Why do you think Nadine Gordimer decided to use elements of a Fairy Tale to write about the aparteid?

- the mistakes that have been done in the past will repeat themselves

- you will trust all the wrong people

at the beginning of the story, elisa just has the small idea of wanting more attention, but as the story progressed, her desire for more attention grew larger. before she talked to the man with the wagon she was just focused on her chrysanthemums but when she talked to him and got some attention she enjoyed it, so she decided to get all dolled up for henry. but when they were on the way to dinner she was so upset because she saw the flowers on the side of the road and realized the man didn't take interest in her like she thought.

they are all talking about chocolate (next time you post a question with "which" post the choices too)

the central idea is basically saying that juveniles that have committed a crime will not have the same consequences as the   adults that have. they will have a softer punishment than what the adults have that is harsh in some ways.
