In the story "The Thing Around Your Neck" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Gabriel begins to mistake the sound of the cicadas for the sound of planes. This confusion symbolizes his disconnection from his surroundings and the sense of alienation he feels in his current environment, reflecting broader themes of identity and belonging. The noise of the cicadas becomes a reminder of his internal turmoil and the cultural distance he experiences.
