Throughts in a train
The excerpt from the short stoy "Thoughts in a train" written by Mango Tshabangu in 1980 an published in "The Heinemann book of South African short stories" talke about two black boys named Mzongi and Gezani who go by train from soweto to Johannesburg during the apartheid era.
Firstly, this text starts talking about one of the black boys explaining they current situations in a train and now they feel by passing a train for white. When they finally arrive at the rich suburbs of Johanesburg they have a stange feeling caused by somethin eerie in the surrandings and not by the policeman who snake whith they dogs at blck boys walking through Johannesburg. Sine they havn't linown this fear lufore, it seems to a valued relationship and a white boy without hatred. Connencted to his negative views of his parents I considere that Victor starts questioning. Why his parents accepted segregation and have and have done so little. Furthermore Victor realizes that he hadn't really understood what it meant to be black, so he couldn't do anything against it because of his non-understanding, In this regard Victor convinced himself that e would have done more than his parents for example to refuse the National Service, like Charles Backer did, This Victor is able to do some grand geshues.
