PLAN
1 - Childhood Experience of stories
2 - Fide
3 - Victim
4 - Call to action
“They ate apples” + “We ate mangoes”
using her childhood = gentle tone
Antithesis = difference in upbringing
Mango = exotic nature to western society
“opened up new worlds for me”
normally seen as positive
Hyperbolic metaphor = unrealistic in comparison to her own story
Fide anecdote
emission of guilt, evokes pathos from audience
highlights how wrong it is to make assumptions
“beautifully patterned baskets”
juxtaposes previous descriptions of fide
detail of description “dyed raffia” = admiration + respect
“I was startled.”
blunt declarative = accentuates shock + strengthens message of single story
“She assumed I did not know how to use a stove”
Single sentence para = ridiculousness of statement
“assumed” = prejudice of roomate
“No possibility” x3
anaphora = how entrenched a single story can become
repetition + tricolon = stresses absurdity of thought
“dispossess” “empower” “malign” “humanize”
antithetical parallelism = power of stories (informs audience of their importance)
“we reject” “we realise” ”we regain”
repetition of we = connection to the audience
progression of verb = positive impact on society if we follow her message
