2nd Post for Chapters 7-12

As I continued to read, I saw the word "Kaffir", and wondered what it meant. Here is the conversation it was used in...

The white man said to my friend, he said it twice, Jy is 'n goeie Kaffer, you are a good Kaffir. Something touched him, and he said it in the words that he had.
- I am touched also.

I found out a lot about what the word means from this Wikipedia article.

  1. In World History I learned the Kaffir is the South African equivalent of the n-word in the U.S.
