PLS HEL When the egwugwu destroy Mr. Smith’s church, "for the moment the spirit of the clan was pacified" (Ch. 22). Explain what the ironic implications of this statement are, since we learn the title of the book that the District Commissioner intends to write: The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger (Ch. 25).

Euphemism that ¨backfires¨ and produces irony.

Explanation

The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger

is a euphemism for using whatever force it takes to control and suppress other peoples. It backfires because the same word Pacification is used to describe a violent (non-pacific) event, by the same people who are supposed to be pacified by force, that lead surprisingly to for the moment the spirit of the clan was pacified.

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
