Post 2 Chapter 7-12
I don’t understand who is telling the story. I understand
that it is in third person but I don’t understand what the focus of the
narrator is. For example I don’t understand chapter 9. In the previous and
subsequent chapters follow Kumalo on his journey to finding his son and
siblings. Does chapter 9 follow different families in the black communities to
give us, the readers, a insight into life in such a community?
I thought that this was maybe a little confusing at first:
ReplyDeletepoint of view - Books I and III are largely told from Kumalo’s point of view, while Book II is told largely from Jarvis’s point of view. A number of chapters, however, feature a montage of voices from different layers of South African society, and the narrator also shows things from other characters’ perspectives from time to time.
