My 4 tabs:
Narrative on page 1-2
At first, the description is beautiful. Almost a paradise that I can see! However, the sudden change to a darker theme was a bit of a shock. With just two pages I could tell that Alan Paton was a master of descriptive writing
Page 44, Last three paragraphs
They show obvious fear of the future, and how it seems to engulf hope. But out of his pocket, Kumalo finds comfort and hope in his Bible. This shows that there is always something to hope for in a dark situation.
