‘Master Harold and the boys’ is a play which is written by Athol Fugard. This play depicts how racism is rooted since decades and which cannot be eradicated easily.
The play is surrounded around a white teenage boy who grows up into the company of two waiters who are from black community. It so happens that while Hally was busy having his soup, he opens up one of his textbook in which he has drawn a picture of his teacher.
Sam, the black waiter starts laughing by looking at the picture. Hally got a punishment for his act from his teacher. Mr. Pretntice stroke Hally’s back with a stick six times. This was not the first time that Hally got lashes.
One part is "Unless we start listening to Mother Nature and start taking care of our lush, green planet, our world as we know it will not be around much longer." It can make the reader seem worried for the planet because they live on it and it not being around much longer than where will they go? It makes them want to help for the sake of them selves. As well as "Every part of nature is being depleted by overuse and lack of care, and no one seems concerned." People don't want to be know as "the bad guys" so they want to start helping so they won't be put into the horrible people title.
