“The Train from Rhodesia” by Nadine Gordimer
Conflict
How can conflict be shown in the story?
The conflict was about buying the iron and then feeling like her husband bought it for
less than it was worth.
How can conflict be resolved?
It can be resolved by not buying or trying to bargain for it. They need to work it out by
talking instead of fighting.
Theme: Central Idea
What have I read recently that had an effective idea?
I’ve recently read “Night” and I felt that had a really effective central idea. The theme
was the author’s personal experience about the holocaust and his anguish during that
time.
