Explanation:
What did being free mean to Mandela as a boy and as a student how does he contrast these transitory freedoms with the basic and Honourable freedoms?
He builds the contrast between these two freedoms by stating that the transitory freedoms he wanted were limited to him, whereas the honourable freedoms had to do more with his and his people's position in the society. Answer: Explanation: In his boyhood, Mandela enjoyed every freedom.
No, Mandela does not think that the oppressor is free. According to him, an oppressor is a prisoner of hatred, who is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. A person is not truly free if he is taking away someone else's freedom. : There were many difficulties faced by "Nelson Mandela" in achieving "freedom" for his people. "Nelson Mandela" was "imprisoned for 27 long years" because he didn't give in to the authorities' pressure. He remained true to the idea he believed and stood for – an apartheid - free country.
Mandela had high hopes for the future of South Africa. He pledged to liberate all South Africans from the continuing bondage of poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination. He also stressed that the beautiful land of South Africa would never ever experience racial discrimination again.
Answer:
1 Like any other kid, for Mandela freedom meant to make merry and enjoy the blissful life. Once one becomes an adult, antics of childhood looks like transitory because most of the childish activities are wasteful from an adult’s perspective. Once you are adult, you have to earn a livelihood to bring the bacon home. Its only then when you get an honourable existence in the family and in the society.
2 Mandela does not think that the oppressor is free because according to him an oppressor is a victim of hatred who is behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. He realises that both the oppressor and the oppressed are robbed of their humanity and peace.
