This a good conclusion for the chapter because this is also a lesson for the readers and teaches them what Trevor and them can relate to. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131348 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131348 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 13:50:02 -0400 This line shows how much love Trevor had towards Fufi. Trevor includes it there because he wants everyone to know how important fufi is to him.The emotion he is trying to evoke from the ready is anger possibly. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131341 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131341 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 13:46:37 -0400 Fufi was such a significant part of Trevor's life because she was with hims for the most part of his life. Fufi brought happiness to his life. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131340 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131340 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 13:44:10 -0400 This flashback enhanced Trevor's story by telling us that black people from back then and now are still the same. He includes it there because he wanted to add other people's perspectives. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131323 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131323 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 13:39:59 -0400 This line is so powerful because it explains how white people realized that all the abuse they had going on had to stop. I think the cat made the black people in South Africa still feel less of a person because the white still didn't care about them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131322 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131322 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 13:37:34 -0400 People were more motivated by finding gold. This is because they thought that if they dug up a lot of gold, it would be worth a lot of money. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2121017 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2121017 Wed, 07 Oct 2020 20:05:08 -0400 Some of the words that stood out to me are thrill, curiosity, surveillance, and triumphant. I think Nadine wanted to use these word to describe the scene because she wanted to have a clear and more detailed writing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2121016 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2121016 Wed, 07 Oct 2020 20:03:31 -0400 What had happened to her town was that it was being destroyed because there was mining happening most of the time. I don't think it sounds like a nice place to live because most towns weren't safe and people only cared for gold. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2120986 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2120986 Wed, 07 Oct 2020 20:00:05 -0400 Growing up in her town was always busy. This is because people were always digging up sand and searching for gold. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2120940 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2120940 Wed, 07 Oct 2020 19:56:58 -0400 I would say that the racial category that would make Nadine Gordimer is white. Since both her parents are from either Russia or London, she had a lot of privileges because she was not a "African American" woman. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2120935 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2120935 Wed, 07 Oct 2020 19:52:10 -0400 Going to school changed Mandela's identity by having to change his name due to British bias. An impact this had on Africans in his generation is that their culture was mostly ignored because they had to change and be "English". https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101318 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101318 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 14:20:54 -0400 The way Xhosa children acquire knowledge was through imitation and emulation. The standard methods were considered as not asking questions. This differs from the Western upbringing by them being able to ask questions. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101307 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101307 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 14:17:36 -0400 Some of the skills that Mandela learned as a young boy is that he learned to knock birds with a sling shot, gather wild honey and fruits and edible roots. He also learned how to drink milk straight from the udder of a cow, and swim in clear cold streams. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101270 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101270 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 14:14:21 -0400 The roles of women and men differ in Mandela's childhood is that women and men made the rules. Women worked as cookers, farmers, and cleaners. Men worked as remote farms or in mines along the reef. Men would return twice a year to plow their fields. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101233 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101233 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 14:10:22 -0400 His mother's childhood compared to Trevor's is that she didn't feel the same connection with her mother as Trevor did. https://nowcomment.com/documents/232058?scroll_to=2100154 https://nowcomment.com/documents/232058?scroll_to=2100154 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 12:15:29 -0400 This means that in order for the apartheid to work, the white people would have to trick the colored people into following their rules. https://nowcomment.com/documents/232058?scroll_to=2100079 https://nowcomment.com/documents/232058?scroll_to=2100079 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 12:10:11 -0400
