Williams Daily life example.2: William mostly stays at home trying to fend for his life and find something to eat. Every day he has to watch not only his family suffer but also the people walking past his house and around his community. William goes out to the fields every once in a while to check the tobacco and the corn. The way necessity motivated this change is that he eventually just got so hungry that he had to get some food and not just food but meat. So one night he was so desperate that he and khamba went out to go bird hunting and had to use ashes as bait because that’s all they had and unfortunately his hunt failed. Then a few weeks later the corn was done and everybody was happy again.
This was a very good turning piont in the book for william and it just how desperate he really is for food. So i agree this was something that he needed to change.
This is an excellent example. I like that you included the exact details that lead up to the time when he decided a change was necessary. It's also sad in this case that even though he made the decision to take action, he didn't get anything in return.
William's Daily Life Example 2: The famine was affecting everyone and people were desperate to find the food that seemed not to be available to anyone. If a person couldn't provide for themselves, then you know that Khamba, William's dog, definitely was unable to fend for himself. Khamba was getting increasingly weaker from the lack of food. He had no energy and was suffering greatly. William didn't have enough food to help his dog and he knew that he was hurting, but he was still hoping that Khamba would push through it, so it took some convincing from Charity and Mizeck before William finally agreed to put his dog down. It was the necessary thing to do so that the dog would not suffer any longer
I don't think William would have taken this action if he didn't actually believe it was totally necessary. So, even though I thought it was so sad and wish he hadn't done it, I agree that is a challenge he faced only because it was the right time to act.
Daily Life; William spends most of his time trying to survive, he is trying to get enough to eat to get him through until the next small peice of nsima. He is afraid for himself, and his fmaily. He sees people small as skeltons dying everyday. Everyone was growing inpatient for the corn to be ready, soon he had to try to get a meal, he tried hunting with no luck when the birds saw the bait was only ashes and flew away, he had to get something to eat before he turned into one of the dead lying on the fround. He heard stoires of people growing ill, and stealing from his mother as they tried to fight their chances of survival
Well William has been suffering from the famine and started attending school. He thought that he could escape the hunger at school, but after two weeks he started to feel the hunger again. More and more children keep disapeering from the school as the famine becomes more worse; when the school fees approach a lot of the kids leave school, including William. William stays at home suffering but still working the fields. The maize stalks aren't growing fast enough and the grain is going fast. It gets to the point were William takes khamba out to go hunting, with ash as bait; William gets nothing in return. as time passes William's cousing, Charity, pretty much forces William to put down Khamba. More time passes and the Maize is tall and strong; The Famine was over for William and his daily life finnally became normal again; William was eating healthy and working the maize fields better.
You reference a lot of specific examples of the text, but which is your exact example of action William takes because it is absolutely necessary? Can you explain how challenge motivated him to change in one certain situation?
William has to get up early every mourning to work in the fields because his family has no food and he is not in school. Williams family has no food so he is forced to work in the fields since he has no school.
