Moreover‚ both stories revealed Gordimer’s visions of post-apartheid. Sadly‚ due to Gordimer’s description of South African apartheid‚ the South African government censored her books. In “Once Upon a Time”‚ irony was extremely pronounced‚ however‚ in “The Moment Before the Gun Went

Nadine Gordimer’s “The Moment before the Gun Went Off‚” at face-value‚ is an obvious critique of the Apartheid situation that occurred in South Africa in the latter half of the twentieth century.

These low- lights show how bad situations turned out back in the 20th century due to the lack of knowledge and information. In the battle of Somme it shows this‚ because of the lack detail put into the tactic used for Somme‚ not knowing enough information about the area they were going

School-wide Writing In Richard Notkin piece “All Nations have their moment of Foolishness” everybody has their different views on why he made this piece.
