Life+Lessons

Chapter 1 Robynne: In this chaper we learned that one makes the enviroment around them. One makes something out of what they have, even though their is something better to reach for. Kathryn. Sometimes its not in peoples powers to ceep the environment clean or under control the climate distroyes environment by many disruption of land. Robert: With all of this we learned that survival is the key here in Africa.



Dani- In this chapter it talks about how the ground is rich and matted, a holy ground that must be kept and guarded for it keeps and guards men. In this chapter the life lesson is that the ground and the enivronment that surrounds the men is protected them and the men are protecting the environment.

Chapter 2 Robynne: In this chapter a little girl brings Kumalo a letter. They must decide whether Kumalo should take all the money and go to Johannesburg and help his sister. There is alway chocies in this world and one never know whether they are making the right choice until everything is said and done. Don't be the frist to jump at and choice, wait and think it though. Just like Kumalo did. Kathryn: Sometimes people don’t have the right time to think about it, because something bad things are happening, and the only choice he has is to go to Jonahennsburg to help his sister. What would u do, think, or go to Jonahennsburg to help a close person that is important to u.

Dani- In this chapter a girl brings kumalo a letter and he isnt sure if he should open the letter or not. He doesnt know if the letter is from his sister, brother or son. So he and his wife arent sure if they should take all the money that they had saved up for their sons education and go to johannesburg. I think the life lesson in this chapter is that no matter what you do in life, you can never plan out things so you should always listen to your heart. Chapter 3 Robynne: Kumalo has lived in a small village and is a good man so he could not refuse someone asking for help. If someone askings for help one should at lease seek help to them. But today people arn't as kind hearted and don't see things the same. Today people are less trusting due to all the violence in the world. Kathryn: Kathryn: Unfendishe knows that if he gives help people that need help he can get it in return, if he would be in trouble. Like who knows what’s going to happened through his journey Dani- In this chapter the life lesson is dont worry about standing out in the crowd and being different because wanting to be like everyone else is always boring. You have to find your own person and life and be true to the person that you really inside. Chapter 4 Robynne: Kumalo has not expericed evil. When he went to Johannesburg people went as nice. He knew that it was going to be hard but he never thought people would have lost their morals. In this chapter Kumalo sticks to his morals and values even thought he is done wrong. People need to not give in to the evil and should stick by their morals and live their live that way even if they are done wrong. Kathryn: Not all people where nice in their cause one of the young guys rubed Unfendishe and then he realized that he should't trust everyone that would ofer to help or go with you. But When he mat an older man he wasent really scared of his bags that the man was helping him carie to Kumalo house. Robert: Know days you cannot trust everyone you see and think there a good person that's like judging a book by its cover, meaning the young man may have looked like a good person but ended up scaming the old man.




 * Dani- The life lesson in this chapter is that everyone is not always what they seem. You cant always trust everyone that you meet and kumalo learned this the hard way in this chapter when someone pretends to help him but in the end robbed him.  **



Chapter 5: Robynne: Umfundisi is a dinner and feels umcomfortable. When one goes on a date they feel uncomfortable, but one just has to be open and able to breck the ice. "Tragedy is not thing are broken. The tragedy is when it's not mended. In Johannesburg most men have sex and then leave and dont care of there babys. If you can't take care of your baby, be in their childs life, and pay child support then keep your pants ziped! Dani- The life lesson in this chapter is dont dwell on the bad things in life because the good things in life will always out weight the bad things life throws at you so when life throws you lemons make lemonade.
 * //Kathryn I don’t think he felt uncomfterbul it just he never seen the way they where using silverware. Does u think a lot of people planning for that to happen? Sometimes people do things that they regret later but they can’t do anything about it because the place that called Johannesburg is not the place where u can start a family or help out if u gets in trouble like that. First they have to get trough their own problems. And when ever they are ready they can do what they wish//**

Chapter 6 Robynne: When they talk about living segergated, it's like they let them pull you down. Dont ever let someone pull you down and tel you are know good. In you heart you are good and show them.

Dani - The life lesson in this chapter is that no matter what people say about you, you always know the truth behind it so always show your true colors in life because those people who put you down wont even matter to y ou larter on in life.
 * //Kathryn: Well sometimes man doesn’t understand why woman involve in prostitution actions. If she wouldn’t do what she did would the live will be different for her? Nobody knows if she would be even a life, because it was her only way to get money and make a living for her self. I understand why Kumalo was ashamed but he can change it by helping her getting out of Johannesburg.//**
