The Silk Scarf
Setting
The setting of the story is the shopping centre called the Oriental Plaza in Johannesburg.
Main Character
Mrs Nebo,the wife of a significant figure of the African Front,is the protagonist of the story.She was of an average height and smooth-skinned in complexion.Mrs Nebo was indeed very fussy in wearing clothes that were expensive and of design as well as jewellery.She lived in one of the big houses in the white suburb of Houghton which had a large swimming pool.Mrs Nebo didn't really care if something she needed was very expensive.In other words, she was very rich and she would buy whatever she needed.
Mr Sakur,the shopkeeper, is the antagonist in this story.He was a muslim and never drank alcohol.Besides,he was one of a kind who dealt strictly according to his rules.Also, he didn't mind or fear people with high status like Mrs Nebo who was in this case the wife of an imperative politician.What valued to him most was that as long as people who had cash bought in his shop.He never accepted a cheque from anyone no matter the circumstances and there is absolutely nothing one could do to change his mind.
Plot
Two women,being driven in a Mercedes Benz, went for a shopping voyage to a shopping centre(Oriental Plaza).Mrs Nebo was with her friend Margaret as they entered the shopping centre,both wearing luxurious clothes and jewellery.After buying a dress,Mrs Nebo was in need of a silk scarf that would match her dress.She couldn't find the scarf that she needed at first.After some time,she and her friend together with the two bodyguards came to a shop called Moghul Boutique.That is where Mrs Nebo was shown a silk scarf that she needed and decided that she should buy it.After realising that she didn't have enough cash for the silk scarf,she suggested to buy it with a cheque.However, the shopkeeper,Mr Sakur, denied to take the cheque saying he only accepts cash.For that reason,Mrs Nebo felt humiliated and told the shopkeeper to take the cheque because her cheque was never rejected before.The shopkeeper wouldn't break his rules by accepting the cheque,so he stuck to what he said.There fore,the tension of the argument rose as no one could convince the other.The other shopkeepers heard the dispute,so they came to see what was going on.After the shopkeepers knew that Mrs Nebo was the wife of an important politician and yet Mr Sakur couldn't concur with the idea of accepting the cheque,they decided to buy it for her.This made Mrs Nebo happy and showed gratitude towards them.As for Mr Sakur,he was told that there won't be a place for people like him as soon as the new democratic South Africa took over.

Through the Tunnel
Setting
The setting of the story took place at a wild and rocky bay which was closer to the big beach.It happened during summer holiday.
Main Character
The main character is a young English boy called Jerry.He was eleven years old by then and the only child of a widowed mother.He is a boy who spent much of his time playing on the beach.His hobby used to be swimming.In fact,he was a good a swimmer.Jerry could go to the bay almost everyday and dive in the water and start swimming.He and his mother stayed at the villa which was on the shore of the beach for the holiday.He was one of a kind who liked making friendship with others.Even on that bay,he tried to keep close with boys that were older than him although they tried to ignore him.Jerry would not give up the sport he liked best even when at some point he failed to do what the other boys were capable of doing.
Plot
To summarise the story,Jerry and his mother went on the holiday that they could spend on the beach in summer.His mother had lost her husband and Jerry was her only child.As for her,she was worried whenever she was not with him.At only eleven years old,Jerry would go to the wild and rocky bay where he could dive in the water and start swimming.There was a day a group of boys came to the same bay and start swimming.They could swim past the tunnel of one big dark rock and come out on the other end of it . John felt embarrased to see this because it was something he could'nt do at first.After days of practising and a day before they could go home,he thought he could do what those boys did.To swim through the same tunnel of that rock and come out on the other end was his dream and he could finally achieve it.He has to be faced with many obstacles through the tunnel.The water pushed him against the roof of the tunnel and it was sharp and painful.His head knocked against something which made him dizzy and he struggled passionately as he was running out of air.Also,his nose bled as a result.All in all,it was a sign of victory in the end,he could possibly do what those big boys who were older than him did.His mother knew that her son,Jerry could really swim and yes,it was of great importance to go to the bay from that day.

creating a blog account
At first I thought creating a Blog account will be much more difficult but it was not.
The first thing it asked me to do was to log in with my e mail address and password or to create one if i didn't have.I already have one so I typed it in and clicked on the log in button.After I was logged in is when I was told that I successfully created my Blogger account.That's how easy it was for me.Now that I have become a member of the Blogger,I would be able to share my views with other poeple and give comments on whatever comes up to my attention.I can upload my own photos and music as well as videos on Blog.
