The Day Of The Dead
...se it shows that he is scared and has never faced the colored/ different people than his race. 3. The thing that is striking about Harrison’s view of the mines and John Kumalo’s view of the mines is that they are so different from one another. 4. The perceivable connection between the “ The Truth About Native Crime” and the previous essay is that they both had strong feelings and they kind of foreshadowed his death. 5. Arthur Jarvis means that the civilization is not Christian by saying it’s not what people expect (tragic compound of great ideal and fearful practice of high assurance and desperate anxiety, of loving charity and fearful clutching of possessions.) Chapter 22: 1. Yes, because it says that it the law was unjust, and if the Judge judges according to the law, that is justice, even if it is not just. 2. The effect of the word frightening was a major part of Absalom’s testimony because he shot out of fright and acted out of fright. Chapter 23: 1. The event that interrupts the discussion of the trial is the discovery of gold. 2. I think it is examining the discovery of gold in this chapter too much because it makes you lose track of the trial and doesn’t make sense right now. 3. Well, there is a slight connection to me, because they were both so intriguing and very on top of the subject. Chapter 24: 1. It suggests that you should never judge anyone unless you know who and what they are and what they are accustomed to. It says that you can only learn of the hates and fears of a country when you live it day in and day out. 2. This essay is a culmination to the other essays by the way of the words and how much knowledge and work/ thought was put into all these essays. 3. Arthur Jarvis means that he has learned and realized that moving away to such a place and living this life he has learned that its made him do things right at whatever costs may be. 4. I believe he stops walking through the fatal passage way because he now know that his son died and he really never knew of things he could do and how much he wanted to make a difference and I think that he was upset his son died on accident. 5. I think Arthur did this because he wanted to know how others lived in many different ways and I think it taught a lot about people all around. Chapter 25: 1. The first meeting of Jarvis and Kumalo is so ironic because they were both scared and did not know what to say or how to act of each other because of their son’s actions and pasts. 2. By saying that she promised to look after the daughter of uSmith but then she lost in bad terms, and it hurt him now knowing not where she is at. 3. Barbara Smith is the niece of Margaret Jarvis, who married a man from Springs. 4. He was sent there to find her and inquire about her about a native named Sibeko. 5. Arthur Jarvis rode a red horse with a white face. 6. Kumalo ascribes Arthur as him having a brightness in him. 7. Jarvis sees that they’re both old and seem sick or just not in tune. 8. The word “ heavy” is used as something big and bad that happened but it’s not wanted to come out. Chapter 26: 1. This corrupting influence has spread throughout the book, which caused many wrongs for people, but John Kumalo’s power may be strong for he has been corrupted for long his life. 2. Tomlinson and Dubula’s feelings toward John seem very negative and dislikeable. 3. The officials’ attitude toward John Kumalo is undecided, while some agree with his way of words. 4. He wishes the men to strike so they can get more money for their hard labor towards the industries. 5. The outcome of the strike is low loss of life and all is quiet. 6. I think in the way of how the people are treated and how the country as a whole is. It tells a lot about the work and losses and how it is for all people in South Africa. Chapter 27: 1. Not really, because she is not certain whether to become one or not. 2. Some people urged the drop the word native from the headlines. 3. The headline is disturbing to Kumalo because it probably brings back every thing from his son’s case and all the drama it caused. 4. Gertrude asks Absalom’s wife to care for Stephen and the son if she becomes a nun. Chapter 28: 1. The judge rules that the murder was a mistake but he thinks that anyone who has done such an act should be punished, but he seems undecided. 2. I don’t think Absalom’s sentence is just because his intention was not to kill anyone, but to only frighten them, so therefore he shouldn’t deserve just. 3. The other boys are not found guilty because there was not enough evidence and the identification was not sufficient to make them guilty. 4. The seating custom is blacks on one side and whites on the other. 5. He implies that no matter what you did, even if on accident or intention that there is a law you are committing. 6. They break the custom of the court from whites and blacks leaving on their sides only, but they go out together. Chapter 29: 1. I think the significance of Absalom’s wish to name his boy Peter is that it’s something that people will remember him for, like it’s a part of him. 2. John Kumalo’s attitude is harsh and very uneasy. He seems angry but yet pleased for the trial to end like that. 3. Yes, because I thought he liked what he did and I thought he would stay with that job forever so he can help people. 4. I think chapter 29 might the climax, but there may another part becau...
