The first part i chose to tab was on page 277. It was the paragraph that described the storm. This dark description contributes to the tone of this whole section. The author paints the picture of this intense storm by using words such as, "dark", "threatening", "all was shadow", "thunder rolling", "no ordinary storm".
The second thing i tabbed was the quote, "red blood of the earth". I think the red blood signifies death and all the characters that have died in this novel. To me, this connects those characters to the land. As the people suffer, the earth suffers to, it bleeds and feels the pain.

I have noticed the similarities between the land and the Kumalo family. Their descriptions in the novel are parallel. From the very first page, the beautiful, peaceful, serene setting is painted so passionately. And the Kumalo family is happy and calm as well. As Kumalo's family goes through the pain and the sorrow of their son's trail and death, the land changes also. The setting becomes dark and is described very fearful. Intense storms with lightning and thunder and rain that pound the earth's floor, shows the feelings that the Kumalo family goes through.
