Hello readers!
                 Here, is my intend to write this blog is to as a task of thinking activity,Listen talks by chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and gave response to these brief talks as below. .. 


 Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie born on 15 september 1977) is a Nigerian novelist, writer of short stories, and nonfiction. She has written the novels like,

  • Purple Hibiscus(2003)

Talk on  importance of story/Literature
    In this talk - Novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice-and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country  we risk a critical misunderstanding.

1. The Danger of Single Story : 



2. We Should All be Feminist :



3. Importance of Truth in Post-truth Era :


  
My thinking activity would be my response to these brief talks on......

- whether you liked or disliked the views? 
-why you liked or disliked? 
-which views you like or disliked? 
- Has these views helped in better understanding of literature and life? 
    

  I like the views of chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is that, she said that her characters are white, playing in snow and eat an Apple and the ginger beer in her writing,when she was an age of seven, but she says that she never test ginger beer and no need to talk about weather as well as her people are the chocolate colour and suffering a lot because of poverty and deases like aids there is no treatment facilities, so she is in the favour of African real situation how they are faced and their people's nature is different from Western culture or background as well.
   Yes, these views has helped in better understanding of literature and life. Through this three videos we can have better understanding of African people and the Chimamanda's views on feminism and feminist perspectives involved with her childhood also, which all can help us to better understanding of literature and life.


Thank you..... .
