    Nelson Mandela Paper

    • 5 Pages

    When most people think of a prominent figure in South Africa one name always comes to mind; Nelson Mandela. Imagine a time in South Africa when, similar to old America, whites held most of the power. Due to the previous conflicts of the European countries in South Africa, there were many Europeans who heavily discriminated against the original African people. This is exactly the type of place Mandela was born into. Born in 1918, his family was part of a common South African clan, where he always enjoyed hearing the elder’s stories. These stories consisted of the black Africans’ struggle against whites during the time of the Boer war (Nelson Mandela Center of Memory). It is because of this individual that the world looks at South Africa the in way it is done today. Nelson Mandela has left his mark on the country, for without him there may not be equality, democracy, and learning opportunities for the black people of South Africa.…

    The form, style, and structure of Mandela’s inaugural speech all work together to develop Mandela’s hope to call the country together to forgive the past, and unite to build a new glorious South Africa. For instance, Nelson Mandela’s inauguration speech uses the persuasive form to express his passion for the people of South Africa. Mandela’s tone is uplifting, inspirational, and commanding. He use’s motivational phrases to encourage people to come together. He states “the time for the healing of the wounds has come” and “the moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come” (Mandela 437). Moreover, this technique allows him to appeals to people’s emotion, character, and reason. This allows them to feel connected with him and easier to follow as a political figure. Not only does Mandela use the persuasive form to get his point across but he also uses metaphors. “Implant hope in the breast of millions of our people” (Mandela 436). this Mandela uses a lot of repetition as well. In this case it is the pronoun “we” is repeated. He says “we are moved by a sense of joy and exhilaration when the grass turns green and the flowers bloom” as well as “we trust that you will continue to stand by us as we tackle the challenge of building peace, prosperity, non-sexism, non-racialism and democracy” (Mandela 436). Mandela’s repetition of the pronoun “we” is meant to build a connection with his audience. This develops his idea and allows his fellow citizens to look at him as one of them. Without a doubt, the structure, style and format of Nelson Mandela’s speech all worked together to unite the people of South…

    The British Empire was at its zenith when, in 1911, it was decided to move the capital of British India from Calcutta to Delhi. While the move away from Calcutta was the result of political and administrative considerations, the choice of Delhi was dictated strongly by symbolic associations – the desire to tap into the aura of an ancient capital city. Soon work began on grand capital city, worthy of the jewel in the crown of the British Empire.…

    Nelson Mandela

    • 9 Pages

    Nelson Mandela was born on July 18, 1918 in a small village in the city of Transkei in South Africa. He was originally named “Rolihlahla”, which means trouble-maker in his native language: Xhosa. When he was a young child, his father lost his title as a counselor to tribal chiefs, causing him to also lose his fortune. Due to this loss, the Mandela family moved to an even smaller village named Qunu, which was north of Mvezo. They lived only on local harvest, because that was all they could afford at the time. Mandela and the young boys living in the village played games made from materials they found outside, such as clay and sticks. (“Nelson Mandela” The Biography Channel website. N.p.) He went to primary school, where his teacher Miss Mdingane gave him the name Nelson, sticking to the custom of all boys having Christian names. ("The Life & Times of Nelson Mandela” Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory. N.p.) He was baptized in the Methodist church, and the first one in his family to attend school. Nelson lost his father at the young age of nine to tuberculosis. (“Nelson Mandela” Famous People. N.p.) He was adopted by Chief Jongintaba Dalindyebo soon after, moving to the provincial capital of Thembuland, which was the royal chief’s home. He was immediately considered equal to his other two children, resulting in the growth of his responsibilities and social status. He enrolled at the University College of Fort Hare. There he studied English, Xhosa, history, and geography. Nelson Mandela became extremely interested in African history; learning and realizing how South Africans’ lives seemed relatively more peaceful before white people came.

    After reading about his accomplishments and the sacrifices he made to ensure the prosperity of his people, Mandela should be studied in primary schools in far more depth than he is today. I, as an average American, was ignorant to the fact that Mandela is still alive! I’d like to say that this was simply my ignorance, but when I asked around, I found that not many people knew this, and many of them could not define what it is exactly that Nelson Mandela achieved. After asking several people, all I got was a few people vaguely associating his name with the principle of ‘apartheid’. Mandela is an international hero and possibly one of the greatest leaders to emerge from a tiny town in South Africa, yet American college students barely know who he is. After reading Mandela’s biography, there were three things in particular that intrigued me about him. The first was his decision to resign from the Student Representative Council (SRC) at Fort Hare University. The second was his decision to execute sabotage to end the apartheid, and the third was continuing to fight after being locked up for 27…
