Apartheid was bad for non-whites because they had passbooks‚ most families had a lot of separation‚ and non-white people’s salaries were lowered a lot‚ which led to people’s resources being limited. There was so much suffering and most whites didn’t even care‚ they wanted them to be treated even worse. These people knew how it felt like and soon you will too. Black South Africans were held in a form of imprisonment and could do little to fight back‚ causing Apartheid to be one of the darkest periods

Araby Even under the best of circumstances the transition from childhood into adulthood is a long and dreary journey that all young men must encounter in life. A road that involves many hardships and sacrifices along the way; and when that road is a lonely one‚ with only oneself to rely upon‚ the hardship intensifies to become destructive to those involved.

1. How do you define the concept of attention? • Attention occurs when a person is mentally focused on someone or something and channels other distractions out. In my opinion‚ a person pays attention by active listening and intensively observing. For instance‚ a couple on a date in a crowded restaurant gives one another their attention by keeping eye contact and actively listening to everything one another says. I believe it is imperative to show someone you are giving him or her undivided attention
