    In my opinion, the speech ‘I Have A Dream’ by Martin Luther King Jr. was a better speech in many ways than ‘Glory And Hope’ by Nelson Mandela. The similarities between both the speeches were many too.

The metaphors that are…

    “The Hajji” demonstrates a great deal of inner conflict which can only be understood in a wider social and political context by looking at aspects such as racial separation and the role of the individual and their community. This can be seen by looking at Hassen’s behaviour towards his brother because of Apartheid. The story is set in South Africa; however, the characters are of Indian heritage which shows how racial injustices are linked to the issues of Apartheid. During Apartheid the Group…
