Tell Freedom Rewrite

Global Literature
Unit: South Africa

“Tell Freedom”

As we learned throughout our past units, there is a lot of grey area in this world. Issues are not black and white. To show your understanding of this, please rewrite the ending of “Tell Freedom” from the perspective and voice of one of the other characters. (Aunt Liza, Uncle Sam, White Baas, The young Bassie). Start with the door being pushed open and get into the head of this other character. Remember people are complex. No one is simply filled with hate. What lies beneath this? Use writing tools you have learned to show this (flashbacks, metaphors, similes, allusions). Think about how your character responds externally and explore this story internally from their perspective. For example, what made the Young Bassie so cruel? What caused Liza’s spirit to break? For this rewrite, you may only use 3 lines from the actual story (you will probably want to use dialogue). Really dive in to the internal conflict.
