Its says "The agonized sounds of the bed spring woke the baby in the bathtub on the floor," The baby is in a baby bath on the floor. From this whole flashback you can tell that they don't live in very good conditions. from  the Apartheid.

Chokers first flashback reveals the conditions he is used to living in, for example ' It smelled of sweat and having-been-slept-in-unwashed, and it was torn and threadbare and stained'. This suggests that he was used to living in these conditions. ' He was used to blankets like this', this conveys to the fact that poverty is not new to him.

In flashback two, Choker is a young boy with his brother, in a camp for people who can't afford their own way of living. During this flashback, Choker has to share a blanket with his brother, which is "thin cotton". His brother has taken the whole blanket from Choker as it is quite cold. "Well, I can't mos help it, man. It's cold". This shows that Choker's childhood may not have been very good for him, as he hasn't got his own blanket, or even his own bed to sleep in; he has to share with someone else, taking away from his own childhood need.

Flash back 1
The first flash back shows the reader how he had been exposed to poor, rough conditions in the past. When describing the blankets as rough, and worn, the author says how "he was used to conditions like this." Evidence suggests that he was exposed to these rough conditions whilst in prison. This evidence is that his stab wounds were as a result of an "old enemy who had one sworn to get him", which shows that he has most likely been involved in crime.This would result in a prison sentence where he would have been exposed to these conditions.
