Gordimer paints a picture of Johannesburg to support her point of view about apartheid. This allows the reader to experience her life in apartheid. In a short essay of at least two hundred words, discuss whether you think this technique is persuasive or if Gordimer should have directly stated her views on apartheid.

Answer:

In "1959:What Is Apartheid?", Gordimer paints a picture of Johannesburg, the city she lives in, to support her point of view about apartheid. She writes about her experience with being raised in a home with servants and the prejudice that her family, and basically the rest of the white people had against black people. “But no black man has his home in the white city; neither wealth nor honour or distinction of any kind could entitle him to move into a house in the street where I or any other white persons live. So it easily happens that thousands of white people live their whole lives without ever exchanging a word with a black man who is like themselves, on their own social and cultural level...Out of this experience all the platitudes of apartheid sound endlessly, like the bogus sea from the convolutions of a big shell: they're like children . .. they don't think the way we do . .. they're not ready ..”. Gordimer explains how the white people viewed and thought about black people. She is persuasive in the way she describes how segregation had treated black people more drastically.  I think she did stated opinion clearly, Gordimer is against apartheid and thinks it was terrible and dehumanizing how the “servants” were treated.  

The technique used by Gordimer is persuasive because, in Gordimer’s essay, she explains that people of color take the jobs that no white man wants and that they are not allowed in any bar, club, etc.

Apartheid was a system of enforced racial segregation that lasted from 1948 until the early 1990s in South Africa and South West Africa.

Apartheid was defined by an authoritarian political culture centered on baasskap, which ensured that South Africa was governed politically, socially, and economically by the country's dominant minority white population through majoritarianism.

This strategy is compelling since Gordimer states in her essay that people of color do jobs that no white man wants and are not permitted in any bar, club, or other establishment. And that no lady is permitted. And she does an excellent job of detailing what people of color and women faced at the period, as well as why they couldn't do what white males could.

A white guy could accomplish tasks that no woman or brown person could do. A white guy might vote and be seen at a bar with more freedom and liberties than a black or female person. And a white guy may serve in the military or be paid more than a black or Hispanic man or woman. A black guy could vote, but it didn't count, and women couldn't vote.

Read the scenario of a formal discussion. Martin and Savannah are analyzing a poem.

MARTIN: This poem is about hope. In the first line, the poet describes the rising sun as a "beacon of hope.” This imagery sets a positive mood to match the idea that the speaker is emerging from a time of struggle in his life.

SAVANNAH: I believe the poem has a darker theme. In line 6, the rising sun fades behind some thick, dark clouds. While I agree that the rising sun does symbolize hope, that hope quickly fades.

MARTIN: Yes, the sun does fade, but a glimpse of the sun was enough to spark new hope in the speaker. Line 7 explains how the speaker emerges from his house to venture out into the world again. He is doing this despite the sun fading behind the clouds.

Which statement best describes how Martin addresses Savannah’s point of disagreement?

He concedes to an alternate viewpoint.
He summarizes the point of disagreement.
He refutes her argument with sound evidence.
He highlights the common ground of their arguments.
