Cry Journal 5

Cry, the beloved country is set into different books for the obvious reason that it switches to the narrator focusing on a different character. I think that the author chose to do this because he wants the reader to feel what it was like in South Africa during this time and it wouldn't be fair to just choose one type of person's perspective. In order to get a real look at this you have to see from different sides. If you only talk about one time of person everything is shaded a certain way and there really isn't much room for discussion, disagreement or controversy. But since South Africa's government was controversial and people did disagree, the book has to show all of those sides in order to model that.
