HOW WE WILL TEACH GENDER (GENTLEMEN OF THE JUNGLE), LANGUAGE(WHO’S IRISH) AND CULTURE(COMRADE,HEAL YOURSELF!) IN A SOUTH AFRICAN CLASSROOMS.

The best way to teach the Gentlemen of the Jungle would be to use comics. Then the learners will dramatize the story, in that way they will get an idea of how gender is addressed in the short story. The students will then discuss how they perceive gender.

The best way to teach the language in ‘’WHO’S IRISH’’, is to read the book out loud and have the learners to point out errors in the text. Then after correct the errors from the story, have the learners write longer transactional text with correct spelling and well construction of sentences.

We can teach culture by having students discuss the significance of cultural values presented in the story. Students could explore parallels between the cultural values presented in the story and their own personal beliefs, and explore how cultural values in the story might have influenced the comrade’s decision-making process.

THE GENTLEMEN OF THE JUNGLE
The Gentlemen of the Jungle is written by Jomo Kenyatta. The story consists of no female characters or female animals, and animals are given human characteristics .Animals are seen as Gentlemen and they are addressed as “Mr”, and that is how gender is addressed in the short story. The writer tries to show us that the jungle is not a place for females, and that is stereotypical. Although the animals were seen as Gentlemen, they also gave the man a hard time. Gender is displayed in the title of the story. The writer attempts to provide the reader with an idea of what the story is all about just by reading the title of the story. The reader might also think that maybe the book is only for Gentlemen just by seeing the title. Men are unsympathetic,e.g." and while they were all embroiled together the man set the hut on fire and burnt it to the ground"(page 2; Gentlemen of the Jungle book). We can conclude that the writer is sexist.

WHO'S IRISH
The short story ''Who's Irish'' is written by Gish Jen. The language used in the story is very informal, the construction of sentences is not well aligned which makes it very difficult for the reader to understand. The narrator speaks improper English, and she often does not finish her sentences. E.G: ''But, okay my son-in-law can be man, I am baby sitter''(p.5,ll.13). the narrator here didn't construct her sentence well and it could be difficult to find the context or what is being discussed. However, there way narrator used language in the story can also suggest that the story is written from past experience, moreover it would suggest that the narrator is actually an immigrant in the United states( where her daughter lives and married) and she is not used to speaking English often.

COMRADE, HEAL YOURSELF !

In our South African cultures women are not allowed to be independent and work , but instead they are expected to be housewifes and do housework only .Times have changed and now in the modern era things are done differently and women are independent and can choose to be a housewife or work ,the short story expresses this through Sisipho who follows her ambitions despite her culture restrictions.

Sindiwe Magona also addresses culture by showing the importance of trust and during the post -apartheid era, black people valued trust more than anything and completely trusted each other ,so in the short story the murder of Masondo who is Sisipho’s husband shows how much black people value and trust and how they will react when their trust is betrayed ,this explains Masondo’s murder ,he was murdered by his comrades because he betrayed their trust .In the black society’s culture ,being betrayed by one of our own can’t simply be forgiven or forgotten. Culture is also expressed in the short story when the pastor offered to hold the funeral of the doctor ,this shows the importance of having a pastor in a funeral ,a pastor provides emotional and spiritual support to those in mourning and help's them to find a sense of closure during a difficult time and a pastor acts as a link between the ancestors of the family and the family of the deceased.

This is how culture is addressed and how our society perceives the world and how our culture is transmitted from generation to generation ,this short story describes this best by using post- apartheid era as a way to explore culture and show how black people haven’t changed much from back in apartheid
