Hello ,Readers warmly welcome to all in my blog .so, this was a task given by Dilipsir on a very famous Author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie . Here we supposed to listen her 3 videos,her speech and we have to apply in our syllabus and suppose to write our view on her life as well as upon literature.
• About Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie:-
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (born 15 September 1977)is a Nigerian writer whose 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 critically acclaimed young anglophone authors [who] is succeeding in attracting a new generation of readers to African literature"
Now, let's talk about her videos :-
1) Talk on importance of Story / Literature:-
• In this particular video the speaker shows the importance of literature very well. Firstly she describes her childhood and from where she comes. Through the video we can find out that she was a very early reader as well as writer. She was very much attracted towards writing and literature. She belongs to middle class Nigerian Family. She has a black skin here she reffered chocolaty color of her body. Actually I can feel that what is the life and conditions of having black skin. In Africa there haven't any kind of race issue. In beginning she portrayed her childhood that how she grown up. Having a black skin ,we have to tolerate of superior people; it becoming a universal problem of this particular scenario.As a female writer with black skin to opens up her own self was a very good things. With this point I want to say that if there is this kind of Author and they are going to write upon it and it creates history or literature of that kind of grous or people.If there are this kind of writer only then we can read it anytime, anywhere and we can come to know about her struggles ; next generation should also have aware about it.As she says that she doesn't believe that kind of her people have space in literature she can't believe. I studied the "BLACK SKIN, WHITE MASK" by Frantz Fanon which also deal with mainly racism where we can see how White or superior people ruled over Black or lowerclass people.As my point of view to having black skin and if we are writing anything then we have to face alot of difficulties and have to fight always for our rights.She also deal with Migration process and when she goes to America how she feel there and what problems she faced there? If I seriously say then I really like her ideas and views about this kind of people.
• In the second video she talks about some very interesting thing. She is referring here Feminism ,all called her as a faminine. Here the one most good thing was she directly touch upon our heart as she focuses on reality,she talks about the reality in which the womens are living,their issues, problems,which kind of place they are getting in our society or nation.She talks with feminine perspective but she said what was truth . As a feminist writer she is not only taking side of women. If I give a vary live example then even if in family there was a baby girl born then they distribute the "JALEBIES" and in case there was a boy then they will distribute the "PENDAS". There were many differences in growing or taking care of children.She refers her school's one incident where because of some reason she doesn't choose as Monitor. She said there were more population of Womens but in real they are not getting such kind of respect or some higher place in real life.In Business if the men and woman both have done same work still men paid more rather than women. So,we can't find similarities between them. Seriously Women do whatever but they can't take place of men ,this kind of old rigidity was also here.With very humorous way she speaks all what she want to against men's society.
• In the last video she addresses the Students at Harward, Cambridge University. Where she gives some motivation and asked about writing. She says if our writing was not praising or recommended then also stuck with your ideas.If we are real and we have confidence on our writing then we should write and expose it to the world.So, at last I like to conclude that she was a very influential writer of Nigeria and she has a power in her speech to speak truth of whatever happens with her . As a black skin representator she presents herself very well.
Thank you.......
