Tsotsi Day 7: The end ....

1. Review vocabulary

2. Cry real tears because Tsotsi is dead. And the novel is over. And class is just not worth coming to if Tsotsi and the baby and the Talisman and symbolism aren't around anymore ....

3. Boston & Tsotsi: then and now .... Looking closely at the chosen passages, in what ways has Fugard used Boston as an indicator of Tsotsi's transformation?

4. State of grace: The idea of grace involves forgiveness, salvation, regeneration, repentance and the love of God. Other words may also convey the theme of grace.
  • Using only Chpt 12, find evidence that the novel ends with Tsotsi dying in a state of grace.
  • Insider's tip: Isaiah was a prophet who lived in Jerusalem; according to Jewish tradition he came from royal stock. Famous for saying, "Yahweh is salvation." Yahweh is another name for God.
