Write your response to these three talks.
1. Did the first talk help you in understanding of postcolonialism?

1) Talk on importance of Story  Literature

In this talk - Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.

In this video she talks about the power which narrates the story and condition also the mind of people. she says that single story will create a archetype and archetypes are dangerous because they are incomplete.

However, she says that when we reject a single story when we realized that there is not a single story but we regain a kind of paradise.

 2. Are the arguments in the seconds talk convincing?

yes, definitely we are agree with this idea about as a feminist. if we can ponder upon this talk so we can find that reality of society. why people are not giving priority to woman as in our society major issues are gender equality.

Meanwhile, she differs one quote By Simone De Beauvoir '' one is not born rather becomes a woman''. she says that gender differential is worst things.

3. What did you like about the third talk?

Now, we are in post-truth era is to believe on anything without checking the fact will be act of fool. Also, she says that while speaking truth, you face the chaos but be courageous enough to speak the truth. When, you have choice bend towards to the truth. Also, she talks about religion and literature and she says that make literature your religion, take people as people. She also talks about media that it is for truth and not for entertainment or for profit making. But there are so many people who are just enjoying the media for entertaining them self, It's reality to discover of this kind of people.

4. Are these talks bringing any significant change in your way of looking at literature and life?

yes, why not is definitely way of looking literature as a different path. Also, In  our class Dilip barad sir  had mentioned 'watching' literature is the new form of 'Reading' literature but laymen thinks that watching' is Wastage of time and 'Reading' is good investment of time but I am not agree with layman statement because literature has broad sense we can get from anything like watching and reading both are necessary for a Literature.
