Lesedi won't talk to the priest and this thing is haunting her.

Perhaps your doctor can help her.

Karabo just called me.
She said she doesn't want this to get ugly.

It's too late for that. Things got ugly the second she left Thapelo and me.

Sphe's carrying my child.
That makes her part of our lives.

I agreed to be your second wife, not to share your wife's baby's pics!

This smells like ladies' perfume, and not the one I use. I know it's that woman's.

We managed to get a dozen long-stem roses and the champagne he requested.

- You said you're calling from where?
- Bouquet Garni, ma'am.

Any suggestions?

- Yes, maybe...
- You bastard!

That's his head right there.

If that's his head, where are the feet?

Where are you looking?

You're doing the right thing!

Namhla, so tell me...

who will pay the fees?

- You're father?
- Don't worry, my child...

Please could you step out - give us some space.

Thank you!

I was saying, don't worry.

We don't need him. This is an investment in my child, Namhla's, future.

You see,
I'll pay for it myself.

No, Mom. I...

Good for you.
That's what a mother should do.

You see, in this family - the Diales...

you were always the smartest.

- It's only right that...
- I'm not going back to school!

What are you saying?

- But last year you said...
- I know! It's just...

I'm not in the right frame of mind anymore.

So what will happen now?

You want to sit at home, while we take care of you?

Hey? That's not going to happen!
You're out of line.

You're not going to waste your talents like this!

- I'm not saying I...
- No!

No!

Do you want to end up like me and your uncle?

Working in a shebeen?

Lucy, let the child speak!

What's the use?
She'll just think the worst of me anyway.

Of course!
Because you're foolish!

You see?
You never trust me to do things on my own!

- Nothing I do is good enough for you!
- Hey, you!

Hey, I'm not done!
Come back here!

    Character Analysis: The Boys And The Frogs

    This is very relatable for the reader and human beings in general as we experience the nature of different thoughts and feelings from moment to moment, and even experiencing various kinds of distinct feelings at one time. As a product having more dimensions, more in depth interiority — distincts kinds of feelings and thoughts, the passage to convey a direct idea or moral lesson becomes more challenging; thus, there is no moral explicitly stated for the reader. Instead, it is left for the reader to uncover the moral of the story by analyzing the character, the situation, his feelings and thoughts, and then relating with their own life.…

    Lord of the Flies- Piggy's 3 Journal Entries

    I am stranded on a desert island with a group of rude and immature boys, and no responsible human being knows I am here. The atmosphere of the island is not very good for my asthma. It is hot and humid, so it's hard to breathe, and I can't even go swimming to cool off, because my Auntie says I can't on account of my asthma. The first boy I met on this island was Ralph, who seems completely disinterested in everything I say. The only thing that caught his interest was when I told him of my loathed nickname, "Piggy." After I warned him that I didn't want people to call me that, he went and blurted it out to the other boys, and since then I have been mocked and tormented to no end. Ralph used the conch that I found to gather all the boys together, and he was appointed leader. Whoever wants to speak has to hold the conch, but whenever I am holding the conch, Jack interrupts me and sometimes he even makes fun of me. If Auntie was here, none of this would be happening; she would take care of me and give me all the sweets I desire. For now, Journal, you are my only friend; the only thing in which I can confide. I am going to go find something to eat now.…

    Piggy Good Vs Evil

    Is it possible to be good and evil at the same time? Lord of the Flies by William Golding investigates the quick deterioration of good in human society without structure. Within the novel, the character Piggy demonstrates good and evil and how the evil actions of others affects good and how even good can have an evil streak. To begin, Ralph comes back from Jack’s tribe’s feast to find Piggy and some littluns the “only one[s] left” (155) in Ralph’s group. This represents the good side of Piggy, as Piggy is the only child that understands what is going on, and yet is still loyal to Ralph. Piggy symbolizes trust and enthusiasm throughout the novel, and is a significant advisor to Ralph, even after being wronged through most of the story. Lastly,…

    A Doll's House Character Analysis

    President John F. Kennedy once said that, “conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” This concept has been seen through centuries of civil rights movements and literature by renowned authors such as Franz Kafka and Henrik Ibsen. Franz Kafka’s short story, “The Metamorphosis,” illustrates the life of traveling salesman Gregor Samsa, the breadwinner of his family who seems to face a transformation that affects his role in his house and society. This change into an unknown insect, both physical and mental, ultimately leads to his loss of humanistic characteristics and eventually death. In Henrik Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House, a young woman named Nora surpasses the bounds of a housewife when attempting to save her husband’s life.…

Piggy who is seen as intelligent and Jack who is seen as a savage can be also seen as the conflicting pair between Human's savagery…
