Okonkwo was popularly called the "roaring flame." as he looked into the log fire he recalled the name. he
was a flaming fire. how then could he have begotten a son like nwoye, degenerate and he
sighed heavily, and as if in sympathy the smoldering log also sighed. and immediately okonkwo's eyes were
opened and he saw the whole matter clearly. living fire begets cold, impotent ash. he sighed again, deeply.
what is the author's main purpose in using figurative language in this excerpt?
to imply okonkwo's thoughts indirectly
to explain a folktale
to avoid going into a long explanation about the father-son dynamics of okonkwo and nwoye
to entertain by using symbols and metaphors

a complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.  

to write complex sentences, we must use subordinating conjunctions.  

all the complex sentences begin with a subordinating conjunction and when it occurs, a comma must be place at the end of the dependent clause. on the contrary, if the sentence begins with an independent clause, then no comma is used.
