In the short story “The gentleman of the jungle" by Jomo Kenya, gender is used to define characters towards others. Firstly Mr. Elephant found it easy to betray his friend the man just to satisfy his needs, from my perspective I think if it was a women Mr. Elephant wouldn’t have done what he did to his friend to the women, instead he would have protected the women from the storm

In addition, the writer stated that “he came along with a superior air, brushing his tusks with a sapling which Mrs. Elephant had provided “.This shows that only man were allowed to become members of the commission, woman just provide their husband with everything they need just to look good.

Teaching this concept will not be easy, but I would use the project-based learning approach. I will avoid segregation amongst my learners. I will address the subject in a gender-neutral dialect and integrate a mix of both genders to do small group project. This will promote equality.

Language or as they say ‘Literary Language’ is the type of language that is used in literature to help the reader make mind pictures or see what the writer is referring to. It is also a style or form of language used in literary writing to make texts be meaningful, compelling and creative.

In the short story ‘Comrade, Heal Yourself’ Sindiwe Magona used language to make mind pictures. How did she do that? From the start of the short story, she writes “from the baby-soft feel of the touch of his hand, the velvety sheen of the skin of his face, to the perfect match of what he wore, luxurious silks and soft, lush wools – each garment quietly announcing DESIGNER.” This is clear that Magona is trying to paint a picture of how handsome and nicely dressed Masondo is in the reader’s mind. In addition, words like “mfowethu” and “broer” are used as an emphasis and give the story that township atmosphere Magona grew up in.

The narrator's judgement on other cultures does not change throughout the story. In the end, the protagonist still shows her intolerance when she says, ''Of cause, I shouldn't say Irish this, Irish that, especially now I am become honorary Irish myself, according to Bess. Me! Who's Irish? I say". The protagonist portrays someone who, although is an immigrant herself, still sees other cultures and ethnic groups as outsiders and is condemnatory of others.

I will conduct a lesson plan involving the history of different South African cultures, then, compare them to today. Engage with my learners to analyze and discuss about different cultures. Give my learners freedom and flexibility, as by the constructivist theory, lessons are learned best through interaction with real life experiences.
