PRESCRIBED POETRY
Answer any TWO of the following questions.
QUESTION 1: POETRY ~ ESSAY QUESTION
Read the poem below and answer the question that follows.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds — William Shakespeare
(Sonnet 116)
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error, and upon me prov’d,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov’d.

QUESTION 2: POETRY — CONTEXTUAL QUESTION
Read the poem below and then answer the questions that follow.
Decomposition — Zulfikar Ghose
Ihave a picture I took in Bombay
of a beggar asleep on the pavement:
grey-haired, wearing shorts and a dirty shirt,
his shadow thrown aside like a blanket.
His arms and legs could be cracks in the stone, 5
routes for the ants’ journeys, the flies’ descents.
Brain-washed by the sun into exhaustion,
he lies veined into stone, a fossil man.
Behind him, there is a crowd passingly
bemused by a pavement trickster and quite 10
indifferent to this very common sight
of an old man asleep on the pavement,
I thought it then a good composition
And glibly called it The Man in the Street,
Remarking how typical it was of 15
India that the man in the street lived there.
His head in the posture of one weeping
into a pillow chides me now for my
presumption at attempting to compose
art out of his hunger and solitude. 20
2.1 How does the word “shorts” (line 3) contribute to your understanding of the beggat’s
suffering?
2.2 Refer to line 11: “indifferent to this very common sight”
Explain what this description reveals about Bombay’s society.
2.3 Refer to line 8: “he lies veined into stone, a fossil man”

2.4 At the end, the speaker has a complete change of attitude.

QUESTION 4: POETRY — CONTEXTUAL QUESTION
Read the poem below and then answer the questions that follow.
Follower — Seamus Heaney
My father worked with a horse-plough,
His shoulders globed like a full sail strung
Between the shafts and the furrow.
The horses strained at his clicking tongue,
An expert. He would set the wing 5
And fit the bright steel-pointed sock.
The sod rolled over without breaking,
At the headrig, with a single pluck
Of reins, the sweating team turned. round '
And back into the land. His eye 10
Narrowed and angled at the ground,
Mapping the furrow exactly.
I stumbled in his hob-nailed wake,
Fell sometimes on the polished sod;
Sometimes he rode me on his back 15
Dipping and rising to his plod.
I want to grow up and plough,
To close one eye, stiffen my arm.
All I ever did was follow
In his broad shadow round the farm. 20
I was a nuisance, tripping, falling,
Yapping always. But today
It is my father who keeps stumbling
Behind me, and will not go away.

QUESTION 7: THINGS FALL APART - CONTEXTUAL QUESTIONS
Read the extracts below and then answer the questions that foliow.
EXTRACT A
One of the men behind him cleared his throat. Ikemefuna {
looked back, and the man growled at him to go on and:not
stand looking back. The way he said it sent cold fear down
Ikemefuna’s back. His hands trembled vaguely on the black
pot he'carried, Why had Okonkwo withdrawn to the rear?
| Ikemefuna felt his legs melting under him. And he was _ |!
| afraid to look back. 7,
As the man who had cleared his throat drew up and raised
his matchet, Okonkwo looked away. He heard the blow.
“The pot fell and broke in the sand, He heard Ikemefuna cry,
“My father, they have killed me!” as he ran towards him.
Dazed with fear, Okonkwo drew his matchet and cut him
down. He was afraid of being thought weak. > i)
As soon as his father walked in, that night, Nwoye knew
that Ikemefuna had been killed, and something seemed to :
give way inside him, like the snapping of a tightened bow.
He did not cry. He just hung limp. WJ

Do you agree with this point of view? Justify your answer by referring to the novel.

EXTRACT B Obierika, who had been gazing steadily at his friend’s 1
dangling body, turned suddenly to the District Commis- j
sioner and said fetociously: “That man was one of the :
greatest men in Umuofia. You drove him to kill himself; i
and now he will be buried like a dog...” He could not say |
any more, His voice trembled and choked his words. !
“Shut up!” shouted one of the messengers, quite
unnecessarily. &
“Take dowh the body,” the Commissioner ordered his l C
chief messenger, “and bring it and all these people to the !
court.” :
“Yes, sah,” the messenger said, saluting. |
The Commissioner went away, taking three or four of the I
soldiers with him. In the many years in which he had toiled i
to bring civilisation to different parts of Africa he had learnt Shi
a number of things. One of them was that a District |
Commissioner must never attend to such undignified details
as cutting down a hanged man from the tree. Such attention |
would give the natives a poor opinion of him, In the book
which he planned to write he would stress that point. As he |
walked back to the court he thought about that book. Every !
day brought him some new material. The story of this man i
who had killed a messenget and hanged himself would make i
interesting reading. One could almost write a whole chapter i
on him. Perhaps not a whole chapter but a reasonable as
paragraph, at any rate. There was so much else to include,

SUGGESTED ANSWERS TENA ~— Ge: jl
QUESTION ONE — LET ME NOT TO THE MARRIAGE
Essay must include but not be limited to the following points, (structure:-1)
Introduction
Statement of theme of the permanent/never-changing/eternal nature of love.
Diction — various words with strong connotations of permanence.
“marriage” ~ legally binding, permanent contract expecting commitment of forever. Also, a covenant
made in the presence of God.
“this minds” not a base/carnal relationship motivated by emotion/lust/hormones but one founded
on understanding.
“bends” lacks flexibility/ability to “alter”
“never shaken” — adverb never expresses
certainty in loves ability to remain unmoved.
Imagery — all point to ability to withstand.
“ever-fixed mark” hyperbole emphasizes permanence
“marriage of true minds” commitment of mind and spirit/soul in God’s presence,
“mark” ~ metaphor: permanent alludes to birthmark.
“looks on tempests” — personification: Power greater than nature’s forces thus not threatened.
Tone ~ focus on absolute certainty of love’s permanence
“Never” — certainty, “O, no!” joyous conviction emphasised by exclamation. Rhyming couplet —
dramatic, Bold statement challenging in its certainty.
QUESTION TWO
DECOMPOSITION
2.1 The beggar, in the deprivation caused by poverty, has also lost his dignity and self-respect as he
is forced to wear the clothes of a little boy and expose himself in public.
2.2 Poverty is a serious/widespread (“common”) problem in Bombay to the extent that people have
become desensitised (“indifferent”) to it. Bombay’s people appear to lack compassion in their failure
to acknowledge the suffering of a fellow human being.
2.3 This metaphor suggests that the beggar is not recognised as a living, breathing human being
worthy of attention. He has been reduced to no more than material/remains left over from the
dead. He is treated as if he is no more than an impression on the stone which effectively conveys the
main Idea of the loss of human dignity. I + Trmage dlacusseel + Ih apt In comet
2.4 Yes. “glibly” reflects the speaker’s uncaring attitude which is further conveyed by his description
of the scene as “typical” which is callous and insensitive. However, when he notices the “weeping”
which is an expression of pain and suffering, the speaker is filled with pity and feets guilty and
ashamed of his earlier attitiida Ha chanoac fram a rlatachad man dauatd af anmmenncte ke
|
|
QUESTION THREE
A woman is not a potted plant
3.1 The structure clearly mirrors the message of the poem. The lines are arranged to present a visual
of a plant in a pot standing strong and sturdy. It’s lack of attachment and restriction is symbolised by
the varying line length and the random places at which the lines begin and control. This implies there
is no controlled pattern. The elongated appearance mimicks one’standing tall, implying a woman’s
pride in her freedom and independence which is the theme of the poem, ‘pours: (2)
(One point explained)
3.2 “contours” has the connotation of a woman’s feminine, sensual curves. It paints a picture of a
stereotypical female body which Is “trimmed” (shaped into “contours”) to meet the ideal. (2)
3.3 These are the common factors that restrict a woman. She is born into a “race” which through its
culture and values provide a standard to which she must aspire. Her mother who raises her, instills
in her the notion of womanhood and trains her to fulfill this traditional role. Her husband has
expectations of her as a wife and mother, from which she is not to deviate. (3)
Must explain all three — ‘race, mother, man’ — for three marks)
p
3.4 All of the metaphors convey the idea (theme) of a woman’s freedom of self, independence,
individuality and equality to man.
“wilderness” is the epitome of freedom because in this environment there are no rules, controls,
boundaries, fences — everything grows and lives without restrictions. There is no “trimming”
“ynbounded” means not tied/chained which means the absence of control/restrictions and the
freedom to choose.
“holding the future” gives woman control and power. It relates to her as mother ~ raising and
nurturing children whose ideas and values she influences thus being able to change the ideals
relating to womanhood.
“not creeper vine” she is unlike a vine which must be attached and dependent on other for its very
existence.
“honeysuckle” is a twining plant that coils around something in order to thrive. But a woman is “not
honeysuckle” because she can stand up on her own as an independent individual.
“pee” is an insect that cannot survive without plants from which it extracts honey. A woman
however can survive on her own — free of attachment/dependence.
Must explain any two and give the message. (441+1) (3)
QUESTION FOUR
FOLLOWER
4.1 Son admires his father’s skill and ability. Respects the knowledge he has gained from experience.
4.2 The list is included to support/emphasize the fact that he was a “nuisance” by showing the many
ways in which his presence was potentially inconvenient/annoying/bothersome.
4.3 The “shadow” image is appropriate on both a literal and metaphoric level. Firstly, the son as a
little boy literally followed his father around the farm and since the father is an adult man he would
have a “broad shadow” (big). Secondly, as a boy, he wanted to be as good as his “expert” father but
fails falls short so remains in the “shadow” of his father, Thirdly, he never matched his father — not
only in his skill and expertise, but also as a man because while the father displayed patience and
tolerance, the son is impatient and intolerant. The son remains in the “shadows” proving to be less
of aman than his father, Ymarkiecplary ahow + Ve aptmese
4.4 The central Idea of the poem is the nature of and relationship between the young and the old/a
father and son. This idea is explored through the diction and tone which reveal the speaker’s
extreme annoyance towards his father who is now old and “keeps stumbling” and “will not go
away”, This speaker is clearly impatient and considers the father a burden. Yet by his own admission,
he was a “nuisance” as a little boy but his father tolerated his incessant “vapping, tripping, falling”.

QUESTION FIVE
ALONE ~ UNSEEN POEM
5.1 This is the theme of the poem/ the main idea. By repeating the speaker asserts her position
clearly and authoritatively. There is no room for doubt and the key message is reinforced. (2)
(One point explained)
5.2 Millionaires, despite having a great deal of money, are not happy because they can’t “use” their
money to get joy (“heart of stone”). They have become cold, unfeeling, indifferent towards others.
They neglect their wives and children resulting in them becoming miserable “banshees” or forced to
“sing the blues” which is an expression of pain and suffering. Millionaires are disconnected to such
an extent that they become sick/pained and need “expensive doctors” to give them a “cure”. They
acquire material luxury “with money” but are deprived souls with “hearts of stone”, (2)
(Any 2) 1+1
5.3 Water is drunk to quench a thirst but this water fails to do so. Furthermore, the water itself is
described as thirsty which is an ability it does not have. It suggests that something is seriously wrong
with the natural order. Bread, like water, is necessary to sustain life as it provides nutrients. To
reduce bread to stone implies its inability to provide what is necessary. This is akin to the one
“Alone” who without a connection to other people has nothing and becomes nothing because
“nobody can make it out there alone.” (3)
5.4 The image of a storm which causes chaos Is likened to the experience of loneliness. The absence
of people/connection in one’s life brings pain that destroys the soul (inner peace/sense of self) ina
similar manner as a “storm” and “wind” destroys everything in its path. This image conveys the idea
that without people life is a struggle/painful and “nobody can make it”. Just as “storm clouds” and
“winds” cause physical destruction and damage so too is one’s life miserable and unhappy when it is
devoid of human connection.

CREDIT ANSWERS IN TERMS OF INTERPRETATION
SUGGESTED ANSWERS — CONTEXRUAL 07
7.1. After 3 years of living in Okonkwo’s household the Oracle of the Hills and Caves had
decided that tkemefuna should be killed (sacrificed) - Ogbeufi was sent to inform
Okonkwo. On the pretext of taking him home a group of men including Okonkwo were
taking him deep into the forest to kill him. Okonkwo dealt the final blow that ended
Ikemefunas life. (2 points x 1%)
Credit if learners incl. events leading to how he came to Umuofia
7.2. The falling and breaking of the pot to the ground is symbolic as there is the
complete breakdown of the tribe later in the novel. The tribe falls apart as the
missionaries have a huge impact on the lives of the people. The unity / oneness of the
tribe disintegrates. (2 points x 1%)
7.3. Okonkwo cared / loved Ikemefuna but did not believe in showing emotions — saw
this as a sign of weakness. He did not take Ogbuefi’s advice (not to participate in the
killing of Ikemefuna) as he did not want to be referred to as Agbala (woman). Okonkwo
was known as a fierce warriors successful etc/ a conformist / wanted the clans approval
(patriarchal) (2 points x 1%)
NEED TO SHOW HOW INDOCTRINATED OKONKWO WAS AND HOW DESPERATELY HE
SOUGHT SOCIETIES APPROVAL.
7.4, SIMILE
The feelings within him (tension, pain etc.) one being compared to a tightened bow
snapping.
Just as an arrow is able to reach the furthest possible point when released from a bow
so will Nwoye’s anger / rage etc. have far reaching consequences later, ie. Converting to
Christianity, joining the missionaries. (1~ fos, 2 - discussion)
7.5.Yes, Ikemefuna had done nothing wrong / was given to the tribe as part of a
compromise and 3 years later was killed / this was a inhumane act as he was an innocent
boy. Okonkwo to prove his manhood participates in the killing to satisfy tribal
expectations although he loved / cared for Ikemefuna.
-Obierika questioned the throwing away of twins in to the Evil Forest (innocent babies)
~ Patiarchal society / dominance over women
- Violence / bringing home of human heads etc.
Credit other eg. From text.
No — Credit reasonable eg. From text
(2 x well explained eg -_ 1%)
7.6. tone of anger / accusing
NoO......4..-Obierika was a well balanced personality. Was confident, stable and able to
distinguish right from wrong. The advice he gives Okonkwo about not participating in
Ikemefuna’s death is sensible. One does not see Obierika losing his temper or expressing
bitterness etc. He is warm / caring and sociable Loved people and happy to converse
with them.
(1 tone 2 for explanation)
7.7,.0konkwo had beena man who had upheld the tribal customs and traditions to the
extreme / he did not question any ruling of the tribe eg. His exile.
For a great man to be buried in this manner is something he would despise ie. By
strangers without the pomp and ceremony given to a great man. His life was for the
tribe that let him down in the end / by not standing by him to defend the tribal customs
and values. (2 x well explained points 1%)
7.8. The whites firstly came on the pretext of bringing religion and civilisation to the
tribe failing to understand that these tribes had their own religion, customs and
traditions that kept them together / as one. When these blacks started to convert /
accept the Christian faith this led to the break up / disintegration of the oneness of the
tribe.
These missionaries also brought trade but the tribe had their own way as well with
dealing with trade.They brought their own judicial system but theirs was corrupt and
prone to bribery eg. The land dispute/The tribe had the egwugwu’s who knew how to
solve disputes amicably / no bribery and corruption.
Positives of white people
- Reguing twins from Evil Forest
- Abbreceding the boltisho humew beu, LIke emehened
