Cry The Beloved Country
500 words"Cry, The Beloved Country" are very emotional words. This happens to be the title of one of Alan Paton's most famous novels about turmoil in South Africa. The question of why he chose this title for his novel can be answered in several ways. Perhaps its because of the racial segregation in South Africa.

This is perhaps the most important thing to walk away with after having experienced a piece of literature. It is sometimes difficult to find the underlying theme of a s...
