Answer:

Second Class Citizen is a novel by Buchi Emecheta. It was published in the United Kingdom in 1974, and in the United States in 1975. This novel tells the story of Adah Ofili-Obi, an Ibo Nigerian woman with ambitions to attend school, emigrate to the U.K., and become a writer. Achieving her dreams turns out to be more complicated than she expects, as Adah must contend with virulent racism in the U.K. and an abusive husband, but she perseveres. The novel explores themes such as immigration, sexism, and racism.

Second Class Citizen is well regarded as a story of overcoming struggle and of contemporary African life. On the novel's publication in 1974, Hermione Harris wrote in Race & Class: "Of the scores of books about race and black communities in Britain that had appeared during the 1960s and early 1970s, the great majority are written by white academic ultimately concerned with the relationship between white society and black 'immigrants'. Few accounts have emerged from those on the receiving end of British racism or liberalism of their own black experience. On the specific situation of black women there is almost nothing. Second Class Citizen is therefore something of a revelation."

John Self in The Guardian wrote that, despite being on Granta's Best of Young British Novelists list in 1983, in subsequent years Emecheta "...didn't get the column inches. So it's a late justice that she is one of the few Granta alumni, alongside Martin Amis and Shiva Naipaul, to be promoted to the Penguin Modern Classics list."

When do you feel proud? explain <br> i need five sentences for this one
fenix001 [56]
<span>I feel proud when I have done something that would benefit other people.  I also feel proud when I see my friends and family do well in their lives.  I feel proud knowing that the things I did helped someone.  When I was able to overcome something that kept from achieving my goal, then I feel proud.  When I know what I did was right and people say so, I feel a sense of pride.  Most I feel proud when the bonds of family and friends stay strong.</span>
