Words have incredible power to create emotions, present information, and tell what people have gone through. Though there are many different writing genres, all of them can recognize the greatness of a piece that shows readers what they are addressing, and makes them feel a connection to what’s on the paper. Historical fiction is an often-forgotten genre of storytelling, but can be the most powerful as it takes events that have occurred in the past and creates a story with them. Persia Woolley addresses this idea in his piece about how to write historical fiction and looks at what makes some stories more powerful than others.

In another of Kawamoto’s work, The Demon , the mother-figure in the film undergoes a transformation that impacts family negatively: old age. The Demon begins by presenting the mother-figure lying in bed, dying and unable to care for herself. Shortly after, we see her difficult life flash before her eyes—a life full of loneliness and sadness. The scene later switches to her sons going to hunt for food. During their hunting trip, the sons notice something follows them and eventually realize it was a demon. They immediately go home, only to watch their mother transform into said demon.

Katie’s picture of her mom the day before she passed had vanished. In the frame, she thought of it the night before. Her last glimpse before she had gone to bed. Now the morning arose and her last moment, the one thing she had left, down the drain. The images in her head of her mom gasping for that last fight, that last moment, that last breath. Wiping the tears away Katie could hear her dad from across the hall. Crying or laughing? She asked herself. A few steps down the long gloomy hallway chills were sent up Katie's spine as she could indeed tell it wasn’t laughing. Katie cracked open the door ajar to see her dad on his knees pleading to himself that all hope was lost. “Dad,” Katie called out from the other side of the door. “May I come in?”

In terms of the past part of the novel, I believe Mda presents a nonbiased account of both parties’ views, showing that he does not favor one side over the other. However, it is important to note the fact that Mda was exiled, spent years in Lesotho and America, and The Heart of Redness is the first novel he wrote after returning to South Africa (“Zanemvua…”).
