: Africans’ greatest problem was the incursion of the white men tino Africa many decades ago, even though many European authors described Africa as darkness before the coming of the white man, the natural growth that had been established in many African kingdoms was aborted as the white men brought and imposed another culture upon Africa. The Odo masquerade cult has outlived the colonial invasion of Africa and is still serving as a worship and as a cultural system. The objective of this study is to examine the relevance of Odo masquerade cult in this present age. The Modernization Theory is adopted as the theoretical framework of the study while content analysis was utilized as research method. The findings include that Odo Masquerade is a cult, a culture, a form of religion and a masquerade. The paper recommends the reform of the practice of Odo Masquerade cult to be relevant in this present age and be a tool for sustainable development. The modernization process is to shield the tradition from all the practice or tenets that are contending and inimical with the present development of today.

: This study explores the representations of British cultural memory and identity in two British Poems—Kipling’s ‘The White Man’s burden’ and Lord Byron’s ‘The Prisoner of Chillon’, with the aim of demonstrating that, as ‘fictions of memory’ these literary works teem with a memory of British political/imperial history in the form of linguistic parameters, ideological and cultural discourses, myths, images and mainly metaphors of imperial history or what most critics generally refer to as, ‘fictions of empire’ or ‘metaphors of empire’. The selected texts from the British colonial context are linked by their historical affinity to

: Metaphor and metonymy, which are figures of speech as well as means of cognition and ways of thinking, are commonly used in literary works, allowing authors to better express themselves and helping readers appreciate the charm of language. In order to have a better understanding of how they add to the cultural connotations of literary works and expand readers’ cognition, this article selects typical sentences from Chi ZiJian Prose featured by vivid and poetic language and analyzes how metaphor and metonymy, as important rhetorical devices and ways of thinking, act as active roles in adding luster to literary works and helping readers grasp the spirit and emotion of the author and in return, further broaden their perceptions by creating extensive connections. Therefore, readers are supposed to utilize their past cognitive experience and fully exert their imagination to find similarities and build connections, project their knowledge and experience from one domain to the other, understand the hidden meaning and thus the cognitive purposes can be achieved. The analysis of this study also places emphasis on the cultural background and the intentionality of the author because words and sentences can not be isolated from the context or it can be interpreted in many different ways.
