Len Love: by Can Themba
Your response should be 80-100 words in length.
The is story about two people who loved each other deeply and had
to hide their feelings. Micheal is black and Dora is coloured.
The two lovers are eventually exposed when Dora's little brother
Bobby is told at his school that his sister is in a relationship with a
native.
A fight follows and Menner Carelse (school teacher) who is in love
with Dora finds out. He tries to convince the Principal that her family
must be told, and much against the Principal's wishes, he goes to
tell the whole community about what they considered "scandal".
Put yourself in Dora's shoes and write TWO diary entries on
how she feels about the meeting between the two families. One
entry must express her feelings. BEFORE Micheal's beating by
Davie and his friends. The other must express how she felt
AFTER Salome presents evidence in the form of love letters
that Davie has written to her.
