In the end of the short story "The Old Chief Mshlanga", the girl's father decides to keep the twenty goats that trampled down his land. This decision deeply affected Chief Mshlanga's people, since these goats belonged to them, and not having them would mean that they would go hungry when the dry season begins. Thus, it was selfish from him to keep the goats.
It is easiest to order your ideas when you have developed an outline of your ideas.
An infinitive is the word "to" plus a verb so if you see that in a sentence its probably an.infinitive (I'll give an example below)
Ex: Renee suprised her sister to scare her.
-The infinitive would be "to scare" because it could be mistaken as a verb but the actual verb is "surprised"
Hope that helped!
Perplex : To confuse or trouble with uncertainty or doubt.
