Tsotsi uses Boston''s sickness as a way to explore his own growing sense of empathy and the impact of their violent actions. Boston''s reaction to the murder signifies a potential shift in his conscience, which Tsotsi observes and contemplates.

How did Morris leave the hospital
Aug 01, 2024 11:11 PM
By: teresammabyatladi
Morris, a crippled beggar, is never shown leaving the hospital as he is never admitted to one; he is simply a street character who is encountered by Tsotsi while begging, meaning he would have left the scene by simply moving on with his daily routine, still using his crutches to navigate.
Morris lost his legs due to a mine collapse, forcing him to beg for a living. The main character, Tsotsi, accidentally steps on Morris''s hand, leading to a significant moment of reflection for Tsotsi. The story does not depict Morris being taken to a hospital for treatment.
Feb 19, 2025 10:44 PM
The man swears at Tsotsi and eventually drags himself away on his arms. Morris is a man who lost his legs in a mining accident. Morris represents the hardness of life and Tsotsi wants to release him from the ''nothingness'' of his existence.

What is your response to the portrait of the beggars miserable existence
Jul 28, 2024 10:29 PM
By: shimonapillay53
The response to the portrait of the beggar''s miserable existence is subjective and depends on the reader''s interpretation of the text. Morris lost his legs in an accident. Morris became a beggar due to losing his legs and being unable to find work. The adjective that does NOT describe Morris is A) Proud. Tsotsi chooses Morris as his next victim likely due to his vulnerability as a beggar.

The novel prompts a critical analysis of the societal structures that contribute to the creation of such "tsotsis." It encourages readers to reflect on the systemic inequalities and the legacy of apartheid that perpetuate poverty and limit opportunities for many South Africans.. Tsotsi''s life and the lives of those around him. It explores themes of poverty, violence, and the human capacity for change.
Feb 19, 2025 11:08 PM
Tsotsi''s character is a product of his environment; his "miserable existence" is a reflection of the broader societal issues that plague the community. The novel does not shy away from depicting the brutality and desperation that pervade Tsotsi''s life and the lives of those around him.

What sparks off tsotsi's attack on Boston

Boston''s curiosity about Tsotsi''s feelings and past life makes Tsotsi feel exposed and vulnerable, as he has no recollection of his childhood. Tsotsi''s violent nature is a defense mechanism, and he sees Boston''s questions as a threat to his hardened persona.
Tsotsi is sent over the edge by Boston saying that everyone has a soul and he fears the day that Tsotsi discovers his own soul. Tsotsi reacts violently and savagely beats Boston.

Which three words (all beginning with "b") keep entering Tsotsi's mind?
Jul 14, 2024 10:13 PM
By: ntshengedzenimona
The word "baby" represents the infant Tsotsi has unintentionally become responsible for after a violent crime. "Blood" signifies violence, guilt, and the irreversible nature of Tsotsi''s past actions. The word "brother" evokes Tsotsi''s past, including his lost sense of brotherhood and connection to others.

Why is the Reverend Ransome so troubled
Apr 23, 2024 11:37 PM
By: rafiass0907
Reverend Ransome is deeply troubled because he feels a profound disconnect with the Black community he serves, particularly highlighted by his inability to even know the name of a man he is presiding over at a funeral (Gumboot Dhlamini), which deeply questions his role as a spiritual leader within the community, especially under the oppressive context of apartheid.
Feb 18, 2025 11:45 PM
Gumboot Dhlamini is buried by Reverend Henry Ransome and the reverend is sorely troubled after burying another man whose name no- one knows.

Give a reason why Tsotsi watches Boston.
Apr 09, 2024 03:01 PM
By: yandikinsngidi
Tsotsi watches Boston to learn about Boston and to see how he can break free from his criminal identity. Boston is a member of Tsotsi''s gang who was studying to be a teacher before he quit college and moved to the shacks.
Feb 18, 2025 11:46 PM
there is a conscious change in Tsotsi as he begins to embrace decency, he is in need of Boston''s guidance. This explains why he asks for Boston. It is evident from Tsotsi''s obsession with the baby – his need to constantly protect and nurture the baby – that he is changing.

In what way is the arrival of the baby into tsotsis life destructive
Apr 07, 2024 11:25 PM
By: patricksiboniso56
It evokes tsotsi rules
Apr 07, 2025 11:04 PM
With the arrival of the baby this protection is destroyed because when he looks at the baby he remembers a fragment from his past for the first time. The presence of the baby is also destructive because Tsotsi has to move outside his carefully constructed persona of gangster.

Boston''s physical sickness after the murder is interpreted as a sign of his internal conflict, showing that he is not fully desensitized to violence and still retains some moral conscience.
Feb 18, 2025 11:49 PM
Tsotsi, Butcher, Boston, and Die Aap head to Soekie''s house after the murder to have a few drinks. As they start drinking they begin to talk about Boston getting sick and throwing up during the murder of Gumboot.

Why is tsotsi inwardly uneasy
Feb 20, 2024 12:34 PM
By: kgethegomogale
Tsotsi is "inwardly uneasy" because he is grappling with a growing sense of guilt and a desire for redemption after stealing a baby (Boston) and experiencing the unexpected responsibility and connection that comes with caring for an innocent life, despite his hardened criminal past and violent lifestyle in the township.

What else other than vomit did Boston spill? Why?
Feb 19, 2024 02:47 AM
By: nosiphomathabathe
Boston also "spilled" a sense of guilt and remorse after witnessing the murder of the baby, which manifested in his emotional breakdown and subsequent change in behavior; he was deeply affected by the violence and felt the weight of his own complicity in the crime, even though he didn''t directly participate.
Feb 25, 2025 02:34 PM
he spitt mucus along with vomit and some HCl also came out of stomach. Boston vomiting after the murder of Gumboot.

By: infinitefam013
In the novel "Tsotsi," besides vomit, Boston "spilled" tears after witnessing Gumboot''s death; this signifies his emotional distress and deep empathy for the victim, highlighting his moral conscience in contrast to the hardened criminals like Tsotsi and Butcher. The act of spilling tears occurs after the traumatic event of witnessing Gumboot''s murder.

When Tsotsi leaves the shebeen, he is in a state of profound confusion, mixed with a sense of guilt and a growing unease, primarily stemming from the recent encounter with the baby he has taken into his care, which has stirred up emotions he has long suppressed and forced him to confront a part of himself he has been trying to ignore.
Tsotsi is filled with a mix of emotions as he leaves the shebeen. He feels a combination of anger, guilt, and confusion.
