Cry Journal 1

I tabbed the second and third paragraph of chapter one. The passage shows a change in the setting, but also shows a change in the culture. I also tabbed the last paragraph of the first chapter. "[t]he red blood of the earth" shows that there has been violence, or that violence is imminent (34). The interaction between Stephan and his wife is important, so I tabbed it. Both him and his wife share their own opinions. Showing their emotions, but still respecting and loving each other. This shows that the author intends for these characters to be generally good people. When umfundisi departs for Johannesburg, he takes the "carriage for non-Europeans"(43). Even before the apartheid happened, there is already segregation between the citizens of South Africa. This may be a main conflict throughout the story.
