Civil Peace


1.  Jonathan is respectable and optimistic.
He exchanges the Biafrin money for Nigerian money.
This money was stolen.

3.  The story is optimistic and shows that Jonathan appreciates what he has.
His family is important to him and he supports them before, during, and after the war.
When he deals with the thieves he is calm.
Jon says that losing the money isn't a big deal; he didn't have it yesterday and he was doing fine, then he doesn't need it today.

4.  Everything happens for a reason.

5.  It says that ordinary civilians had to fend for themselves and somehow they made it.

7.  If Jon was in Obi's position in "Dead Men's Path" he would have handled the conflict with the priest a lot better.  He would have listened and probably solved the conflict.

Dead Men's Path


1. After the supervisor files his report I think Michael Obi will be fired.
The path that goes through the school grounds connects the village shrine with their place of burial.
After Obi refuses to reopen the passage the school's grounds ruined.

2.  I think the villagers were both justified and not in their actions because they had a right to be mad at Obi for closes a path that is extremely important to them, but they have no right in destroying the school property.

3.  Michael Obi's performance as headmaster of the village school receives a 7 out of 10 from me because he had good ideas, was enthusiastic, seems to care about the students, but he doesn't care about the villagers' beliefs, and he creates huge amounts of tension between the school and the village.

5. The relationship between Michael Obi and his wife Nancy is newly wedish.  Nancy wants to help and please Michael; she even picks up on some of his habits and be.liefs.

6.  I don't think anything would have happened to the school grounds if the young village woman had not died.

The Ramayana

Rama fighting Ravana

1. I don't have a reaction to the battle between Rama and Ravana. Rama and Ravana use bows and arrows, but also supernatural powers.  Rama used the Brahmasthra, invoked all its power, and sent it at Ravana's heart; his most vulnerable spot.  Rama treated Ravana with honor and respect after killing him.

2.  I think Rama is able to defeat Ravana because Ravana is too full of rage to realize he hadn't strengthened his heart; he left a vulnerable spot and didn't stay level headed, therefore he was careless.

4.  Rama respects others, even his enemies; gives Ravana a chance to heal after he fainted.  Rama stays calm and level headed in times of war.  After Rama kills Ravana he tells Ravana's brother to honor Ravana and cherish his memory.  Rama's heroic code is to honor the dead, enemies or not, respect others, and stay level headed and calm at all times.

5.  I don't think Ravana is heroic; I think he's short tempered and rather arrogant. Those are not heroic qualities.

7.  Rama and Arjuna from the "Mahabarata" are both focused and level headed when necessary, for example when Arjuna must focus solely on his target that's all he sees, he is completely focused, as is Rama when he's fighting Ravana.
