FULL SUMMARY:
In Chapter 10 of 'Permanente Ink', school psychologist Dr. Burke holds a group session with Robert, Amir, Werner, and Zelda. Dr. Burke acknowledges the tension in the room with humor, trying to keep the session simple and painless. He reveals that he had requested the group meeting, surprising the students. Dr. Burke goes on to discuss the individual struggles of each student and their coping mechanisms which often clash with the school's rules. Robert's negligent parents, Amir's family expectations in the Bo-Kaap community, Zelda's misunderstood artistic talent and parents' divorce, and Werner's tragic loss of his mother to cancer and his estranged relationship with his father are all addressed. This brutal reality check shocks the group, particularly Werner who appears visibly distressed about revealing his secret past. Despite his honest confrontation, Dr. Burke expresses his understanding and avows that he thinks their actions are not entirely misguided. He sees them as strong individuals expressing their frustrations and talents creatively, not necessarily wrong. To this, Werner calls out Dr. Burke’s comments as 'Bullshit'. Dr. Burke gives them a unique assignment: present something original that represents who they are. Surprisingly, this doesn't receive much resistance, potentially a sign of acceptance from the students. After the session, the youngsters discuss Dr. Burke’s revelations and suggestions with mixed feelings. Robert is elated, while Amir formulates a hack to investigate Dr. Burke. Zelda remains unsure but looks forward to expressing herself, and Werner remains cynical.
WHAT HAPPENED, IN 50 WORDS:
In hoofstuk tien, stuur skoolsielkundige Dr. Burke die probleemleerlinge - Amir, Zelda, Werner en Robert - op 'n kreatiewe reis om persoonlike uitdagings te hanteer. Werner is ontsteld oor sy ma se dood, en almal moet 'n stuk werk inhandig wat hulle persoonlikheid weerspieël.
FULL SUMMARY:
In hoofstuk tien beland die probleemleerlinge Amir, Zelda, Werner en Robert in die kantoor van Dokter Burke, die skoolsielkundige. Burke maak dit duidelik dat hy hul insette in die sessies gevra het, tot Robert se ongenoë. Burke bespreek die persoonlike probleme en uitdagings van elke leerder wat hulle na sy sessies lei. Daar is 'n verrassende openbaring dat Werner se ma aan kanker oorlede is, wat sy spanningsvlakke aansienlik verhoog. Burke stel egter voor dat hulle almal hul individuele creatiewe talente gebruik om hierdie uitdagings te verwerk. Hy versoek elkeen om 'n kreatiewe voorwerp of stuk werk in te dien wat weerspieël wie hulle werklik is. Werner word versoek om 'n skets aan te bied, Zelda om 'n stuk oor die skool te skryf, Robert het 'n keuse tussen 'n geskrewe komediestuk of 'n graffiti-kunswerk, terwyl Amir gevra word om interessante inligting te versamel. Hierdie werke sal slegs deur Burke gesien word, en nie met Dr. Marais gedeel word nie. Die sessie verlaat Robert opgewonde, maar Werner is sterk van streek, en Zelda en Amir is skepties, maar opgewonde.
