Cry, the Beloved Country Chp. 32 Tabs

Three pages into chapter 32 the narrator says that the drought will break today with no doubt. I tabbed this because I thought it was interesting how this is such a good thing for the people living in the valley yet with the way it is worded it seems like it is just an quotidian thing.

Later in the chapter I tabbed the part where the land is being described again, "... all red with the blood of the earth". I did this because it reminded me of the first chapter in the first book when the earth is being described as torn away flesh. I see this description of the earth as a motif accruing through out the entire story.
