Summary of chapter one of everyday is for the thief by teju cole

7 0
Teju Cole's Every Day Is for the Thief opens as it means to go on, with a jeremiad against the corruption and sense of hopelessness in which Nigerian society wallows and which it seems incapable of escaping. The unnamed narrator has to pay a bribe, right under a sign that says, "don't give bribes", as he applies for a visa in the Nigerian consulate in New York. The bribe-givers know they shouldn't give bribes, the bribe-takers know they shouldn't take them, but both are helpless, it seems, against an almost metaphysical force that drives them on this path, with no end in sight. At the embassy a man says over and over, as if trying to convince himself, "This should be a time of joy. You know. Going home should be a thing of joy."

Machiavelli had distinct ideas about what it means to be an effective leader. What element had the greatest influence on the dev
vovikov84 [41]

<em>Machiavelli's active role in the politics of his time .</em> This is the correct option.

Machiavelli in 1498 was appointed by the Florence government as a member of different departments. First, he worked for the chancery and then, he worked for a council responsible for the diplomatic relationships among states. He did all these activities during a period of social conflicts and when Florence was a new republic.

These options are not right.

-His study of rhetoric and the art of persuasion.  ( This could have given him the means but not the experience of political life).

-His admiration of Lorenzo de Medici and his teachings. ( The Medici sent him to prison).

-His admiration of the Church's role in politics. ( He did not admire the Church; he was critical about the influnce the Church had on<em> citizens</em>).
