QUESTION 1 TRANSFORMING MOMENTS The narrator's school life among other students. In the girls' dormitory my bed was at the far corner from the entrance, far enough from the Matron too. So, long after the lights were switched off, my deep voice would be heard droning away, doing what we had termed coughing' - I used to 'cough' out chapters and chapters of our set books and history to my classmates who'd left it till too late to do their schoolwork 5 and the big test was on Monday or so. While I helped them out, it also helped me to do the 'coughing', it also helped to revive my memory. because I had read the book and then carried on to read others that had nothing particular to do with the syllabus. Some girls were forced to be my part-time friends for this reason. But then came one day when we 10 were rehearsing a new play and the boy from Port Elizabeth walked up to me and told me that he loved me and wished I'd try to love him too. Well, I thought he was crazy! What did a good-looking boy like that want witGi me - and besides I went to school to study, not to sleep with boys! I told him so.
