Journal #6

An image that has been repeated throughout the book so far is prostitution. I think the author chose this to show the sexism and status of women in the current culture of the black community. A phrase that's constantly repeated is that no one comes back from Johannesburg. This just shows how dangerous and forlorn the outlook is for these people. Something else that seems to repeat a lot is the fact that young black boys are killing old white women. Im not sure if this a one sided comment or if it actually happens all the time, but either way this is not good. It means a generation is growing up murderers and thugs.
