Cry, The Beloved Country: Anticipation Guide

“Poor people are poor because they are lazy and don’t work enough.” “If you are desperate, the means justify the ends.” Prior to reading Cry, The Beloved Country, class members complete an anticipation guide that focuses on issues raised by Alan Paton’s tale of racial inequality in South Africa. After completing the novel, readers return to the guide and compare their current thinking with their initial responses. Complete instructions for crafting an anticipation guide are included.
