Print Advertisement: Nivea Moisturizer

To start off, here's some basic information about the advert. Its target audience is young women, as the main focus of the advert is a young woman, and the product is cosmetic, a product type commonly advertised to this target audience. The cosmetic in question is "Nivea Smooth Milk: Body", a type of moisturizing cream. As the ad is written in English and comes from a German (Western) company, it can be concluded that this advert comes from a Western cultural background.

In military, he is successful, because military power is absolute, obey or die type of deal, at least in that time; however, politics requires a surgical approach, and careful consideration of what to say, which the other characters mentioned can do better.

Language of African Literature Blog Post

" While Ngugi’s extract was used to practice the annotation and structuring of a Paper 1, the content and theme of the article can also be used to inform a deeper appreciation of Things Fall Apart In what ways does this text influence your understanding of Achebe’s use of language and stylistic choices in Things Fall Apart?"            Ngugi’s discussion on his native language, and how colonial policies influenced it and his way of life directly lead to familiar topics discussed or alluded to in Chinua Achebe’s “Things Fall Apart”. Within “Things Fall Apart”, Achebe utilises Igbo proverbs, songs, folktales, and integrates the Igbo language into the text (uses Igbo words in certain parts of the novel). Because of Ngugi’s text, an addition depth or motivation is added to the understanding of Achebe’s use of language and stylistic choices in “Things Fall Apart”. Ngugi mentions that his people’s “…appreciation of the suggestive magical power of language wa...
