Growing up in a small town has given me a view that I couldn’t get from living in a big city. I live in Los Alamos New Mexico. One of the first things people notice when they get here is how dry the air is. Up here at 7,300 feet, there is virtually no humidity. We get a little bit when it rains but that doesn’t count. I was born and raised here and I like the dry air. When you breathe…

Chapter – 3(Analyses of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Works) Before analysing deeper into the concern studies, Adichie addressed on the Danger of the Single Story at the TED Talk on October 2009 is very important in understanding her views on colonialism and the misconception of Africa or for that matter Non-West by the West.

children looked strange. The tallest girl, Anna, wore black and white on either half of her body. The other girl wore a plain white mask over her face. Her name was Persephone. There was only one boy in the group, his name was Shad. “Where are we?” Anna murmured.
