His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.

If I had not grown up in Nigeria, and if all I knew about Africa were from popular images, I too would think that Africa was a place of beautiful landscapes, beautiful animals, and incomprehensible people, fighting senseless wars, dying of poverty and AIDS, unable to speak for themselves and waiting to be saved by a kind, white foreigner. I would see Africans in the same way that I, as a child, had seen Fide’s family.
In this quote Adichie uses logos and ethos. She is putting herself in her roommates shoes. She is saying that if she had not grown in Nigeria she had also though just like her roommate because now that she lives out of Africa she understands the point of views that other see.
All of these stories make me who I am. But to insist on only these negative stories is to flatten my experience and to overlook the many other stories that formed me.
Adichie explains that Americans believe that in order for someone to prosper in life they have to come from horrible conditions. These stereotypes occur because that is the side of the story that Americans have heard. Of course she had gone threw tough times like everyone else has in their lifetime but she explains that not all her experiences are negative and that she is made up of much more.
I thought about this when I left Nigeria to go to university in the United States. I was 19. My American roommate was shocked by me. She asked where I had learned to speak English so well, and was confused when I said that Nigeria happened to have English as its official language.
This quote is a example of how Adichie's roommate expected Adichie to be because she believe that because Adichie was African she was a certain way and it was the total opposite The roommate believed that because that was probably what she have seen and heard around her. Is an example of what happends when you only know one single story
I’m a storyteller. And I would like to tell you a few personal stories about what I like to call “the danger of the single story.”
What the writer might be trying to say with " the danger of a single story." Is that you have to hear more than one side. Or even see for yourself because by listening to one story you could end up believing something totally different.
