Q By Thursday, May 6, at 11:59PM: 1. Read "The Thing Around Your Neck" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and watch the "Hair is Political" interview clip. (You can reference both in your answers.) 2. In 5-8 sentences, (a) describe what you think the "thing around [Akunna's] neck" is, and (b), answer: Why, near the end (125) does it start "to let go"? 3. Writing a story in second person (you) is sometimes considered a way of bringing the reader closer to the position of the "you" character, usually the protagonist. Why do you suppose Acichie chose second person for this story? 4. Finally, as always, respond to two others' posts by Sunday, May 9, at 11:59PM.
