1) AFRICAN DRAMA: The play as a tragedy is discussed as follows: there are many losses of lives in the play. many people lose their lives as a result of the clashes between kindo (the cheif warrior) and the stranger( mr. whitehead). Those tragic events that happen make the drama a tragedy. soko was killed by kindo. there was a slaughtering of other people. many tragic events happened in the village. there was bloodshed. lives were lost. The tragedy in the blood of stranger is not just man's tragedy; it is a tragedy of the entire village. The tragedy begins with maligu deceiving the entire village by conspiring with soko(the chief priest). we see tragedy in the rape of wara. The tragedy is also seen in the killing of parker and the whitehead by kindo which leads to the barnishment of kindo by the king. The entire village starts to mourn the losses of the lives of thei rpeople. there was wailing every where. it is greed that pushes malign to think of deceiving his village. The illicit transaction between malign, soko and the whitehead brought alot of tragedies in the entire village ==================
5) it is a truism that hansberry uses mr. Linder' s character to portray racial discrimination. The caretakers of the younger' s new neighbourhood use mr . Linder to prevent the family from relocating to their new house. This is because the neighbourhood is all - white residence , and for color reasons, mr. Linder is used by the clybrourne park improvement association to bribe the younget' s family which threatens to tear then apart and the value for which it stands. By younger' s family responding to such racial discrimination with defiance ,demonstrates that the best way to fight racisim is open resistance against it . In the light of the above, racism must abhorred by everybody. Conversely , we should show erual love to one another irrespective of tribes,color and religious afiliations . ==================
2) kindo is the chief warrior of the village of mando and son of the king . Kindo , right from the biginning kicks against evil plans of maligu and soko to bring a stranger to their village . The altitude of kindo drfines him as a crusader against the injustice planted by the two elders . As a chief warrior and heir apparant, he likes the welfare of his people and fights towards ensuring there security. Kindo is a true costodian of tradition as it is evidenced in his defence of their custom. He stands as an opposition to maligu and soko . He murders parker, as a result, he was banished from the land. But before his departure he killed white head ==================
9) i) Metaphor: the people 's eyes are as cold as ice. This means that there is no warmth or real feeling in the words that they say , or how they behave. This metaphor literally allows you to visualise a block of ice, cold and unwelcoming . ii)simile : stanza 4, line 20- 21 emphasises the constant changes in the personaae ' s face. If u think of how often aa woman changes her dress, then that ishow the personae adjusts his /her personality to suit an audience. The list of faces that follow this line emphasis this point. Stanza 6 , lines 38- 40 compares the personae' s faces in a portrait. If u think of a snake words such as sneaky and deceitful come to mind . Therefore, the implication is that the personae is fake, just like the people he addresses iii)repetition : this phrase is repeated atbeginning and the end of the poem. This usually signals of a fairy tale . Therefore , it is implied that the personae is nostalgic about the past ================================
