FULL SUMMARY:
Chapter 6, "Die goed wat jy met jou saamdra," presents Greg torn by guilt for damaging his friend Plank's potential relationship with a girl named Lisa, due to his notorious past being exposed. They discuss their struggles with their fathers' legacies while dining at Neelsie, a student gathering place. Greg talks about carrying his father's stigma, feeling that he never can escape it, despite moving a thousand kilometers away from home. Greg thinks they are becoming clones of their fathers, carrying the labels doing their deeds. Plank gives Greg a reality check, reminding him that he can't change the past or rescue his father from prison. Greg considers a slim chance of his father's appeal being successful, but Plank insists that Greg focus on the present and live his own life. Grateful for Plank's blunt honesty, Greg apologizes and promises to make amends, to which Plank replies, "Kom ons sê maar net jy skuld my een." After the meeting, Greg considers the possibility of reducing his father's punishment by targeting 'the Baker', another person involved in the terrorism and murder with the deadly virus, equally guilty but not yet caught as the police couldn’t identify him. Greg thinks that attempting to find the Baker's identity could help his father, seeing it as a penance. As his idea takes shape, he ends the day in front of his laptop, determined to solve the mystery of the Baker and bring him to justice.
WHAT HAPPENED, IN 50 WORDS:
In "Donker Web" se sesde hoofstuk worstel Greg met sy pa se nalatenskap en sy eie identiteit. Plank stel voor dat hulle hul ouers se nalatenskap voortduur. Greg besluit om die onbekende "Baker" op te spoor, om sy pa se skuld te verminder.
FULL SUMMARY:
In die sesde hoofstuk, "Die goed wat jy met jou saamdra", erken Greg sy skuldgevoelens aan sy vriend, Plank, oor die onrustigheid in Plank se verhouding met Lisa. Greg voer 'n interne stryd oor sy pa se onethiese gedrag en hoe dit sy eie lewe beïnvloed, met 'n besonder sterk fokus op hoe ander mense hom sien as gevolg van sy pa se misdade. Alhoewel hy sy eie persona wil skep, blyk dit asof hy nie van sy pa se skaduwee kan ontsnap nie. Plank stel die voorstel dat hulle hul ouers se nalatenskap voortduur, 'n insig wat Greg ontstel. Greg herinner hom aan 'n gesegde van sy ma: "Die goed wat jy inpak, is die goed wat jy met jou saamdra." en erken dat hy die stempel van sy pa se misdade dra. Plank se advies, dat Greg sy eie lewe moet leef ongeag van sy pa se skandalige gedrag, en die regterlike proses teen sy pa, gee vir Greg 'n oomblik van perspektief. Die hoofstuk eindig met Greg se besluit om die onbekende "Baker" van 'n vorige misdaad op te spoor. Hy glo dat hierdie daad van geregtigheid sy pa se skuldigheid sal verminder, terwyl tegelykertyd 'n ander skuldige aanspreeklik gestel word. Greg sit voor sy rekenaar, gereed om te begin soek na die misterieuse "Baker".
