anecdote


The text "1959: What is Apartheid?" is an essay. It is not a narrative story about Gordimer's time in Africa. The excerpt is a small story about an incident where whites and blacks quick to join sides. Anecdotes are small stories used to emphasize the author's point. This anecdote would be used to support the idea that the races were so divided they would defend someone of their own race without even considering what was truly right. Characterization is the way an author develops a character. Imagery is a detailed desription to paint a picture in the reader's mind. Symbolism is where a concrete noun represents an abstract idea.
