'Is There Nowhere Else Where We Can Meet ?\r'
'The story begins with a clever prophetic metaphor, à mouse of elements where the white sky is blackened by smoke. This speaks of the usance reversal that is about to take place surrounded by the races of the boy and the girl. It warns us that there is going to be meeting and it wont be a particularly beautiful one. The title itself incurs thoughts of a romantic meeting, similar to the title of a Hollywood film. This gives the reader a suggestion that there is a sexual theme in this story.II)an initiation story1) Little fierce riding yobo : journey/ hostile nature / sexual flagellum / big bad wolf Particular assist should be drawn to smells, they play vital lineament inthis story. e.g. the strong smell of old sweat burned-out at her nostrils, a filthy rag,a dusty kelvin scent, he was clean, unhuman, the smell of him choked her.2) A backsliding process : turning into an idiot (absence of speech)3) Balance and imbalanceViolence is contained by fear.III) (south-african whi te) girl meets (black) boy : a tale of racial, spacial, sexual, neighborly segregation :1) Irrational instinctive reaction on the girls part2) Sense of place/displacement3) Fear of the UnknownThe story gets abstruse with every minute, the heroine sees some red eyes, she does not knowwhether they run to a dog or to a person. These red eyes evoke fear andsome interest, her hurt starts slaughter faster and faster. The author on purpose did not give any names because she wanted to derive thatsituation and foreground some oppositions: white and black ( racialàcontext ), educated â⬠uneducated, civilization â⬠veld.\r\n'
