CtBC: In-class essay

Using chapters 1-9, you will write a short, coherent essay (including an intro, body, conclusion) analysing the implications of Msimangu's speech. In his speech, he discusses power beginning with: "Because the white man has power...they will find we are turned to hating" (Paton 70-71).

Use the following questions to guide your thought process.
Who/what has power?
What kind of power does (s)he/it have?
Why does (s)he/it have power?
How are people/things using their power? Appropriately? Inappropriately?
Who/what is taking power away from other things/people?
How is the structure of the government giving and taking away power from people and things?
How is the history of South Africa giving and taking away power?

In your essay, you must include a THESIS (you will find out the specific topic in class) and specific evidence/analysis (meaning citations and WHY those citations prove your thesis).

You are using this passage and you analysis of its meaning and implications as the foundation for your essay. I expect you to pull information to support yourself using chapters 1 to 10.

You need to create an outline for your essay so that you can be prepared to write your essay in class on FRIDAY 1/30.
