y yourself to ask permission for me to go into the bar. Then I loaded him on to my back like a baby and carried him back to the boarding house with you following behind carrying his crutches.

I do not know if this is a multiple choice question or not, but I would contend that the interaction speaks of how segregated Port Elizabeth was in the 1950s, during the apartheid era. This passage (from <em>"Master Harold"... and the boys</em>) is part of a heated conversation between a young Afrikaner, Hally, and the two African servants that work at his house, Sam and Willie. The relationship between them has always been good, but Hally, who has just found out that his alcoholic father is about to return home from the hospital, suddenly treats Sam and Willie very rudely. Sam wants to smack Hally at first, but he then calms down and starts recalling the day when he helped him fetching his drunk father from a bar. Even though Hally was just a little boy back then, he was the one that entered the bar first and asked permission for Sam to go in. Sam remembers the faces (surely reproving and astonished) of the people who saw them passing by, "a little white boy following his drunk father on his servant's (Sam uses a much more offensive term) back."

One way to interpret the gods in Greek myths is to see them as personifications of forces in nature like the sea or lighting,or
Monica [59]

The approach that Baldwin suggests is that of seeing the gods not as personifications of natural elements, but as gods themselves. Baldwin believes this approach to be more charming and fairer to the stories.

The main reason why Baldwin argues this is that he believes this is what the Greek people intended when telling the stories. By arguing the opposite, we are putting our own ideologies and points of view on them, instead of appreciating things as they described them. We also attempt to give the myths a useful and practical meaning (which he describes as utilitarian) instead of appreciating the spiritual and aesthetic elements of the story.
