A Sunrise On The Veld A Sunrise on the Veld Review this essay In "A Sunrise On The Veld" by Doris Lessing, the protagonist gains a greater consciousness through the exposure of a new reality and truth of which he was not previously aware. It was impossible for them to ignore the new realities, which they both came to understand. The new found awareness was so powerful that it changed each boy’s entire outlook and they both began to see the world through new eyes. The type of initiation both characters had was a distressing journey from innocence to knowledge and experience. The protagonist of A Sunrise On The Veld accepted his experience of initiation . The boy’s attitude was stoical: "...this is how life goes one, by living things dying in anguish." 2 His feelings were of acceptance. In the beginning, the boy felt in control of himself in every way, and came to feel in control of the world in which he lived. This attitude changed completely after his encounter with the dying buck. He accepted the fact that there was nothing he could do to help and that some things were not in his power and were beyond his ability to control.
