Why does Gordimer mention her house being above a mine in the story Once Upon a Time by Nadine Gordimer

English
1 answer:
Nat2105 [25]3 years ago
7 0

Gordimer was granted the privileges extended to people of her race: white. She fought against the terribly unfair treatments in the South. The mine in Gordimer<span>'s </span>story is a symbol for black labor<span>. </span>The traveling worker labor system made sure of a constant stream of colored mine workers who were forced to work in bad conditions in areas away from cities and work in the mines<span>. </span>

<span>Simpler answer: T</span>he house sitting on top of the gold mine represents the white culture that was built on the work and labor of the colored servant class from South Africa.

An extra fact is that Gordimer say's her house settles and makes creaking noises even when noone is present as a symbol and foreshadowing.

"I do not dislike golf or tennis, and I actually enjoy swimming; yet while these may be sports that one can pursue long after hi
patriot [66]
This sentence seems grammatically correct, but it’s wordy. if this is your sentence in an essay or something, i’d recommend splitting it into two. it could be something like “i do not dislike golf or tennis, and I actually enjoy swimming. Still, they can in no way replace the value of team sports.”
