________ is the location of the action of the plot

A modest two-room hut built of mud and roofed with straw graciously sheltered the Mensahs. One of the rooms advertised itself as a living room. The kind earthenware pot willingly kept company with four ever-smiling stools. The pot eternally contained cool water for guests. The second room was a warm-hearted bedroom without a bed. The poor pair had to sleep on bare straw mats on the polished dirt floor. Some over washed rags deputized for blankets and sheets and pillows. Two strong dry logs, facing each other like bitter rivals burned themselves out at night, not merely to keep the couple warm but mainly to ward off hungry mosquitoes and other hostile pests.<br><br> There was no door to ward off the cold night air. Some rude devices, however, were contrived to keep the room quite safe from prying eyes and curious domestic animals. Would any thief be ever tempted to peep into <strong>such a rude room of such a poor pair</strong>?

The rhetorical question that ends the passage stresses the

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: The Tempest<br><br> Silence! One word more<br> Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What!<br> An advocate for an impostor! Hush!<br> (Act I, Scene Two, lines 478 - 480)

The “impostor” is

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: The Tempest<br><br> You cram these words into mine ears against<br> The stomach of my sense. Would l had never<br> Married my daughter there! For, coming thence,<br> My son is lost, and, in my rate, she too,<br> (Act II, Scene One, lines 99 - 102)<br>

The setting is

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: The Tempest<br><br> You cram these words into mine ears against<br> The stomach of my sense. Would l had never<br> Married my daughter there! For, coming thence,<br> My son is lost, and, in my rate, she too,<br> (Act II, Scene One, lines 99 - 102)<br>

Where did the wedding take place?

Proud mothers of the coming age,<br> ‘Tis good to find you now engage<br> Your minds and time your lives to raise<br> Above the level of bygone days<br> <br> ‘Tis good to see you play your part<br> With spirit and undaunted heart,<br> It gives young Afric’s throbbing soul<br> A glimpse of a bright and glorious goal<br> <br> God bless you, mothers of our race,<br> God cause to shine on you His face;<br> And give you strength and all you crave<br> To bring forth sons and daughters brave.

The literary device used in line 7 is

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: The Tempest<br><br> Silence! One word more<br> Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What!<br> An advocate for an impostor! Hush!<br> (Act I, Scene Two, lines 478 - 480)

The speaker’s utterance betrays his

The first four lines of the Shakespearean sonnet rhyme

Pan, O great Pan, to thee'<br> Thus do we sing!<br> Thou who keep’st chaste and free<br> As the young spring<br> Ever be thy honour spake<br> From that place the morn is broke<br> To the place day doth unyoke

Pan is used here as

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: The Tempest<br><br> You cram these words into mine ears against<br> The stomach of my sense. Would l had never<br> Married my daughter there! For, coming thence,<br> My son is lost, and, in my rate, she too,<br> (Act II, Scene One, lines 99 - 102)<br>

“.... in my rate” means

A dirge is a poem sung

Proud mothers of the coming age,<br> ‘Tis good to find you now engage<br> Your minds and time your lives to raise<br> Above the level of bygone days<br> <br> ‘Tis good to see you play your part<br> With spirit and undaunted heart,<br> It gives young Afric’s throbbing soul<br> A glimpse of a bright and glorious goal<br> <br> God bless you, mothers of our race,<br> God cause to shine on you His face;<br> And give you strength and all you crave<br> To bring forth sons and daughters brave.

The rhyme scheme is

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: The Tempest<br><br> Silence! One word more<br> Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What!<br> An advocate for an impostor! Hush!<br> (Act I, Scene Two, lines 478 - 480)

They only wear fate, hard work, perseverance, anonymity and time. Yet, they are passionate, caring, visionary, sincere, determined and honest. These qualities mold those that are special without being aware. I strive to stay true to some of these qualities that I admire. To find a person with a few of these qualities is rare these days. To know someone who has all of them is amazing and a true blessing. [Excerpt from Tomorrow Left Us Yesterday-Tayo Olafioye]
