Answer:

1. Adichie realized that her single story was not her only story. She recognized the need for balance. She also realized that single stories created stereotypes and robbed people of their dignity.

2. Creating awareness through the media that showcases various aspects of a society can prevent the danger of a single story.

Power also has the ability to prevent stereotypes in the minds of people.

Personally observing the culture of a people can prevent single stories.

Explanation:

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie had several instances where she had a single story. As a child, she experienced hardships while growing but she refused to accept that as her single-story because she knew that she grew up under a loving family. This enabled her to have a balance.

Experiencing the culture of a people firsthand just as she experienced the culture of the Mexicans firsthand enabled her to overcome the stereotypes she had about them. A powerful society is also less likely to be susceptible to a single story. This is seen in her views of the American government which was not lopsided.

Notice that the narration doesn't directly describe the moment of Louise Mallard's death in the story of an hour. Instead, the s

Nostrana [21]

In this story, we meet Mrs. Mallard, a woman who finds out that her husband died in a train accident. However, instead of being extremely sad (as we might expect) she feels joy at the idea of being completely free. Nevertheless, towards the end of the story, we learn that her husband is alive, and the shock causes her to die.

When Mrs. Mallard dies, the reader is not told about the event. We only find out when Mr. Mallard learns of the news. There are several effects that are created through this narrative technique. First, the author is able to maintain a feeling of suspense, as the reader does not immediately knows what happened to Mrs. Mallard. Second, this creates an effect of parallelism, as we see both wife and husband receive the news of their spouse passing away.

I need help let me know if it’s a statement or not

atroni [7]

Answer:

I have a dog, I'm from the United States, I'm at my house, There is oxygen on earth, I am a human, and I have a computer.

Explanation:

These are facts that can not be questioned. Hence, they are statements. For example, the statement you have posted "I have so many trophies" Is a statement if you have many trophies although I would take out "so" to reduce confusion. Hence it's a statement.
