Answer:
Albert Chinualumogu Achebe was born on November 16, 1930, in Ogidi, a large village in Nigeria. Although he was the child of a Protestant missionary and received his early education in English, his upbringing was multicultural, as the inhabitants of Ogidi still lived according to many aspects of traditional Igbo (formerly written as Ibo) culture. Achebe attended the Government College in Umuahia from 1944 to 1947. He graduated from University College, Ibadan, in 1953. While he was in college, Achebe studied history and theology. He also developed his interest in indigenous Nigerian cultures, and he rejected his Christian name, Albert, for his indigenous one, Chinua.
In the 1950s, Achebe was one of the founders of a Nigerian literary movement that drew upon the traditional oral culture of its indigenous peoples. In 1959, he published Things Fall Apart as a response to novels, such as Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, that treat Africa as a primordial and cultureless foil for Europe. Tired of reading white men’s accounts of how primitive, socially backward, and, most important, language-less native Africans were, Achebe sought to convey a fuller understanding of one African culture and, in so doing, give voice to an underrepresented and exploited colonial subject.

Answer:
The novel, Number the Stars, centers around a girl whose friend is Jewish. It takes place during WWII when the Nazis were invading and gaining control of Europe. It is important to know the historical context of this novel as it helps the reader understand what is going on and how dire the situation was. The novel itself does not specifically state what is going on or who is in control, it is up to the reader to find out and interpret the situation at hand. For example, the main character and her Jewish friend stumble upon a Nazi soldier at one point. The Jewish girl is frightened and stands still, while her friend speaks to the soldier. If one knows about the historical context of the situation, then one can easily understand what is happening in this confrontation. The author, Lois Lowry, had written this novel in honor of her Jewish friend who lived in Denmark when the Nazis invaded Europe. Knowing the historical background of the author and her view towards the situation, the reader can better understand the situation that is being presented in the novel. The Nazis held Jews in concentration camps, killing a large number of them by the end of WWII. By knowing the dire consequences of such a situation, one can better understand the novel and the historical context behind it.
Hopefully, this helps.

Explanation:
Read this scene from The Miracle Worker Act 3.
(ANNIE is now alone on the stage. She turns, gazing around at the stripped room, bidding it silently farewell,
impassively, like a defeated general on the deserted battlefield. All that remains is a stand with a basin of
water....)
How do these stage directions add meaning to the play?
The stage directions show Annie's manner of speaking.
The stage directions illustrate the appearance of the room.
The stage directions reveal the historical time period.
The stage directions describe how characters react to Annie.
Answer:
Stage directions are the director's visualization of what should happen in the stage.
Explanation:
Stage directions let the actors or the readers know where they should be on stage. There are specific directions such as center stage, downstage left, upstage right, etc. Stage directions can also help in setting the emotional tone, rhythm, and mood of the play for the audience to capture the message and/or meta-message of the play. For the actor/reader, the stage directions can also help him/her in determining subtexts of his/her dialogues.
In the example given, the reader knows what ANNIE should do (i.e., turns, gazing around at the stripped room, bidding it silently farewell) or what emotions need to convey (i.e., impassively, like a defeated general on the deserted battlefield.).
When you combine both the actions and the emotions essential for the play, a powerful message or a metaphor will be delivered (i.e., All that remains is a stand with a basin of water) that will have a significant impact on the audience.

Which sentence best states a theme of the passage
from The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter?
Answer:
This passage is taken from the Part Two, Chapter 1, which focuses on Mick Kelly. This is the chapter in which she throws a party at her house and in which, later that night after all her guests have left, she goes for a walk and sits under the window of a rich house to listen to the music from their radio. For the first time in her life, Mick hears a symphony by Beethoven. This passage explains her reaction to the music, first as she hears it and then after it ends. There is nothing else in the story that affects Mick the way this music does; it is almost as though she is having a religious epiphany. The intensity of her reaction indicates her intensity and intelligence as a person and highlights the extent of the passion she feels about music. Mick loves it so much that after it ends, she experiences the absence as a physical "hurt."
Explanation:
This was her, Mick Kelly, walking in the daytime and by herself at night. In the hot sun and in the dark with all the plans and feelings. This music was her—the real plain her...This music did not take a long time or a short time. It did not have anything to do with time going by at all. She sat with her arms around her legs, biting her salty knee very hard. The whole world was this symphony, and there was not enough of her to listen... Now that it was over there was only her heart beating like a rabbit and this terrible hurt.
