The Poor Understanding of African literature 

BY PN Ntombini [46079270]

INTRODUCTION:

The Western People should take pride in their literature despite their differences. Everyone should be able to behave in their own way and practice their own belief comfortably and in the way they want.

How to write about my Africa

Africa is a swelting stony with never ending pastures and

crowds of animals and tall, small people who are hungry.

 Africa is filled with deserts, jungles, highlands, savannahs and many more.

 Africans have music sounds that is deep in souls and eat things

no other people can eat. Africa’s plate of food choice is a goat, snakes, worms, grubs and

all other kinds of meat.

Africa humans have stripped veterans, very devoted

 domestic prophet and oracle, very old wise men living in hermitic glory.

Africa people should be bright, unusual

 larger than life but void inside, with no dialogue.

Africans treat animals well and they talk

 [or call out willing throwing their manes very proudly]

Africans who lived in the jungle or desert has a great sense of humor

Africa’s most people are prestige activist and aid workers.

In Africa the sunset is a required thing.

Africa is known to be the land of wide empty spaces.

Murdock has shown with respect to clan organization [1949;71]

 Magical beliefs and practices of Nacirema show

 unusual things to which behavior must be.

 The very first ritual of Nacirema by

 professor Linton caught interest to

 the anthropologists twenty years ago

 [1936, 326], although culture of people is not understood.

 Nacirema culture is shown by developed market

 economy which has become in rich natural homes.

 Portion of the everyday life are spent in

ritual activity, the reason is the human body, how you look and health.

The essential belief in the whole system shows to be

 the humor of the body, body is not fine and it

s naturality is disease. They use shrine in a box

 which is built on the wall and are kept in

 the chest of many charms and magical potion.

 The most influential are the medicine

 men who get reward from helping.

 The divination pockets are so powerful and are sacred.

 The holy water are secured from the water temple.

The Nacirema have photological horror and

 imagination with mouth to which they believe to

 have supernatural power on all relationship.

Magical things are placed in these holes augers, awls, probes, and prods.

The most sacred and traditional character of the rite evident is the fact that natives go back to the hoy mouth men year after years although their teeth continues to decay.

The ceremonies involve not only the

 thaumaturge but a long- term group of vestal

maidens who go sedately about the temple chambers in distinctive costume and headdress.

 The lalipso ceremonies are harsh but really sick natives

who goes to the sacred place get well even old adults.

 The person entering the sacred place

 is first take off all his or her clothes. Every moment in

 life Nacirema escape discovery at his physique and its natural duty.

The Dangers of a Single Story

This story comes from Western literature whereby it talks about Africans and its poverty.

s

Some Nigerians have not been outside Nigeria and had no snows, they used to read British books and ha

d to love foreigners.

 There was a poor boy named Philey and they

 knew about their family is that they were very

poor and people were suprised when

 they a beautiful creative thing made

 by one of Philey family member. No possible of Africa to be similar, no connection

 between human beings.

Africa has beautiful landscapes, animals, facing senseless

wars, dying of poverty, comprehensive people, unable to speak

for themselves and waiting

to be saved by a kind white foreigner.

African are poor, grandfathers died in

 refuge camps, others died because

 they did not have access to medical car , devalued education, others died in

military plane cause it did not have water

 and food was becoming too expensive.

 Nigerians do not read literature due to unaffordability and there are great talents but with no resources in Africa.

CHANGE YOUR CHANNEL [MALLENCE BART WILLIAMS]

5000 units of our country is worth only one unit of your own currency?

This story is about young souls who found themselves living in the streets due to war. As innocent as they were in this situation they were also impacted by this in a very bad way. Mallence Bart Wiliams cam and saved this children from the street as she saw potential in them. As expected the strived in life as they made good life choice and goo careers, for example one of the children became a lawyer. Africa is a very rich continent in minerals such:

  • Gold
  • Platinum
  • Diamonds

 And many more. The Western part views Africa as the poorest continent ever as they extract gold, platinum from Africa. Just a quick evident point that the aid is in fact not coming from the West to Africa but from Africa to the Western world. The Western ensure that the free aid keeps coming by systematically manipulating the richest African nations or identities and their systems, and all that backed by big PR Campaign, leaving the whole world under the impression that Africa is poor and dying. That Africa is merely surviving on the mercy of the West organizations that are in charge of multi-million dollar advertisement campaigns showing charity porn to maintain their image of Africa globally. Advertising campaign paid for very innocent people under the impression to help with their [OXFA, UNICEF, RED, CROSS, LIFE AID].
