In chapters 24-40 of Americanah the theme of escapism is depicted in the life of Ifemelu, who resorts to distractions and excuses, when she is confronted with the unpleasant aspects of her life. Everything ranging from a blog, an affair, lies, and Obama are used by Ifemelu to put distance between herself and a reality that disagrees with her. The pattern starts with her shutting-out Obinze, a decision she made while feeling guilty for taking the job with the tennis coach. She then, however,…

The best is yet to come To be honest, when I saw the title of the assignment, I was confused; I moved to the United States not so long ago, and I can not say that I am an expert enough to define what are the greatest challenges America is facing right now.

think about why didn 't President Obama file charges against Bush government. Bush cost the taxpayers 100 of billions dollars and committed war crimes why is Obama not doing anything about that.
