Bayanin Amsa
The constant companion of Nnaife's family in Buchi Emecheta's The Joy of Motherhood is poverty and hunger. This is evident throughout the novel as the family struggles to make ends meet and provide for their basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing. Despite their hard work and sacrifices, they are never able to escape the cycle of poverty and are constantly plagued by hunger and want. This theme of poverty and its impact on the family is a central motif in the novel and serves as a commentary on the effects of colonialism and economic oppression on African societies.

Bayanin Amsa
Launko's "End of War" is characterized by the predominant use of paradox. Paradox is a literary device that uses seemingly contradictory or absurd statements to reveal a deeper truth or meaning. In the poem, Launko employs paradox to describe the end of war as a time of both relief and mourning, of victory and defeat. For example, the lines "And now our victors are the vanquished/ And those who threw the bombs are now buried" present a paradoxical situation of the victors being vanquished and the bomb-throwers being buried. This use of paradox emphasizes the complex and often contradictory nature of war and its aftermath.

Bayanin Amsa
In a narrative poem, the poet attempts to tell a story. The main focus of a narrative poem is to narrate or tell a story through the use of poetic devices and language. The poem may have a plot, characters, setting, and other elements of storytelling, but the poet uses poetic techniques such as meter, rhyme, imagery, and figurative language to create a unique and artistic expression of the narrative. The goal is not to describe a place or summarize a story, but to create a poetic retelling of the narrative that captures the reader's imagination and emotions.

Bayanin Amsa
Satirical writing employs irony and epigram to criticize or ridicule human behavior, social conventions, and political institutions. Irony is the use of words that convey a meaning opposite to their literal sense, while epigram is a brief, witty statement that often ends with a surprising twist. Satirical writing uses these techniques to expose the flaws, contradictions, and absurdities of the subject it targets, and to provoke reflection, amusement, or indignation in the reader. Synechdoche and onomatopoeia, on the other hand, are figures of speech that have different functions and are not specifically associated with satire. Synechdoche is a rhetorical device that uses a part of something to represent the whole or vice versa, while onomatopoeia refers to words that imitate the sounds they describe.

The physical, historical, or cultural background of a literary work is referred to as the setting. This includes the time period, location, and social environment in which the story takes place. The setting helps to establish the mood, tone, and atmosphere of the story and can influence the characters and events that occur within it. For example, a story set in a medieval castle will have a different feel and tone than one set in a modern city. The setting can also provide important context and symbolism for the story, such as a desert landscape representing a character's isolation or a bustling city symbolizing the chaos of modern life.

This is in keeping with the novel's theme of a totalitarian government that relies on perpetual war to maintain control over its citizens. The Ministry of Peace uses propaganda and censorship to manipulate public opinion and keep the population in a constant state of fear and anxiety, which helps to justify the government's actions and maintain its power.

Bayanin Amsa
The mood in the last two lines of the poem is lament. The speaker is questioning the purpose of the sun and its rays that have awakened the soldier from his eternal sleep. The use of the word "fatuous" implies that the speaker considers the sun's efforts to be foolish or pointless.

Therefore, the overall mood of the last two lines is one of lament, expressing the poet's sorrow and questioning the futility of war.

Throughout the novel, we see instances of the colonizers treating the Africans with disdain, such as when they use physical violence and intimidation to control them. The Africans are also subjected to economic exploitation, forced labor, and other forms of oppression. The colonizers see themselves as superior to the Africans and view them as being primitive and uncivilized.
