EXCERPT FROM GREENFIELDS: Lynda Rogle
…when Ingmar pressed her to attend a nun’s funeral, just to see if it was any different from a normal burial, she agreed. They permitted the children to attend if they chose to do so. It was not something Glenda planned to repeat, however. This was solely to satisfy Ingmar’s curiosity and allay her boredom, or so she told herself. Having only ever been to Doric’s funeral, a moving if stressful experience for her, she found the impersonal, dry-eyed ceremony for the late but seemingly unlamented Sister, a little chilling to say the least. It was Ingmar’s first experience of a funeral ceremony and she was suitably impressed by all the solemnity, but she could not resist a mischievous whisper, “Hey man, these people look more dead than she is. I wish she’d wake up and put some life into them. Can you imagine how they’d run out of here, hey?’
‘Only you could think of something as daft as a corpse putting life into the living. The only thing is she wouldn’t be a corpse anymore if she got up, would she?’
‘Ja, man, but it would be a scream, hey?’ was her gleeful pun in response.
‘Ingmar! Now you want to be entertained at a funeral?’
Glenda was horrified and afraid that someone may have heard and that they’d both be banished in disgrace.
‘Ja, but they seem so lifeless. There should be more feeling at a funeral. You know, more snot and trane man?’
‘Okay! These are nuns, remember. I guess they aren’t supposed to show too much feeling or something,’ Glenda tried to explain. The more worldly Ingmar was unconvinced.
‘What about that nun in your old school? Remember, you told me about how the crazy priest klapped her one?There must have been plenty of feeling and action then, hey?’
‘I didn’t say they were perfect,’ Glenda returned lamely.
As they left the cemetery the irrepressible Ingmar continued her musing,’You know what I think?’
‘No, but I have a feeling it won’t be flattering to the dear Sisters now will it?’
‘No really, it’s just this–those nuns take out all their frustrations on us because they have to obey all those stupid rules. You can’t do this, you can’t do that, and they are even told how to feel? A person can’t live like that man.’
‘Tell me, Ingmar, ever heard of something called discipline?’
‘Too often in this place! What I say is there’s discipline and discipline.You know what I mean?’
‘Nooo, but I’m sure it’s something very wise though.’
‘Don’t you get sarcastic with me, my girl. I’m serious man.’
‘Okay, okay. Explain your version of discipline, oh wise one.’
‘Discipline is when you stop yourself from murdering someone when you really want to kill them, like I used to want to kill your brother sometimes last year when I was still his cherie. On the other hand, you will never make me believe that stopping yourself from crying when you feel sad, is discipline. That is just plain stupid, my friend. You just see, one day you will agree with me and say, ‘man that mad Ingmar was right, hey’. Just you wait and see, the people in this place are not normal. All they know is punish, punish, punish, and it does nothing for discipline, right? Look at yours truly,’ she ended with a cheeky gesture at herself. She went off whistling as usual, to the annoyance of the nun on pail-carrier duty nearby, who shook her head in disapproval before she resumed her pacing and returned to her interrupted prayers…
The story is set in the midlands of Natal, South Africa, in the decades of the nineteen fifties and sixties. The two boarding schools were run by a religious community instead of the government, because of scarce education facilities in rural areas for Coloured children, during the apartheid era.

Wonderful post but I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this subject, thanks!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you
relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site
when you could be giving us something informative to read?
What video?? This post is an excerpt from a book I wrote. You can find it on Amazon, titled “Greenfields’
I think the admin of this web site is genuinely working hard for his
site, since here every stuff is quality based material.
Thank you.
First of all I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which
I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center
yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I have had a
difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems
like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or
hints? Thanks!
I think creatives are all unique. I tend to mull over a thought or an idea a long time before I write, sometimes for days. Other times I wake up with a bright idea and write it down for later development. If I simply sit down to write without a specific idea then I allow my mind to drift completely relaxed and it happens. I’m not your 500 words a day type of writer. Hope this helps.
I really like what you guys are up too. This sort of clever work
and exposure! Keep up the awesome works guys I’ve included you guys
to my blogroll.
Thank you.

comment to support you.
I was wondering if you ever considered changing
the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or
2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Appreciate good advice. Are you referring to ‘Greenfields’ article specifically?
