Dialogue About Poor Innocentia
This girl can take care of her man.
She caters to him.

At some point, I thought something had happened between you and Innocentia.

Why would you think that?

I don't know, but whenever you two were in the same room, the mood would change.

The life you live...

I don't understand it, and I never will...

but my boy...

you're my son.
I'll support you till the end.

- You'll tell me, right?
- Yes...

but please go now before anyone sees you...

- and disturbs our plans.
- Let that devil come!

Tomorrow is the day, right?

Are you ready?

Okay, see you tomorrow.

Poor Innocentia.

Ma, so you've decided to poison her?

Don't talk rubbish.

I'll slap you. I'm still your mother.
Watch how you talk to me.

No. I mean there's something different.

Were you waiting for me to move out?

I'm on my break.
It's nice having a sister wife.

And since she's on conjugal duty,
I have time to do this.

She must just feed our husband the 'velvet cake'.

No. My poor ears.

I don't want to know that. No!

This means Nkunzi's...

prayers were heard, and I quite like this arrangement.

It works for me.
I love having a break.

Talking about prayer reminds me of MaNzuza.
I'm going for a jog. I'll see you later.

Listen...

come join us for dinner this evening.

I want to train you on how to get a wife.
Or two or three.

Nice plump wives you can have some fun with.

Bye, Ma.
I've forgotten what I wanted to say.

You'll come back later, right?

I'll see.

Knock, knock!

You? Cleaning?
I never thought I'd see the day.

Hello, friend.

I'd forgotten how irritating you are.

Clearly, our girl's feeling better.

She's running her mouth.

What are you saying?
That my

You can go leave me in the middle of nowhere.
I won't come back.

People say I'm crazy.

But don't believe that.

- Don't make a fool of me.
- I know that you're not crazy.

I know Lindiwe sent you.
I'll give you twice whatever she offered you.

She's not paying me.

She's my friend.

I'm doing this for free.

Please.

Please don't use that thing.
Rather shoot me.

Don't panic.

Don't you love my machine?

My machine.

Hello...

Smangele.

I'm sorry to show up unannounced.

Bafana, we agreed that you'd never come back here.

Relax. I'm not here to attack you.

Nkosinathi's alright. He's with his parents.
You and I should make peace.

I hope Buhle feels the same way.

Buhle's a good person.
My battery died. Is my friend here?

Bafana, please leave Zweli alone.

What would I do to him?
When I came back...

I met up with him and we ironed things out.
We're alright.

So what do you want here?

I'll come back when he's home.
Tell him I came looking for him.

I forgave you long ago.

You should do the same...

and forgive yourself.

Cheers.

Please, Lindiwe.

Please tell her to stop.
I promise I'll never hurt you again.

My friend, remember...

we agreed that we'd squash her head?

You're a true

    The holocaust was a time of pain, and misery; of loss, and death for six million innocent people. Sometimes, though, when faced with a plethora of appalling statistics that illustrate the immensity of this genocide, we lose sight of the individual victims themselves. It is helpful at such times to narrow our focus to an instance or two, to close our eyes to the devastation played out on a vast scale, in order to appreciate the suffering each individual or families experienced. At Stratford, "The Diary of Anne Frank," written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hacket, which is adapted by Wendy Kesselman permitted me to do just that. This compelling play confines the action of the story to a concealed storage attic, in which the claustrophobic realities…

    A lesson taught by Atticus in To Kill a Mockingbird is that you should never kill a mockingbird because they only create music and harm nothing. What Atticus meant by this is that you should never hurt an innocent person no matter the situation. In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird the mockingbird symbolizes all that is innocent and all that is harmless in society. Harper Lee uses two characters to show the innocence in people and to show how this innocence is often killed: Tom Robinson and Boo Radley. The theme in To Kill a Mockingbird, that often the innocent are harmed by the wicked unjustly and intentionally, only to be saved by the brave and intelligent, who try hard to show society who these people really are is clearly articulated throughout the novel by the use of the symbolism of the mockingbird infused in the…

    Earnest Hemingway states that “all things truly wicked start from innocence.” This quote applies to Mayella Ewell as she corrupted herself and her innocence throughout To Kill a Mockingbird. Though Mayella may seem wholesome, she is a wolf in sheep’s clothing due to her part in the death of a virtuous, innocent man and then her part in the tormenting of the dead man’s wife. In chapter twenty-five, Scout realizes that “Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed,” (Lee 323) while she was pondering how a clearly innocent man could be tried as guilty (Lee 323). This quote illustrates how Mayella seemingly did worse than kill a man; she also had him declared guilty of a false crime, staining his reputation. To outsiders it will seem as if he was righteously killed, and what…

    In Frank O’Hara’s “Ave Maria,” he explores the topics of teen angst and the ageless act of “going to the movies,” which becomes a recurring symbol carried throughout his poem. He uses the movie theater as a motif for freedom and the liberation of innocence. This relationship is developed through symbols within the movie theater and the language used to describe it. O’Hara’s comparison between movie theaters and the liberation of innocence is important because it reinforces his overarching message that all children will eventually grow up, but that mothers must allow their children to do so in order to prevent them from later getting blamed for shielding them from the darker joys of adolescence.…

    You’re father’s right. ‘She said’ Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs. They don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.(119)…

    Melton McLaurin s book Celia, A Slave is the account of the trial, conviction, and execution of a female slave for the murder of her master in 1855. The author uses evidence compiled through studying documents from Callaway County, Missouri and the surrounding area during the middle of the Nineteenth Century. Although much of what we can determine about this event is merely speculation, we are able to guess the motives that contribute to the way in which many of the events unfold. Because of the details of the trial, many of the people involved probably faced several difficult decisions that led to the outcome of the trial.…

    The book To Kill a Mockingbird has many different themes. One that really stood out to me was Childhood Innocence, because the story is written from Scout’s point of view it portrays her childish and immature thoughts towards all of the events that happen in her life. Not only is Scout childish at times her brother Jem and her friend Dill also show irresponsible actions through the games they choose to play and the way they react to different things such as getting in trouble or just barely getting out of a tight spot. This analysis will go into depth of the continuous example of childhood innocence throughout the book.…
