Tsotsi Essay

Throughout the book called “Tsotsi”, Tsotsi showed amazing growth in his way of living, how he acted, and in general how much of a better person he became. Before that though, Tsotsi was a thug that had no memory of his past. In the beginning of the book, Tsotsi was known as a street thug that gave no sympathy to anyone and was considered a very dangerous person to be around. In the middle of the book, Tsotsi starts to change as a person as he shows certain traits that were not suppose to be expected because of how he was before. And towards the end of the book, Tsotsi now I could say has become a “dynamic” character as he changed throughout the book for the better. Here are examples that Tsotsi has changed.

In the beginning of the book, Tsotsi like I said, was a very dangerous person to be around. No one knew who Tsotsi was, not even himself and if people were to try and ask questions about him or, Tsotsi would react and it was to react with violence and anger. He showed this specifically to one of his friends, Boston in the beginning of the book. Boston was in a bar called “Soekies” with Tsotsi and everyone else in the gang. Tsotsi got into a fight with Gumboot and Tsotsi ended up killing him. When Boston tried to question Tsotsi and basically tell him he went to far, Tsotsi turned on Boston and beat him up crippling Boston really badly.

In the middle of the book, Tsotsi is starting to change and show traits that were never expected for Tsotsi to have, not because he can’t have them, but because of how he acted before. This all started when he found a baby from one of his victims. This baby is what gave Tsotsi one of the first glimpses from his past and for that to happen, Tsotsi started to take care of the baby and get certain necessities like for example milk. Not only that, Tsotsi for the first time also showed sympathy for someone. That person was Morris Tshabalala. Tsotsi had plans on killing Morris and when he had his chance, the little talk with his victim is what I think changed Tsotsi’s plans of killing him. Not only did he feel bad for Morris but he also didn’t kill him.

Towards the end of the book, Tsotsi to me has become a “dynamic” character because he has changed so much since the beginning of the book. An example of this is Boston. In the beginning of the book, Tsotsi beat up Boston for his disagreement of his actions, but towards the end, Tsotsi returns to “Soekies” bar and brought a crippled Boston to his place to talk. He showed he still cared for him and had sympathy for what he did to him way back. Another and probably the biggest example to show Tsotsi’s growth is the baby. He now wasn’t only taking care of it to get another glimpse or reminder of his past, he is taking care of the baby because it is now his full responsibility. It is now a must for him to keep taking care of that baby and he really proved this at the end of the story where he ended up risking his own life to protect that baby. At the end, Tsotsi did die while going to protect the baby, but when his body was found, he had a smile on his face. Nothing was said about the baby at the end but my guess was Tsotsi had saved the baby causing to have a smile on his face at the end.

With this being said, throughout the book, Tsotsi has “grew” so much as a person. As starting off as a street thug that was very dangerous and violent, he turned into a person that showed responsibility, sympathy, and care. Something you wouldn’t expect from a guy who before, was not that type of person.
