In at least 150 words, explain how Fugard uses Sam's character to convey the central idea of "Master Harold" . . . and the Boys. Be sure to include transitional words in your response. Use details from the play to support your response.

Answer 1

Answer:Sam is a middle-aged black man who works at St. George's Park. He has worked for Hally's family for years, and is educated, smart, and patient. He has a deep friendship with Willie and is like a father figure to Hally. He is understanding but he also has a breaking point. Race complicates Sam's relationship with Hally, and by the end of the play, he experiences profound disillusionment with the petulant teenager.

Answer 2

Answer: Athol Fugard wrote the drama Master Harold...and the boys. It premiered at the Yale Repertory Theatre in March 1982, and is set in the 1950s.  

Explanation:

• Waiter at the St. George's Park Tea Room and described as a "black man in his mid-forties,"
• Sam Semela works at the establishment. Fugard presents him as an intelligent, cultured, and sympathetic man who is patient with Hally and who genuinely gets Hally's troubles with his family.
• In addition, Fugard portrays him as someone who is patient with Hally.
• He can't possibly be happy working as a servant in a tearoom and having no opportunities, yet he doesn't complain and he seems to accept this dreadful circumstance with some grace despite the fact that it's impossible for him to be happy with any of those things.
• It takes a lot to get through to him and make him give in.
• Smart Sam. Even without a formal education, he has a fascinating mind and tremendous intelligence.
• Sam teaches. Everyone he meets learns something from him.

So Fugard uses Sam's character to convey the central idea of "Master Harold and the Boys".
