Question

What do you think Achebe meant when he said, “If you don’t like someone’s story, write your own”?

Answer 1

Answer:

It means if there is something you can do to solve a problem, do it instead of complaining.

Explanation:

• This quote is from Achebe's book "Things fall apart".
• It talks about how we are the only people who totally understand ourselves. We, as individuals, are the only people who know our story completely
• Every one else has seen just a figment of our personality, and just a few figments is not enough to tell our story.
• So, we need to step up and be the tellers of our own story. Do something about it.
