Question

In at least one hundred words, discuss how many of the same themes in Gordimer’s “1959: What is Apartheid?” are expressed in Fugard’s "Master Harold" . . . and the Boys. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answer 1

In Nadine Gordimer´s "1959: what is Apartheid?"  she quotes "... If you want to know how Africans-black men and women-live in south African, you will get in return for your curiosity an exposition of apartheid in action, for in all of a black man´s life, all his life, rejection by the white man has the last word.

In Athol Fugard´s "Master Harold...and the boys" Hally, one of the characters said "the truth? I seem to be the only one around here who is prepared to face it . We´ve  had the pretty dream, it is time now to wake up and have a good long look at the way things really are".

In both works we can see the level of discrimination and inequality of the Apartheid in South Africa until the 1990´s during Nelson Mandela´s government.

Answer 2

Answer:  

What is Apartheid?  

It depends who's replying. In the event that you solicit a part from the South African government, he will let you know  that it is discrete and parallel improvement of white and black.

All things considered, he may give you any of twelve answers emerging out of whatever part of politically-sanctioned racial segregation he has been raised short against that day, for to him it is neither an ideological idea nor a strategy, however a setting in  which his entire life, getting the hang of, working, adoring is inflexibly encased. He could give you a rundown of the laws that  confine him from seeking to the greater part of the points of any humanized individual, or getting a charge out of the delights that everybody  else underestimates. However, it is impossible that he will.  

What might be at the forefront of his thoughts right now is the issue of how to spare his splendid kid from the  watered down 'Bantu Education' which is presently being substituted for standard instruction in schools for dark  kids. Or on the other hand maybe you've just gotten him on the morning after he's gone through a night in the police cells  since he was out after time limitation hours without a bit of paper bearing a white man's mark allowing  him to do as such. Maybe (if he's a man who thinks about such things) he's inclination angry in light of the fact that there's a  show around the local area he'd not be allowing to visit, or (if he's the sort of man who isn't) he's angered at having to  pay a bootleg market cost for a jug of liquor he's suspended from purchasing really. That is politically-sanctioned racial segregation, to him.
