* Paton notes:
- Ch. 1: Contrast, Symbol, Theme, Allusion in the land
- Ch. 2: Characterization
- Ch. 3: Exposition (learning of the city)
- Ch. 4: Poetic Description (opening paragraphs); syntax, point of view;
- Ch. 5: Theme: Race. "The tragedy is that they are not mended again" (56).
- Ch. 6: Theme: Forgiveness; city
- Ch. 7: Theme: John Kumalo, race; Msimangu: "I have one great fear in my heart, that one day when they are turned to loving, they will find we are turned to hating" (71).
- Ch. 8: Narrative perspective; notice how the third-person perspective becomes interpretive, almost intrusive, in its foreboding omniscience ("Have no doubt it is fear in their eyes..."(77)).
- Ch. 9: Vignette: This is a sketch of life that does not directly relate to the main character's search for his son. This is a technique Paton picked up from another writer with social concerns, John Steinbeck.
- Ch. 10: Theme: Loss ("from every house something was gone" (93)), Despair (bottom of 99), forgiveness (101).
- Ch. 13: Reference (Isaiah 42:6; 42:16; 40:28; 40:30-31); motif (fear); symbol (golden); allusion ("transfigured" and "lifted")
