How do...someone can help me answer these question. <br />How does White Supremacy play a role in the failure of Jon and Amaka’s relationship?<br />Is it possible for both Jon and Amaka to be their complete selves and still maintain a successful relationship? If not, why? If so, what would have to happen? <br />Discuss how Amaka’s internalized racism contributes to how her relationship with Jon unfolds.<br />Discuss the different ways that microaggressions manifest in this short story. How do microaggressions contribute to the failure of Jon and Amaka’s relationship? How do they not contribute to the failure of their relationship?<br />How does Chimamanda Adichie’s Ted Talk “The Danger of the Single Story” help explain how she chooses to end her short story “My American Jon”?<br />How would you compare Amaka and Jon? Who is the “better” person? 甲https://www.blogger.com/profile/08132761132651529339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2444768527972838106.post-63980852548841953932014-09-03T13:55:22.235-07:002014-09-03T13:55:22.235-07:00Some of this writing is in Americanah..Jon being C...Some of this writing is in Americanah..Jon being Curt.
