Can someone help me? I read both stories but i don’t know how to answer that question...
I haven’t read these, but here are some questions that may help.

What is Achebe’s main point? If you’ve read any of his other works (especially Things Fall Apart), do you think his main point in this article fits the main theme in his other works?

Then ask yourself these same questions about the other author.

Let me know if this helps.
