Cry, The Beloved Country Discussions
| Cry the Beloved Country by Alan Paton. | | I thought the book Cry the Beloved Country was overall, good, just because I lost interest at some points. It was informative in the way that I was able to learn some history on South Africa. One thing I learned was about, what kinds of situations were occuring in Johannesburg not only with the natives, but with the Aficaners too. The social system was extremly unfair which plays a big factor in the story. The black South Aficans were put under the white South African's control and were givin all these restrictions. They had troubles with economics and equality. It seems their daily lives were threatened in one way or another. We see how all of this comes into effect when a father of a small town Ndotsheni, searches for his son who hasn't returned from the big city of Johannesburg. Along the way we see how these conflicts such as injustice, come into act in the father's journey. We also see the relationships among the different races. This is a good book to read if you are interested in the history of South Africa and past and present day problems that are still going on. | |

7)ANTHEM (Ayn Rand) 8)We The Living 9)Mission Earth (L. Ron Hubbard) 10)Fear (L. Ron Hubbard)*11)ULYSSES (James Joyce)I have to admit it was a still strange that it consisted so much of Objectivism and Scientology but can't complain since I am a fan of Ayn Rand even though I have only read her non-fiction. I did do some surfing and found a few articles comparing Hubbard and Rand so maybe its not strange, Rand has her share of critics too. BOARD TOP 12:

| | Do You ever cry when your work mate resign from the office? | | Well just today, in the morning, i see one of my friend in the office cry. When i ask her, she said that her friend will resign from the office. Her Friend got a better job and decide to take that chance. My friend feel a big loss because she feel loose one of her best friend. But she also happy because her friend can make a better life.For me, although i am sad if one of my workmate resign, but i actually never cry for them. I know they will have a better life, also, since all of my friend that are resign from the office actually resigned because they have found a better job, it's another reason for me not to cry. I always think, that friendship is bigger than workplace, so i can still connect to my friend even if we now work for a different company. In with current technology and social network site, it become more easier to keep connected.How about you? Do you feel sad that you have to cry, do you feel sad but not crying, or it is not affected you at all.Thanks for responding. | |

| | Did you want to cry so hard even there's no reason to? | | Since I was young, I have lots of bad experiences, and I don't share them with anybody. I keep them to myself. Oftentimes, I would release them by thinking of a particular bad experience and cry so much till there's no more tears or I fell asleep. I do this since I was 10 years old. I did it while washing dishes, or doing laundry, or watching TV, or before going to bed. I continuously do it till now that I am grown up, if I don't do it, I feel very depressed and my mood becomes off. Do you think it's healthy? Did you have same experience as mine? | |
