you have read one). Does it have any similarities with Small Things? Mention a few.

Reflective essay!
Reflecting on Unit 4 of my study guide, I realize how much it has shaped my
understanding and appreciation of novels. In terms of my previous reading experience, I
have explored various genres like crime thrillers, romance, and science fiction. One South
African novel that stands out to me is "Disgrace" by J.M. Coetzee. While "Disgrace" and
"Small Things" have different focuses and themes, they both delve into the complexities of
human experiences within the South African context. They both tackle issues related to
personal identity, societal challenges, and the lingering effects of historical events on
individuals' lives.
