Cry, Different sections, why

The author of Cry the Beloved Country, chose to break his book up into different sections so he could change the point of view in his story. By changing the point of view Paton gave us a different perspective on the story. He gave us the view of the dad whose kid killed a man and the veiw of the dad whose son was killed. This gave us diferent meaning to the story, at first we were sad for the father and his son but now I am very upset for the family of the deceased man. the switching of the point of veiw gives you a more whole story.
