Analysis Of Monnzi's The One Who Shot Mandli
Rumour has it
Mondli's the one who shot MaNzuza.

Please repeat that.

If you can't find whoever kill my mom...

I'll kill them with my bare hands.

Hey, how much is Nkunzi paying you?

And it's all above board?

- Come on. I'd never get you into trouble.
- I want to join.

I've rented my home out.
To Sbu.

From now onwards...

I'll no longer call you Mastermind.
I'll call you landlord.

Don't you know that it was a cop who shot MaNzuza?

- Which cop?
- Don't you know? It's Mondli.

My man...

will be known as the killer cop in KwaMashu?

I'll kill Mondli with my bare hands!

Kill him? Mxolisi,
I'm the killer of KwaMashu, not you.

That idiot killed my mother.
What would you do if you were me?

He's the law. You can't just barge into the police
…show more content…
They took away the most precious thing in my life.

I'm sure you didn't call me here to gawk at me.

What do you mean?
Let me tell you something...

If MaNzuza...

had been my mother, Mxo...

I'd hunt down all the dogs who were involved and stab them...

chop off their fingers and feed them to them.

I hear you...

but I'm not like you.

Okay.

You know what?

If you don't know what to do with it...

throw it into the ocean.

Okay.

You know what to do.

Knock, knock!
Anybody home?

Shame, no one was luckier than Amandla and Smangele to have a big brother like you.

I don't think I was a good brother.

I made a lot of mistakes.

Zwe, you were a great brother, and don't you ever doubt that.

Okay, listen, it's time to start planning.

A beautiful house.

And if we don't find one in Durban North, we can look in the other suburbs in Durban.

Thobile, we need to talk.

Thank you for everything you've done for me.

And for everything you've done for my family.

Whenever we have a problem...

you're the first person to show up.

So thank you.

But I get nervous...

when you start talking about marriage, children and building a home together.

It scares me a little, and you lose me.

I just wanted you to know

    The chapter starts off as Elijah and Xavier are being sent to another great Allied offensive in the city of Amiens. Xavier makes the statement that the battle for food has become as constant as the war against each other and that for most people the war itself is the real enemy. The Canadian army has advanced a great distance and it appears that it will not be long until the war is over. As Xavier and Elijah are raiding the trenches of the German lines Elijah disappears in pursuit of the retreating Germans, which causes Xavier to worry that Elijah’s lust to kill might have driven him too far this time. After Elijah’s return he is lectured by Colquhoun (the man who replaces McCaan) about Elijah’s absence, he remains silent as he realises any further comments will only make matters worse. It is shown that Colquhoun and Lieutenant Breech are jealous of Elijah’s medals and achievements. After this Elijah searches for Xavier to tell him the things he had done when was gone, he describes to Xavier how he followed the Germans and began to kill them one by one until he ran out of bullets. Elijah claims that it was too easy and that it lost the thrill it once gave him. While Elijah is returning to his section after his killing spree he stops in one of the other Canadian division’s in-order to obtain more morphine, in his attempt to steal the medicine he notices an injured man in the medic’s tent asking for morphine.

    During the sixteenth century, the role of men and women within society were distinctly determined and demonstrated in France. When it came to marriage, men had to remain faithful to his wife, while women also had to remain faithful to her husband. It was the man’s job to take care of his family and wife by being the provider. It was the woman’s job to keep honor to the family by being loyal wives and attentive mothers. Both the husband and wife were responsible to uphold these roles because divorce was not an option through the eyes of the church. In the sixteenth century, marriages were usually arranged at a very young age for both men and women in order to gain prosperity and property. In the novel The Return of Martin Guerre, Natalie Zemon Davis uses characters such as Bertrande and Martin/Arnaud to represent gender and marriage roles that were common during the sixteenth century in rural…

    Of the two assigned chapters in the Betrothed, I found chapter 34 to be the most interesting. Alessandro Manzoni, the author of the historical novel, begins chapter 34 with the character Renzo trying to find his way into the heavily guarded, plague-filled city of Milan in order to find the love of his life, his fiancée Lucia. Renzo finally finds his way into the city by paying the guard a half-ducat. However, one obstacle that Renzo often encountered in his journey to find Lucia was that he did not know the exact address of where Lucia was staying at and almost nobody in the city seemed to be willing to help him find the location( that is, until a priest finally agreed to show him the way). This, perhaps, can be attributed…
