Cry Journal #1

I tabbed the first page because the tone at first is admiring and it talks about how strong is beautiful the land is. Suddenly, the tone changes to disgust as it describes another part of the country. I think that there may be foreshadowing or symbolism in that passage.

Another passage that I tabbed The first page of chapter one. It describes how the little girl with the letter treats the reverend's house with extreme care. The girl acts very timid, and all of this implies that the reverend holds high prestige in the society.

On pages 35-36, it shows the first of the dialogue. It is unique because the author uses dashes instead of quotation marks to indicate someone speaking. Sometimes, he uses nothing except a comma. It gives an overall sense of detachedness from the story.

I also tabbed the end of page 38. In this passage, the wife says, "He is in Johannesburg...when people go to Johannesburg, they never come back." This could foreshadow that the attempt to bring back their son from Johannesburg will be in vain.
