He loves “occasional skiing trip, listening to music and also reading of poetry” (p. 40). Dr. Franz Josef von Leinsdorf moves to South Africa, and he meets a South African mixed-race lady whom he starts a relationship with. He is not married, and he lives alone in a flat in South Africa. He usually goes to supermarkets to do occasional shopping. The link goes own until the police discover it. The story gives us an insight into the level of racism that existed in the country. It was intense to the degree where it was a crime to have a relationship with somebody for another race. From my point of view, there is a need to avoid racism at all costs, and people should be allowed to be in a relationship with any person they…

 shopping trip On the first shopping trip, I took my teenage sister out shopping at a convenience store in our neighborhood. I accompanied my younger sister to the store to pick a few items for her school trip that was coming up in two days. Once we arrived at the store, using her short shopping list, I observed as my sister picked out the products she needed and seemed to focus on a particular category of snacks, food, confectionery, and toiletries. I once noticed her standing at the magazine aisle, going through the titles and put one magazine in her cart. She also seemed to linger over some makeup items at the shelf but did not pay much attention to any particular one. Our trip did not last more than 20 minutes even though we were not in a rush; the prices were a little higher, but we did not mind given the convenience of quick shopping, we did not care.
