Describe the tense conversation between Trevor’s mother and the minibus driver.

English
1 answer:
BabaBlast [244]2 years ago
5 0

The conversation between Trevor's mother and the minibus driver showed how the enmity between the Zulu and Xhosa tribes was violent and full of cruel stereotypes.

We can answer this answer because:

  • Trevor's mother was from the Xhosa tribe, while the minibus driver was from the Zulu tribe.
  • These tribes were enemies and when the driver realized that Trevor's mother was from the Xhosa tribe, he started treating her very badly.
  • He spoke many curses to Trevor's mother and accused her of being a promiscuous and immoral woman, as this was a stereotype of the women of the Xhosa tribe.
  • Trevor's mother didn't take the curses and rebutted them with as much dignity as she could, but that wasn't enough to silence the driver.

Trevor claims that the Zulu and Xhosa trios were very different from each other, particularly in terms of their stances against the colonial elite. He claims that the Xhosa were positioning themselves politically and diplomatically, while the Zulu were positioning themselves in a combative and violent way.

This question is related to the book "Born a Crime."

How does contextual information about the Klondike gold rush help readers understand Jack London’s story and his purpose in the
Alik [6]

Answer:

Jack London spent some time as a prospector in the Klondike. He was aware of how dangerous ignorance could be in such harsh conditions. “To Build a Fire” reflects London’s experience with many foolish prospectors who died from the cold and of malnutrition.

The contextual information suggests why the unnamed prospector in the story might have been overconfident: He was new to the area and might have been misled by popular and sensational accounts of the gold rush. These accounts depicted the prospectors as heroes discovering new frontiers and making their own fortunes. They did not describe the suffering of life in the Canadian wilderness.  

Contextual information also helps us understand the author’s purpose: to expose the truth about the dangerous conditions faced by prospectors during the Klondike gold rush. London informs his readers of what exactly prospecting involves and the importance of knowing the dangers of the environment and one’s own limits.
