Before Chapter 18, the book is split into another book, Book II, and the beginning of Book II is much like the beginning of Book I. Why is this?
Is this because it is the story of two men who come from the same place, Ndotsheni, and one man has killed the other man's son?
Any thoughts?
I think that the author wanted to incorporate some symbolism by having two parts to the book to show apartheid. At least that's what makes the most sense.
ReplyDeleteI think it was precisely to regain the readers attention, just like what happened to you Sydney and even me! It's to get the reader thinking, of the whole question "why?" and how does it relate?. I think it was an extraordinary use of symbolism by the author.
