Answer 1

Diary Writing.

Explanation:

• Dear diary,
• Today, I was at an event and read my ever famous poem fire and ice. The reaction of the audeince to it was spectacular given the history of South Africa and its recent troubles. My poem reflects the suffering of black people. The Africans have been treated terribly by the ruling governments. They need freedom from White people and their tyranny. Hope this movement will change the entire dynamic of Africa.  
• Yours truly,  
• Nelson Mandela.

Answer 2

Ans - 10 May 1994, Tuesday 10 p.m.

Today, when I am the President of South Africa, I can’t help recalling Robert Frost’s ‘Fire and Ice’.

My countrymen faced oppression and adversities caused by both desire and hatred. We have been the victims of such cruelty. The people of South Africa spent fifty years in the struggle against discrimination based on the colour of skin. Today, when we have gained freedom, it is like our world has gained life. Till now we were dead because our freedom had been snatched away from us. I agree with Robert Frost’s view that both Fire and Ice can destroy the world. However, I feel that ice is stronger than fire, hatred can cause much more destruction as compared to greed.
