Cry Journal #4

The author separates Cry into books because he uses a repetition of things from the beginning of Book 1 and puts them in the beginning of Book 2. This creates a sense of familiarity in the beginning of Book 2 and maybe foreshadow that something bad will taint the admiring tone in the second book, since the first book started with a admiring tone, but changed to disgust. He also uses different parts in the book to convey a change in the point of view. He goes from Kumalo's point of view, who is looking for his son, to Jarvis' point of view, who just lost his son. There is some contrast in this where Kumalo is just a priest with little money finding his son, and Jarvis is a wealthy farmer losing his son.
