Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Welcome readers !


"The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are. Imagine how much happier we would be, how much freer to be our true individual selves, if we didn’t have the weight of gender expectations".

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie :- 
                        
            
                     Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is born on 15 September 1977.  She is Nigerian writer was works range from novels to short stories to nonfiction. She was described in The times literary supplement as "the most prominent" of a "procession of a critically acclaimed young anglophone authors who is succeeding in attracting a new generation of readers to African literature ". She wrote many great notable works like , 
  •  Purple Hibiscus (2003)
  • Half Of a Yellow Sun (2006)
  • Americanah (2013)
  • We Should All Be Feminist (2014)
  • The Thing Around Your Nack (2009)

           Writing style , simple her ability to develop perspective and her tone . In her all works Adichie  is able to maintain a consistent and well flushed voice- weather it's of her own or her characters. Adichi-esque writing style using the narrative . Adichie tries her best to write out multiple "stories" using different voice . 


∆ Talk on importance of Story / Literature :-



" The story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story ".


             
                     Here in the first video I like here view because she talked about very lively example of the incident. She talk about how different types of story made by people. I personally like her thoughts because that is a somehow related to our culture and society . She says that stories are matter many stories matter . Stories have been used to dispossess in malign  but stories can also be used to empower and humanize . Stories can break the dignity of people but stories can also repair the broken dignity . And at the end she end here talk with this wonderful thought " That when we reject the single story , when we realise that there is a never washing a story about influence we again a kind of Paradise" .


We Should All Be Feminist :-



                        She explained how story is a creating by people . How we differentiate the truth from various story . In this video she talked about feminist . In which she gave many example like her schooling experience and also she talked about in her country Nigeria , without male any women don't want any bar . Other things is that the marriage, if any women who not married in a proper age then that is the big problem. Another thing is that no one teach man that to be a virgin but that the same thing is  for women that she have  to be virgin . Adichie also mention that what is the barrier for women that is the culture .

∆  Talk on importance of Truth in Post-Truth Era :-



                     Yes , this all the view is very important and helpful to us in better understanding of any literary works .
