paraphrase the following passage:
but to the indian there was no such thing as emptiness in the world
there was no object around him that was not alive with spirit,and earth and tree and stone and the wide scope of the heaven were tenanted with numberless supernaturals and the wandering souls of the dead. And it was only in the solitude of remote places and in the sheltering
.silence of the night that the voices of these spirits might be heard
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
2-the superficial adoption of his culture by the african iswhat the european notices with pride,and is the yardstick by which he measures the african progress towards civilization .He has been all too unaware of , more significant change . The fact ,for instance,that an urban life not only entirely disrupts the traditional family life of the african,but destroys all the practical ties that are of any significance to him ,resulting in moral and spiritual degeneration
