The Cycle of Inequality/injustice

In the Novel the Cycle of inequality and injustice was almost always present. We learn as the book unfolds that South Africa has a lot of problems. The people do not think about the consequences that their actions will make on other peoples lives. They only think about what is good for them. In Absalom's case he and his friends were not wise in trying to steal from an innocent man. Absalom didn't think that having a loaded gun might accidentally hurt someone. Absalom and his friends were only thinking about themselves and it ended up taking the life of an innocent person. I feel that not only does Absolom represent a lot of the injustice that happens in South Africa but it shows that South Africa is a country that is suffering. a lot of people are poor and it causes them to do bad to keep food on the table for their families. As long as South Africa as a whole thinks about themselves and not other people their nation will have a major problem with cruel injustices. Although there might be a lot of injustice in South Africa their are people who strive to try and keep the country under control.

 Nelson Mandela was a man for Justice and equality and great example to South Africa and the way it should run.
