Cry, The Beloved Country Tabs

I tab a portion in chapter two when the first dialogue shows up. I tabbed this because I found it interesting that Paton used - to indicate when someone is speaking instead of quotation marks. I have never seen a writer who uses this form of writing. This also makes me wonder if you would use a - when you quote his dialogue in a paper.

In chapter three I tabbed the section where Paton is describing Stephan's fear of traveling. I thought that this would later play apart in the story when he is actually traveling to Johannesburg. I have a feeling that this fear will cause some sort of problem in the future.

I tabbed the first part of chapter four because I saw that Paton repeated his description of the soil. I thought that it might be used as a symbol in the rest of the novel. I think Paton will use the soil to represent the people in the story who are suffering.

A little later in chapter four I tabbed where railway-lines and stations were repeated twice. I tabbed them because they stuck out to me. I don't remember Paton repeating anything else like that and it showed that he wanted to place emphasis on those two words.
