The story is told in the third person point of view. that the omniscient narrator is restricted to tell about the thoughts, feelings and actions of only one or a few characters. The narrator is rather unlimited - he does not comment on the story.
Exposition: In the exposition in the story Karlie is at a rally at the Grand Parade in Johannesburg, South Africa. The speakers at the rally are talking about equal rights for blacks and whites.
Karlie is in the crowd listening very carefully to what the speakers have to say, and he is making some thoughts about what they are really saying. He is asking himself questions about his rights in society and his right to exist like any other human being.
In the exposition there is also a flash back where Karlie is thinking about his home in Cape Town.
Rising action: Karlie leaves the rally and goes to a train station. He wants to catch a train and think about all these things he has heard today. Then he sees a bench where it says: "Europeans only". It makes him think about how unfair the blacks are being treated in society and how everyone just accepts it.
He sees the bench as an opportunity to challenge the apartheid system and he goes and sits on it. Karlie is expecting a big reaction from the people who go by but no one seems to mind. Then a white man comes and tells Karlie to get of the bench because he has not got the right to sit there. Karlie refuses to leave and there are more and more people gathering around him.
Climax: The outcome of Karlie's stubbornness is that there is a big fight, but Karlie just sits on the bench and says nothing. He does not comment on any of the remarks from the crowd.
Then a policeman comes and forces Karlie through the crowd. Karlie follows him smiling. He has won the fight. He has concuerd. (Story ends).
