Adopting Africans not the answer
In Adopting Afri fecal matters not the answer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, argues against an appeal that bloody shame has made on television adopt an African child.Her opinion is summarized as, bloody shame could have urged others to encourage solve the problems by empowering, not failed leaders, but the people.Adichies opinion can be categorized under both persuasion and deliberation. First, she expounds on what bloody shame says on TV and then tries to persuade others to believe that Madonna, could have verbalise nearthing fracture.Therefore, her goal is to clarify what Madonna has said, and make a resolution as to what Madonna could have said. In the process of doing this, she also simultaneously presents to her readers the blank space for children in Africa and how the public can help.As she narrates her African background and urges people to typeface to a greater extent closely at Africa, and essentially, look far beyond what Madonna has said, she also deliberates on the bet ter type of action between adopting a child in Africa, or sending a donation to understand to malaria-eradication organizations. Adichie wants her readers to believe that the better thing to do is send donation.My outlook on Adichies opinion is perhaps similar to her own opinion of Madonna I invite Adichie could have focused on the fact that Africa necessitate donation, instead of going around in circles, telling a mount of things that could not strongly prove a point.Adichies article was undecomposed of herself. She starts with her childhood, goes on to tell what she feels, and ends the article with what she would think, which is only a poor prediction of a scenario that do not give enough kick to reinforcement her arguments.Adichie could have been more straightforward, and started with what Madonna said on television. From there, she could have skipped some parts of her story and went straight to correct the underlying notion that oneness helps Africa by adopting Africas c hildren. Instead, she dragged on and took Madonnas adopted childs biological father on the scene without empowering her opinion.Yet, when Adichie needed to expound, she failed. She wrote, I wish she (Madonna) had added that Africa cannot depend on aid alone, that aid is like salted peanuts The more failed leaders get, the more they want. I wish she had said she was setting up an organization run by locals to use donations as micro-credit.Adichie could have instanter compared the effects of helping a micro-credit and adopting a child in a bid to help Africa as a nation. But Adichie just raffishly went on without painting a clearer and crispier picture in the minds of her readers.Towards the end of her argument, she peppers her lyric with a lot of I wonder, which made her arguments a lot weaker and adolescent than what it should be. She may gotten the message across that Madonna could have said something better but she did give a lot of depth to her explanation for that. So after a while, her reader forgets about what Madonna has said, and what she herself has said.Its a shame because Adichie almost made a point that Africa can be helped not just be adopting its children. But she merely touches on the why part of her article &8212 where she was meant to strengthen her point and create an imprint in peoples minds &8212 and clearly loses control of her argument. Overall, her article is doomed to be forgettable.SOURCECHIMAMANDA, N.A. (2006). Adopting Africans not the answer.
