The most famous of the critically acclaimed young Anglophone author's procession was described as the "Times Literary Supplement", which has managed to attract a new generation of readers. African Literature. "The American Embassy." Henry received the award. He also won the 2002 BBC World Service short story award.

Let us discuss about her videos,

(2) We should All be Feminist

(3) post truth in post truth era

The Danger of Single story :

In this video Danger of Single Story Chimamanda Nagosi Adichie describes the different types of experiences she had in her childhood. At the beginning of the video he gives an introduction about his family. Her father was a professor and mother was a professor. He read "The British and American Student Book of White and Blue Eyes. He says I love American and British books. He saves me. He belongs to a middle-class family. Then he shared the experience of his neighbor. She had a new dinner with the boy." Home: Her family was poor. Her mother said that she was very kind when she finished her meal. Then she shared her experience with her professor. Her speech shocked the American teacher, good English. He thought that Africa was a place where beautiful plants, animals and different people were treated by white Americans. Can't speak African stories are always about darkness. One day she used to visit American students and they Mana asked about blackness, she replied very simply that she had read about the American people's psycho. And she also shared her experiences about food, their lives and habits of the US and Mexican people. Shares about her different types of experiences. My view of this video is that I like the Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie view because the main reason is that he never thought about the difference between American white people and African black people. As a child, she loved British and American books. She never regretted her poverty. Many times in her life she felt embarrassed for herself by other white people but she never gave up. She continues to write and publish her books.

We should all be Feminist :

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is another video of we all should be feminists. Yes, I like this video and Chimamanda's point of view because in this video she so beautifully describes her own experiences of feminism and gender bias in her friends and childhood. Because we all know that our so-called "culture" is patriotic. Not just today but for many years, especially in Africa. Therefore, in this video Chimmanda tells her experiences that her teacher in her elementary school took an exam in her classroom and the deal would be the highest mark the student will oversee in the classroom. Chimmanda got the highest marks and one boy who got the second highest marks but the teacher had class because he was a boy. Chimamanda says she was shocked when she first heard the word "feminist" and tried to find the word in the dictionary. And he says I'm a happy feminist. Why society looks at women with so-called ideal women. Most people said that their novels were feminist novels. He then discusses marriage arrangements. Even in marriage, looking at women is quite different because after marriage, people say that she is transformative. Why women work only in the business or in society with men for cooking and as housekeepers Chimamanda says that the language of marriage is often a proprietary language rather than a partnership. And he also says that the problem of gender has been very suggestive of how we should be compared to how we are. Culture does not make people but people make culture. This is Chimamanda's view of feminism.

Importance of Truth in Post Truth era :

" Be courageous, Tell the truth "

The third video contains the words of Chimamanda Nagosi Adichie. That post is about the importance of truth in the age of truth. I love to tell her the truth in every moment and situation. In this video he says that my personal spirit has never been broken. And she also shares a very funny incident about a misspelling of her name by a woman. He says read literature, read widely, read poetry, literature and non-fiction. Make human stories central to your understanding of the world. Think of people as people. Listen to yourself on the other side or look at the visual side. There is no other side to the sun's rise or truth in the east. Whenever you wake up it is your morning. The world is calling you. So, in this video he discusses telling the truth in every area, rather than being silent.

views help you in understanding literature and life I can say that all the scenes of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie help me understand my life better because in the third video she says be courageous and tell the truth. Which helps me build my confidence. She is a black African woman so she faced many problems during her childhood in society and in schools and colleges leases. Yet she is very confident and has become a successful person in her life. I am inspired by her. And his views help me understand literature better because literature is about culture, society, politics, and Chimamanda describes the situation very simply as how we need to develop confidence.
