However,Elie's school is three miles from his home,and his family couldn't afford the school fees and bus fare.So,he is out of school,and in order to make money,he went to Johannesburg,but one main problem was that there was time that blacks couldn't live without passbook.Luckily Mandela helped Elie again he told him how to get right papers.
In order to suppott Mandela ,Elie jion Youth League,although he didn't like to agianst violence with violence,he helped Mandela to blow up lots of government's building,because he believe that ,there would be a world which blacks and whites is equal.
