Term 3: This term was very educational in terms of our countries history. We started the novel, Cry, The Beloved Country. This novel made us aware of what people had to sacrifice in order for you and I to live a comfortable life of freedom with-out touchier. This novel expended my knowledge on apartheid by such an extent that I actually feel different towards blacks and I don’t think its right to judge them by the colour of their skin and their personal appearance. The poems that we did opened up my mind and I pray to Allah (God) that he should bless us with mercy and justice.
Children’s book: I, the author of “My Last Best Friend” am proud to announce that this assignment was the most creative piece and the most challenging assignment I have done for the year. I am grateful and happy to pass this book on to the younger generation as it narrates the actual story of apartheid in language suited for grades 3-6. The hardest part of the book was to get a starting point and how to get the clear massage of how black people suffered. My hidden skills came to light after I was inspired to go forth and seek knowledge; therefore, I stood up and related a story about the TRC and the Vaal-hearings.
