PLEASE HELP!!: COMPREHENSION- THINGS FALL APART CHAPTER 18 i will mark correct answer as brainliest

1.What does Mr. Kiaga mean when he says, "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh"?

2. Analyze the elder's claim that among the Ibo, "It is not our custom to fight for our gods." Why are other instances of criminal behavior, like the killing of the"daughter of Umuofia" and the murder Okonkwo committed, not handled in thesame manner?

3. After the sacred python was killed, the elders chose not to punish, but to ostracize the converts. Do you believe they were correct or incorrect in this ruling? Justify your response.

4. What evidence was given to show that the Ibo gods "were still able to fight their own battles"? Do you believe the author intends to show the gods are not powerless through this statement? Why or why not?

5. Throughout this chapter, as others counsel restraint, Okonkwo is trying to rallymen to battle. Okonkwo says, "If a man comes into my hut and defecates on the floor, what do I do? Do I shut my eyes? No! I take a stick and break his head. That is what a man does." Choose one of these two sides and defend it in a well-organized paragraph.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the eye wink at the hand; yet let that be / which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.
