Abstract
Style and ideology in any literary work are inseparable and go a long way to portray one’s identity. This work
has looked at how Chinua Achebe stylistically defended his ideology of using the English language to carry his
African experiences in Anthills of the Savannah. It was discovered that Achebe made a blend of three language
modes to stylistically defend his ideology. Achebe’s ability to handle the three modes of the English language
unquestionably demonstrates his stylistic defense of twisting the language to suit his needs to carry his African
experiences.
