The Story of An African Farm
He hopes to persuade Otto to allow him to move in with him.
He fears he has been accidentally locked in the storeroom.
He wants to convince Tant Sannie that he is truly devastated over the death of his wife.
He believes he can frighten the members in the household to do as he wishes.
B?
For anyone else that see's yhis thread the answer is c (He wants to convince Tant Sannie that he is truly devastated over the death of his wife.)
No, the correct answer is A - "He hopes to persuade Otto to allow him to move in with him."
In "The Story of An African Farm," Bonaparte's actions of repeatedly banging his head against the storeroom wall are a desperate attempt to gain sympathy and convince his cousin Otto to allow him to move in with him. Bonaparte is portrayed as a manipulative character who uses dramatic gestures and emotional manipulation to get what he wants.
To confirm whether Bonaparte chooses to repeatedly bang his head against the storeroom wall in "The Story of An African Farm" in order to convince Tant Sannie that he is truly devastated over the death of his wife, we can refer to the text or any analysis of the book.
That question is pretty much a "surface level" question -- meaning the answer should be very clear if you've read the story.
So if B is what you remember after reading the story, then go with it.
I doubt anyone here has read this story, but it sounds like a good one! Here's a link to the online book:
