For ye are living poems,
And all the rest are dead.

Which sentences in these excerpts reflect the idea that war affects not only the minds of the combatants but also their physical reactions?
Ambush
by Tim O'Brien (excerpt)

There was no sound at all--none that I can remember. In a way, it seemed, he was part of the morning fog, or my own imagination, but there was also the reality of what was happening in my stomach. I had already pulled the pin on a grenade. I had come up to a crouch. It was entirely automatic. I did not hate the young man; I did not see him as the enemy; I did not ponder issues of morality or politics or military duty. I crouched and kept my head low. I tried to swallow whatever was rising from my stomach, which tasted like lemonade, something fruity and sour. I was terrified. There were no thoughts about killing. The grenade was to make him go away--just evaporate--and I leaned back and felt my mind go empty and then felt it fill up again.


Symptoms
by John Steinbeck (excerpt)

They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore. This was considered heroic in them. It was thought that they had seen or done was so horrible that they didn't want to bring it back to haunt them or their listeners. But many of these men had no such consideration in any other field.

Only recently have I found what seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the answer is simple. They did not and do not remember--and the worse the battle was, the less they remember.

In all kinds of combat the whole body is battered by emotion. The ductless glands pour their fluids into the system to make it able to stand up to the great demand on it. Fear and ferocity are products of the same fluid.

Everybody remembers the time of Governor Belcher, when money was particularly scarce. It was a time of paper credit. The country had been deluged with government bills.


He even talked of the expediency of reviving the persecution of Quakers and Anabaptists.
