Vrye Vers / Pale-bleek/ Look after-sorg
Notes
‘dis’ small letter- This is done for a specific reason. It refers to the
society. How be little these people that help us and how we dont give
them regonition for the guidance they give us.
1- This indicates that she has to take the taxi to work.
2&3- Figuurlik- This is to show that someone of a poor status has to
come to look after the higher-ranking members of society.
Her work: -She washes the patients
-She feeds the patients
-She removes and cleans the bed pans
NB: She does this every night which indicates that she does not sleep in
the night.
It is not her job to give the patients blankets when they are cold but
she does it.
9&10 – This is there to indicate that no one has any gratitude for her,
for looking after these people and doing the things that no one else
wants to do.
13&14 – breadline- Having the bare minimum to survive. She falls
under the breadline. She can’t afford the most basic important needs.
She does not use it as a reason to do her job. She is selfless.
,2
She is also there for the patients who have passed on. 16- euphemism
to say her mother is dead.
17- She gets the leftovers (krums) at the funeral to eat.
19-22- ‘vra ‘n kind’ – Ma se kind- She asks her what her name is.
The child doesn’t care for the old people. The child should have been
there to look after her mother. She wasn’t there, that is why she
doesn’t know her name.
‘Daarvoor hande klap’ – When nobody is there to applaud her. She
does all these kind acts. She handels all her patients with compassion.
We should learn from this poem that we should also look after our
parents when they are old because they also looked after us for
majority of ourlives.
Notas
• 'dis' kleinletter- Dit word om 'n spesifieke rede gedoen. Dit verwys na
die samelewing. Hoe min is hierdie mense wat ons help en hoe ons hulle
nie weer regkry vir die leiding wat hulle aan ons gee nie?
• 1- Dit dui aan dat sy die taxi moet neem werk toe.
• 2 & 3- Figuurlik- Dit is om aan te toon dat iemand met 'n swak status na
die hoër rangorde van die samelewing moet omsien.
• Haar werk: -Spoel die pasiënte uit
- Sy voed die pasiënte
-Sy verwyder en maak die bedpanne skoon
NB: Sy doen dit elke aand wat aandui dat sy nie snags slaap nie.
• Dit is nie haar taak om die pasiënte komberse te gee as hulle koud is
nie, maar sy doen dit.
• 9 & 10 - Dit is hier om aan te dui dat niemand haar dankbaar is vir die
versorging van hierdie mense en die dinge doen wat niemand anders wil
doen nie.
• 13 & 14 - broodlyn - Om die minimum te oorleef. Sy val onder die
broodlyn. Sy kan nie die belangrikste basiese behoeftes bekostig nie. Sy
gebruik dit nie as 'n rede om haar werk te doen nie. Sy is onbaatsugtig.
• Sy is ook daar vir die pasiënte wat oorgegaan het. 16 - eufemisme om te
sê haar ma is dood.
• 17- Sy kry die oorskietkos by die begrafnis om te eet.
• 19-22- ‘vra‘ n kind ’- Ma se kind- Sy vra haar wat haar naam is.
• Die kind gee nie om vir die ou mense nie. Die kind moes daar gewees
het om na haar ma om te sien. Sy was nie daar nie, daarom ken sy nie
haar naam nie.
• 'Daarvoor hande klap' - As niemand daar is om haar te loof nie. Sy doen
al hierdie soort dade. Sy verhandel al haar pasiënte met deernis.
• Ons moet uit hierdie gedig leer dat ons ook na ons ouers moet omsien
wanneer hulle oud is, omdat hulle ook na die meerderheid van ons lewens
omsien.
