Since studying the lack of understanding that the general American population knows about Africa, I want to pose a Question:
1.If Americans had to romantically and sensationally descibe Africa, what would they say?
2.If you had to write an Adventure Novel about Africa, how would you descibe it?Thanks you for your time

That's two questions, but fair enough
Romantically, everyone wants to meet a tall dark and handsome man, we've got the dark side of things pretty well covered. Tall and handsome are variable. Sensationally, it's where you stole your slaves from.
Seriously now though, Africa's a continent, and it's as different as Berlin would be from Paris, or Rome versus Athens. There is no simple way to represent the whole of Africa easily, just as with any continent consisting of many cultures. Some areas are rural, some not, certain areas huts predominate, other areas are versions of New York. If you asked about specific areas or countries of Africa, we might be able to help you more.

Well thank you all, good to know my sense of humour hasn't fallen completely into obscurity
