What were you dreaming?

1. Check books and vocab.
2. What is a skollie?
3. During the first narrator's retelling, in what ways does Gordimer use sentence structure and diction to reveal the narrator's social and racial identity?
4. The narrator says, "And I'm careful what I say, I tell them about the blacks, how too many people spoil it for us, they robbing and killing, you can't blame white people," (214). Can we trust the narrator? Why or why not? Keep in mind the narrator's intention and needs.
5. Group Areas Act. Resettlement Act. Orderly Movement and Settlement of Black Persons.
6. "Beside him, she's withdrawn as the other ... Become like her. Complicity is the only understanding" (220). What discover has the man made? How do we know? What does this reveal about the woman?
