,Die gedig (Strofe 1) begin met die ouma se leefwêreld:
hulle leef in groot oop area, lees boeke en bel (phone)
mekaar om te kuier.
Strofe 2 fokus op die ma wat in ‘n huis bly en televisie kyk.
Sy droom van oorsee reis. Sy het die eerste selfoon ooit in
matriek gekry.
Strofe 3 gaan oor die spreker self en haar leefwêreld is net
haar kamer. Sy lees nie boeke nie, maar kry inligting op
internet en klim nie boom nie, maar kyk op Gumtree. Sy
kuier met vriende sonder klank (sound).
,The first stanza describes the life of the grandmother: how she lived
in wide open spaces, there was an orchard full of trees, she read books
to gain knowledge and they had to phone the switchboard operator to
talk to each other.
Stanza two describes the life of the mother: she lives in the city in a
suburb with a garden with 2 trees, she watches television and goes to
the movies, she is very proud that she knows somebody who’s been
overseas! And just before she was in Matric, she saw the first cellphone.
The last stanza describes the life of the speaker, the daughter. Her tree
is Gumtree, she chats quietly on internet, she uses Facebook and she
can access any information by using her computer and the internet all
from her room. The more knowledge is available to her, the less her
need for personal interaction becomes.
, wide open spaces
1. Toe my ouma ‘n kind was, speel hulle op die wye vlakte,
Verwys na die
pomegranates orchard
ouma se sorgvrye
2. deel granate in die boord,
dae “carefree days”
oe-assonansie
Their knowledge & information
3. lees boeke in hulle soeke na kennis was found in books
chat telefoon
4. en klets met maats as die foun twee kortes en drie langes lui.
Tegnologie: telefoon
, ❖ Die ouma se lewe was baie meer eenvoudig.
❖ Ruimte: ouma bly op “die wye vlakte”
❖ Hulle kon hoofsaaklik boeke gebruik om
inligting te verkry.
❖Tegnologie was vir alledaagse gebruik beperk
tot die “foun”.
