__**Brian Graves**__- “I have one great fear in my heart, that one day when they are turned to loving, they will find we are turned to hating…”

- I believe Msimangu is talking about when “they” – the white people, start to accept racial harmony that “we” – the black people, will have started to have the attitude of hating the whites. __**Carrie Seymour**__- “Kumalo looked at the visitors. I come on business, he said.” Finally finding his brother John Kumalo, Stephen insists secrecy and does not wish to show the true meaning of his voyage to strangers. The urgency of this trip may show weakness, and the Zulu do not intend on ever appearing vulnerable. __**Carrie Seymour**__- “John looked at him suspiciously. Fidelity, he said. But Msimangu was quick to see that he did not understand. -Perhaps we should speak Zulu again, he said.” John rants on about the English ways and how things are so different in Johannesburg. He goes on about how he’s accustomed to these new ways now. However, when Msimangu uses an English word, John is confused by its meaning. Therefore, Msimangu takes a harsh stab with a taste of John’s own medicine by displaying how things aren’t as different as he suggests since Msimangu himself knows an English word that John does not. Msimangu mocks him by suggesting to speak in Zulu again since he obviously does not understand everything in English. __**Carrie** S**eymour** ­ __- “...They do not do such things for a black man, my brother.”

This highlights, once again, that blacks and whites are separate and unequal in Johannesburg. __**Carrie Seymour**__- “I see only one hope for our country, and that is when white men and black men, desiring neither power nor money, but desiring only the good of their country, come together to work for it.” A suggestion of integration is presented in this statement and the thought that all men are created equal will unite our country and make the world a better place. __ **Chapter 8 ** __

- This shows how overcrowded and in disarray Johannesburg was, and how people were using every means to exploit the misfortune of others to their advantage. I believe this metaphor tells us that the man is very persuasive when it comes to a fight for a good cause. He has a way with words. The Dubula acts in a way that comes from the heart. He will fight for a good cause if the cause has such a meaning that touches his very own heart as well as the hearts of others. He has no fear in his heart; only what he believes is right exists for the good of the people – his people. Kumalo lives with fear in his heart, contrasting the Dubula. He fears for his child’s life because of what he has already come to see and realize in Johannesburg thus far. He does not want to lose his son to a world in which he can not understand.  This response states that the younger Kumalos were potential robbers and thieves along with prior knowledge of returning home at late hours with foreign personal possessions. Have no doubt too that this man is afraid.” <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #7b0f62; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #a2b2b3; msoFareastFontFamily: 'Times New Roman'mso-ansi-language">These comments suggest the idea that the young men are rather dangerous – a threat even.
 * __ Brian Graves __** - “But the streets we not cared for, and there were no lights, and so great was the demand for accommodations that every man if he could, built rooms in his yard and sublet them to others.”

<span style="COLOR: #4b3450; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #2d859a">- This statement shows how Johannesburg is the only place for people to go for work, a place to live, or a place to hide out. There is a problem; Johannesburg can not handle so many people. There is no living spaces, and very few jobs pay enough to live on. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><span style="COLOR: #ee91b0; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #90d2da">A young child is suffering from a severe illness with no-one to care for it.

No white doctor, no black doctor, can help her anymore. Oh child of my womb and fruit of my desire, it was pleasure to hold the small cheeks in the hands, it was pleasure to feel the tiny clutching of the fingers, it was pleasure to feel the little mouth tugging at the breast. Such is the nature of women. Such is the lot of women, to carry, to bear, to watch, and to lose.”

This appears to signify the innocence of the child's mind. No adult will ever know the thoughts of a child at such a young age. Curiousity striked constantly as they are entranced in their activities. Never are their minds still.
 * __Carrie Seymour__** - "<span style="COLOR: #d6cfcd; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #1509c3">He had bought the child some cheap wooden blocks, and with these the little one played endlessly and intently, with a purpose obscure to the adult mind, but completely absorbing."
