  9. Foreshadow Out of these quotations, which quotation BEST foreshadows the events of the novel’s plot about the Kumalo family? • All roads lead to Johannesburg (83). • “Huh” said Msimangu, “that is something to marvel at”(75). • “But the church too is like the chief” (67). • “I did not like your son’s friends. Nor did my husband. That is why he left us”(72).

  10. Mood Mood: The atmosphere that pervades a literary work with the intention of evoking a certain emotion or feeling from the audience. In drama, mood may be created by sets and music as well as words; in poetry and prose, mood may be created by a combination of such elements as SETTING, VOICE, TONE and THEME. The moods evoked by the more popular short stories of Edgar Allen Poe, for example, tend to be gloomy, horrific, and desperate. For this learning center, find three words in Cry, the Beloved Country that BEST conveys the mood in Johannesburg.

  11. Key Vocabulary • Add these words to your journal. Write 1-3 sentences using at least three words. • Corrugated- (adj.) wrinkled (56) • Vacillate- (verb) to waver mentally as in doubt (76) • Ruefully- (adv) regretfully (81) • Intimation- (noun) a hint; a subtle sign (41) • Stipend- (noun) a fixed sum of money for services (31)
