This changing of perspectives was integral to Dziga Vertov’s work‚ as it led to his ultimate goal of seeking film truth or cinéma vérité. In seeking this film

    Analyzing “Lucy” In Jamaica Kincaid’s Lucy‚ we enter a novel that is narrated by the protagonist Lucy Josephine Potter. In this fictional work of art I think that Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s ideas in “The Danger of a Single Story” comes through very clearly. I think both of these works are parallel to one another because this novel develops in the same way that Adichie tells her autobiography. Throughout this story we get supporting material of direct acknowledgement of the danger of the single story

    The Poem of David and Goliath 
In those days of long ago‚
A battle fought between two foes. 
Goliath shown‚ a Giant tall‚
Against young David to stand or fall!

A challenge sounded out that day‚
T’ward the camp sent Israel’s way.
A call to arms for one lone man‚
Against that Giant there to stand!

One on one to fight each there
Two lone warriors‚ their strength to bear. 
Winners then would take things all‚
The losing side‚ to slavery’s call!

T’was in those days this battle fought
Between two foes
