Answer:

Negativity, western literature

Explanation:

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in her TED talk on the danger of a single story, noted that the single story of Africa comes from western literature.  Adichie went on to quote a historic writing of a London merchant John Locke - who after sailing to West Africa, gave a fascinating account of black Africans as "beasts who have no houses," and "people without heads, having  their mouth and eyes in their breasts."

Adichie said John Locke's narrative marked the beginning of story telling that described Africa as place of darkness, negatives as well as a place where people - in the words of a poet Rudyard Kipling - are "half devil, half child."

Hello. Although You have submitted a text, You have not submitted any questions about it, which prevents me from giving you any answers. However, I will tell you what this text means and I hope it will help you.

This text is an excerpt from "True West" written by Sam Shepard, where we read about the dispute between two brothers. Those brothers are Lee and Austin and they're competing over who can write the best Western theater play.

In the excerpt shown above, Lee is claiming that he can write about the real western, escaping the stereotyped myth that western theater plays present. That's because Lee has lived in the Wild West and knows what he was really like, so he believes he can write a much better play, real and full of success.

Why Everett Ruess is a mystery
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

One of Utah’s greatest mysteries is the sudden disappearance of a young adventurer named Everett Ruess.

Explanation:

In the 1930’s, Ruess left his home and family after graduating high school to wander alone through the American Southwest. Everett was an explorer, poet, artist, and inspiration who was captivated by the daunting beauty and fury of deserts. He spent many years wandering alone through southern Utah with his two burros, entranced by the looming red rocks and lonely rolling sands. In 1934, at the age of 20, he disappeared into one of Utah’s most desolate places, and his fate remains a mystery.
