Courtney creates emotional connections with the reader to the narrator by showing how the narrator was defenceless, alone and outnumbered by all the South African kids and people. When the reader reads this, it makes the reader feel sorrow and emotion for what the boy had to go through at his age. Examples throughout this passage of when Courtney created pathos was when he got pissed on and had to sleep in it and the next day it smelt like he had wet the bed and all the kids were laughing about it. Some more pathos within the text is when he had a cold shower and thinking that it was death, speaking the wrong language and going to a boarding school. Courtney uses a lot of this emotive language throughout the passage to create an emotional response
