Journal #11

In Cry, The Beloved Country the land parallels the Jumalo family. It is breaking as their family breaks down along side it. One example of how they parallel is when Umfundisi goes to Johannesburg to find his sister he enters a completely strange land. When he finds his sister he also finds a woman completely strange and different to him. As the family gets worse so does the land. When Kumalo returns home after his son is sentenced to death he finds the land has dried up. The stream runs empty and the crops are dying so soon their will be nothing to eat or drink.
