Fiction †Love Essay

The two literary works that I have chosen were Country Lovers and What Its like to be a Black misfire, to me they share the same opus of Race and Ethnicity. Country Lovers was a real good short figment that described slamrs of the country. What its like to be a Black Girl was a short poem that talked active the background of race and the dilemma of ethnicity. To me the poem and the short story two talked active race and ethnicity, they were both represented and distinguished by the vitriolic female.She was considered as the master(prenominal) character in both poems. After translation the short story Country Lovers and the poem, What Its Like to Be a Black Girl I concluded that they were using the same theme like race or ethnicity. The short story and poem were in short explained, and the two literary works were based on a opaque female. The short story Country Lovers written by Nadine Gordimer in 1975 happened on a South African farm, I found this story to be very hear tfelt about true love between Thebedi and Paulus.Thebedi was a black girl who worked on a farm, and Paulus was a young white boy in South Africa. Paulus was the son of a farm owner, and erst I get hold of the story it was evident that the theme was about the miscellaneous problems and affinitys. The Story was based on love, which is something I loved about the story. The main characters were Thebedi and Paulus, as they grew they started spending more time together. Something that stood put to me was that Paulus was the son Thebedis farm owner.Thebedis father was the servant of the owner of the farm Mr. Eysendycks, so Thebedi had grown up as a farm girl work as a servant for Paulus father. When Paulus was about twelve or long dozen he wanted to go off to school for higher studies, so they will be separated. This story mainly describes their interracial relationships, the innocent love they share for each other, and the gifts they shared. Later on in the story the bank clerk c learly explained about the couples break ups, that takes place when it comes to the side of education.Later on in the story Thebedi became pregnant, Paulus did not know she was pregnant. She told her friends in the carol that she has a boyfriend or a sweetheart in the farm, and nobody knew about it. Thrbedis friends teased but admired her, the story also duologue about another boy named Njabulo who liked her and wanted to buy her a belt and some earrings. The word love in this short story to me was considered to be lust lust played a great fictional character in the story.Lust takes over as described here when Paulus has no regards, the story talks about how he gets into piddle with other girls. The schoolgirls he went swimming with at dams or pools on neighboring farms wore bikinis but the locoweed of their dazzling bellies and thighs in the sunlight had never made him feel what he felt now when the girl came up the bank and sat beside him, the drops of water beading off her da rk legs the only points of light in the reason smelling deep shade.They were not afraid of one and only(a) another, they had known one another always he did with her what he had done that time in the storeroom at the wedding, and this time it was so lovely, so lovely, he was impress and she was surprised by it too, he could front in her dark saying that was part of the shade, with her big dark eyes, shiny as soft water, honoring him attentively as she had when they used to huddle over their teams of mud oxen, as she had when he told her about detention weekends at school. (Clugston, 2010).The racial and ethical dilemma occurrence also becomes a noticeable factor as we read further into this short story Paulus Eysendyck arrives home from the veterinary college he was attend for the holidays. Upon drinking a glass of fresh milk in his yields kitchen he over hears a conversation between the servants in the house say where they could get a reliable substitute to sponsor out no w that the girl Thebedi had a baby he became take aback and had to find out the truth immediately for himself, so he goes to Thrbedis hut by the kraal to see for himself and also a place he had never been since he was a small boy.When he reaches the hut and sees the baby first hand He struggled for a turn with a grimace of tears, anger, and self-pity. She could not put out her hand to him. He said, You havent been near the house with it? (Clugston, 2010). So now in this part of the story we can truly see that it is illustrated, that the truth is and was a racial and ethical dilemma. Back then it was forbidden to have a mixed child, being of black and white ethical backgrounds.Paulus also has thoughts of cleaning himself and his certain reactions, his tone and choice of words reflect on racial dilemma, they both smelled trouble brewing in the air . Their forbidden relationship shows how he knew that such thing was not tolerated in his community it was insufferable in this ethical society. References Clugston, R. W. (2010).
