    The first thing that captured my interest about the story “Country Lovers”‚ by Nadine Gordimer was the first line. “Right from the opening sentence it is clear that this will be a story about inter–racial relationships.” ( Claxton‚ 2010). This sentence caught my attention because it gave me mixed emotions‚ first of hoping that this forbidden love would have a happy ending‚ and also a sense of foreboding that this would not be the case due to the inter-racial theme and the setting of the story.

    A non-runner may say that track and cross country are the same sporting events; this is a worldwide misconception for the non-runner.

The two sports have many differences; the overarching difference between track and cross country is the pace and the amount of distance that one runs.
