In this excerpt, the author describes a position and a role of black women in the society. One of the biggest problems of the black woman from the excerpt is a fact that she wasn't able to speak about her thoughts and feelings, because her opinion and needs were considered irrelevant. This type of women was oppressed from both communities: a white community oppressed her because of her skin color, while a black community oppressed her because she was female member of their society.

In this excerpt Kumalo's wife must hide her own feelings, as she was not allowed to express it in front of her husband. She was worried about her son, Absalom, but she had to be mute as an ox without any opportunity to express herself in the society.

Cry, the Beloved Country is a novel written by Alan Paton, published in 1948. This novel talks about racism and segregation that are becoming an integral part of his country, by telling a story about Stephen Kumalo, who travels to Johannesburg to visit his sister and to find his son, Absalom.

In this excerpt from "dover beach" by matthew arnold, which two lines or sets of lines suggest that the speaker has undergone a loss of faith? the sea of faith was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. but now i only hear its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, retreating, to the breath of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear and naked shingles of the world. ah, love, let us be true to one another! for the world, which seems to lie before us like a land of dreams, so various, so beautiful, so new, hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, nor certitude, nor peace, nor for pain; and we are here as on a darkling plain swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, where ignorant armies clash by night.
