Read the excerpt from "Civil Peace” by Chinua Achebe. He had come out of the war with five inestimable blessings—his head, his wife Maria’s head and the heads of three out of their four children. As a bonus he also had his old bicycle—a miracle too but naturally not to be compared to the safety of five human heads. Which theme does this passage convey? A family has survived the war intact. Luck will guide you to a happy ending. A bicycle should be considered a miracle. Family is the most important thing in life.
