IsiNgesi UDavid ulala Ungomnye wababhali abaphambili abanesithuba esingaphezulu kwesiqingatha senkulungwane emva kwakhe, nangona wangcwatywa ngeyona ndlela intengiso. Kuba into ecace gca yeyokuba, ngaphaya komkhwa wokufunda yeyona nto ibalulekileyo, ukuze ingqondo ihlale isetyenziswa njengeyona "misipha" igqwesileyo, impumelelo yoluhlobo oluthengisa kakhulu ibhloka ukufika kolunye uncwadi ubungakanani obukhulu bezinto kunye nefom.
Nangona kunjalo, akukho nto ingangcikivwa, ngumcimbi wokukhetha ukhetho. Mna ndingomnye wabo baziphosa kumtsha UJoel dicker njengamagqabi. Yinto nje yokuqonda oko ababhali abanjengoLodge bongeza ixabiso kuncwadi yamkelwa kuphela ngamanye amaxesha, kwinqanaba lokuthengisa, kunye nokuhamba kwexesha, xa imisebenzi yababhali abona baphakamileyo bethengisa ixesha elide kwaye banokuba bazalisa iihollyhocks.
Kwinxalenye yeLodge (isenokutsha kunye nohambo olwaneleyo), kunye nokungaqiniseki kwinoveli okanye izincoko ezikhule kakuhle, uthatha imiqulu emitsha ehambisa umbono wokuba kufuneka kufundwe ngokuzolileyo, iyanelisa xa kunikwa ingqwalaselo enkulu kuye kunye nesithandwa esikrokrisayo.
Nje ukuba kusiwe kwisizathu sokucacisa iLodge ukonwabela amabali ayo, kufunyenwe nehlazo elinomkhenkce elizelwe kukuziphatha malunga nobomi, lihlala linombono wokugxekwa okujonga yonke into, ukusuka kwinkolo okanye kwiingcinga ukuya kwimfashini. Ke ngoko, ngeLodge, sivuswa yimvakalelo yakudala yokuba uncwadi lunokuba yinto engaphaya kokubalisela ukuthanda ukwazi okuphela kwesiphumo, xa yonke into ebaliswayo inenqaku lokugqibela.

Ubomi kwisidenge
Izithulu zihlala zifuna ukwazi. Ndikutsho oku kuba xa sifumene umntu ongaboniyo siyazilungisa, sicenga ukuba sincede ngalo lonke uhoyo lwethu. Kwaye xa sidibana nomntu ongevayo, siphakamisa ilizwi lethu ngakumbi kwitoni yokuphelelwa lithemba kunye nokungonwabi, phantse ngalo lonke ixesha songeza umgca wethegi ongavakaliyo ukhalazela imeko enjalo.
Mhlawumbi yiloo nto uLodge wakhetha ukuba sisithulu njengokhubazeko oluhamba phezu kwebali lakhe kwaye oko kuphelela ekubeni ngumqobo omkhulu kunxibelelwano kwabo bevayo kunabo bafuna ukuva yonke into. Xa iyunivesithi yadibanisa isebe lezolimi nelesiNgesi, uNjingalwazi Desmond Bates uthathe umhlala-phantsi kwangethuba, kodwa akalonwabeli; ulangazelela isiqhelo sonyaka wezifundo.
Ukuphumelela kade komfazi wakhe, uWinifred, kuya kuthabatha amandla, kunciphisa umyeni kwindima yeqabane kunye "nomgcini wendlu," ngelixa ukubonakala okuhlaziyiweyo kweqabane kwenza iminyaka yabo yokuqonda ingonwabisi. Ukuyeka. Kodwa oku kungoneliseki akuyonto xa kuthelekiswa nentliziyo yokulahleka kwendlebe, engumthombo oqhubekayo wengxabano yasekhaya kunye nobunzima ekuhlaleni. Ngenxa yokuba sisithulu kwakhe, u-Desmond uzifumana exhomekeke kwinethiwekhi yomfazi omncinci oziphethe kakubi nosongela ukuzinzisa ubomi bakhe njengomhlala phantsi.
Imiphefumlo nemizimba
Mhlawumbi hayi kakhulu ngoku, ubuncinci hayi kuluntu lwethu lwaseNtshona, kodwa kumashumi ambalwa eminyaka edlulileyo ukuvuswa ngokwesondo kwabonakala ngathi ngumba apho inkolo nayo inendima yayo yokufundisa. Ngesi sihlandlo sisondela eNgilani ehlala iziphatha kakuhle kwezona ziphaluka ezikhethiweyo (kwaye ngokwandiswa kuzo zonke ezo meko-bume ezingathanda ukubonisa iwonga elithile), nakwisimo sengqondo esiphazamisayo solutsha lwamaNgesi olwaziwayo ngumntu wonke xa lususa ubucukubhede. kwiindima zabo.
Sonke sihamba ngezinto zethu eziphikisanayo. Kodwa ezona zibi kakhulu yilezo zivuka phakathi komzimba nomphefumlo, phakathi kovuyo lwenyama kulutsha olupheleleyo kunye nekhwelo lokuqulatha isithethe samaKatolika esibhaptizwe phakathi kogqabhuko lwentlalo lwamashumi amathandathu ...
U-Polly, u-Dennis, u-Angela no-Adrian, iqela lama Katolika aselula angamaNgesi, njengabo bonke abantu, banyanzelwa ukuba bagcine "ubumsulwa babo bokomoya" kunye nokuziphatha kwabo okuhle ngexesha labo leyunivesithi eLondon. Kodwa amashumi amathandathu ayililo ixesha elilula lokunamathela "kwimikhwa elungileyo." Kwelinye icala, kukho isini kunye nepilisi; kwelinye icala, iCawe ayiyeki ukugrogrisa abo bangakhathaliyo ngezohlwayo zesihogo.
Iminyaka idlula kwaye iqela lisuka ebuntombini obusisidenge ukuya kumtshato ekuvunyelwene ngawo omncinci, emva koko kukrexeza kunye nokungakholelwa ngokupheleleyo. Ungaya kude kangakanani ukuba uThixo usoloko ekujongile? Ngokucaphuka ngobomi bakhe, "Imiphefumlo neMizimba" ngumfanekiso weasidi eNgilane ogqitha usuka kwinkolo uye ekulahlekelweni ngokupheleleyo kobumsulwa. Ebukhali kunye nengxabano, eyona ilungileyo uDavid Lodge ubuya nomdlalo omnyama malunga nezesondo, ubuKatolika kunye nolutsha. Incwadana yekharityhulamu engalibalekiyo, ethandabuzekayo kunye nehlekisayo.
