Downloaded from hlayiso.com SECTION A: POETRY { r 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, 5 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; 10 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. In “LET ME NOT TO THE MARRIAGE OF TRUE MINDS” the speaker claims that true love lasts forever. Critically discuss this statement by making close reference to diction, imagery and tone.

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, 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 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 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. 2.1 How does the word “shorts” (line 3) contribute to your understanding of the beggat’s suffering? 10 15 20 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” Comment on the appropriateness of “fossil man” in the context of the poem. 2.4 At the end, the speaker has a complete change of attitude.

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.

In the many years in which he had toiled i to bring civilisation to different parts of Africa he had learnt 15} 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 chaptet but a reasonable as paragraph, at any rate. There was so much else to include, and one must be firm in cutting out details.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com SUGGESTED ANSWERS TENA ~— Ge: il 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. IW + Trmage dleacuaseel + Ih apt In comnbert 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 attitude. He changes from a detached man, devoid of compassion who was proudly focused on his own artistic ability to a connected, sensitive man who recognises the suffering of a fellow human being.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com 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.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com 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”. Raepouse wet show Che Yet, bude flare 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.
