America. Instead of treating girls with respect, young men are now making the assumption that they (young ladies) ought to be used as sexual toys, here to entertain and please. Unacceptably, the crux of this repulsive issue leads straight back to the growing acceptance of super-physical relations between young people. As Jeffrey Zaslow explores in his article, “Some Date: How Homecoming Is Losing Out To Hanging Out,” young people, particularly young men would rather spend their nights “hooking up and
scene even deeper. "The drums rose to a frenzy. The people surged forward. The young men who kept order flew around, waving their palm fronds. Old men nodded to the beat of the drums and remembered the days when they wrestled to its intoxicating rhythm." (Page 47) There is a lot of excitement here, everyone is really showing how they all enjoy the show. Achebe makes the mood a happy one and he even talks about the old men who used to fight as well, it's

This is very stressful for Daisy since only her beauty and wealth can bring attention of men. She cannot truly be herself because everyone loves admiring Daisy’s appearance and voice rather than who she is internally.

The birds who sang in Flanders Fields before the war continue to do so today despite the violence and bloodshed which has happened there. For the natural world, the thing is unchanged. So too, human beings have moved on from Flanders Field and the First World War. The dead who had been alive and had hopes and had been loved are now dead and buried and their heroism all but forgotten. This is the initial emotion from
Many people do not understand the true meaning behind certain quotes or messages and that is not a good thing at all. At first thought, the quote, “Well-behaved women seldom make history” can be interpreted in a negative way, but it really is not.
