Cry, the Beloved Country Chapter 24

By Alan Paton

Chapter 24

Jarvis revisits his son's home. He walks in through the back door, past the blood stain on the kitchen floor, which is pretty horrifying, if we may say so.
While he's poking around, he finds an article called, "Private Essay on the Evolution of a South African."
In it, Arthur writes that, because he was brought up by good, kind people on a decent farm, he was raised not to know anything about the real (unfair, cruel) South Africa.
In his essay, Arthur promises to devote his life to helping his suffering nation.
