I said I didn't see why we had to keep our heads anyway, that nobody I knew at school had to keep his head about anything. 'Scout,' said Atticus, 'when summer comes you'll have to keep your head 5 about far worse things … it's not fair for you and Jem, I know that, but sometimes we have to make the best of things, and the way we conduct ourselves when the chips are down – well, all I can say is, when you and Jem are grown, maybe you'll look back on this with some compassion and some feeling that I didn't let you down. This case, Tom Robinson's case, is 10 something that goes to the essence of a man's conscience – Scout, I couldn't go to church and worship God if I didn't try to help that man.' 'Atticus, you must be wrong ...' 'How's that?' 'Well, most folks seem to think they're right and you're wrong ...' 15 'They're certainly entitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions,' said Atticus, 'but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.' [Chapter 11] Copyright reserved Please turn over

Besides, sister, I don't want you working your head off for us – you've no reason to do that. We still need 10 Cal as much as we ever did.' 'But Atticus – ' 'Besides, I don't think the children've suffered one bit from her having brought them up.

'He's not Fatty,' cried Ralph, 'his real name's Piggy!' 'Piggy!' 10 'Piggy!' 'Oh, Piggy!' A storm of laughter arose and even the tiniest child joined in. For the moment the boys were a closed circuit of sympathy with Piggy outside: he went very pink, bowed his head and cleaned his glasses again. 15 Finally the laughter died away and the naming continued. There was Maurice, next in size among the choir boys to Jack, but broad and grinning all the time. There was a slight, furtive boy whom no one knew, who kept to himself with an inner intensity of avoidance and secrecy. He muttered that his name was Roger and was silent again. Bill, Robert, Harold, Henry; the choir 20 boy who had fainted sat up against a palm trunk, smiled pallidly at Ralph and said that his name was Simon. Jack spoke.

'Hullo.' Squirming a little, conscious of his filthy appearance, Ralph answered shyly. 5 'Hullo.' The officer nodded, as if a question had been answered. 'Are there any adults – any grown-ups with you?' Dumbly, Ralph shook his head. He turned a half-pace on the sand. A semicircle of little boys, their bodies streaked with coloured clay, sharp sticks 10 in their hands, were standing on the beach making no noise at all. 'Fun and games,' said the officer. The fire reached the coco-nut palms by the beach and swallowed them noisily. A flame, seemingly detached, swung like an acrobat and licked up the palm heads on the platform. The sky was black. 15 The officer grinned cheerfully at Ralph. 'We saw your smoke. What have you been doing? Having a war or something?' Ralph nodded. The officer inspected the little scarecrow in front of him. The kid needed a 20 bath, a hair-cut, a nose-wipe and a good deal of ointment. 'Nobody killed, I hope? Any dead bodies?' 'Only two. And they've gone.' The officer leaned down and looked closely at Ralph. 'Two? Killed?' 25 Ralph nodded again. Behind him, the whole island was shuddering with flame. The officer knew, as a rule, when people were telling the truth. He whistled softly. [Chapter 12] 2.2.1 Describe Ralph's feelings in lines 4–5 ('Squirming a little … Ralph answered shyly.')

'Do you take sugar with your coffee?' 'No,' he said automatically, and knew, at the same time, he lacked the courage to ask about the rumours. Karanja loathed coffee or tea without lots of sugar. 5 Margery sat opposite Karanja and crossed her legs. She put her cup on the arm of the chair. Karanja held his in both hands afraid of spilling a drop on the carpet. He winced every time he brought the cup near his lips and nostrils. 'How many wives have you?' she asked. This was her favourite question to Africans; it began the day she discovered that her latest cook had three 10 wives. Karanja started as if Margery had tickled a wound that had only healed at the surface. Mumbi. 'I am not married.' 'Not married? I thought you people – Are you going to buy a wife?' 'I don't know.' 15 'Have you a friend, a woman?' she pursued, her curiosity mounting; her voice was timbred with warmth. Something in the quality of her voice touched Karanja. Would she understand? Would she? 'I had a woman. I – I loved her,' he said boldly. He closed his eyes with sudden, huge effort, gulped down the bitter coffee. 20 'Why didn't you marry her? Is she dead or –' 'She refused me,' he said. [Chapter 4] Copyright reserved Please turn over

He had once heard noises in the wind, long ago, and had been unable to pick one consistent note; now the noises were in his head.

To be caught harbouring a terrorist meant death. Why should Kihika drag me into a struggle 10 and problems that I have not created? Why? He is not satisfied with butchering men and women and children. He must call on me to bathe in the blood. I am not his brother. I am not his sister. I have not done harm to anybody.

You're driving too fast!' said Mrs Mitty. 'What are you driving so fast for?' 'Hmm?' said Walter Mitty. He looked at his wife, in the seat beside him, with shocked astonishment. She seemed grossly unfamiliar, like a strange woman who had yelled at him in a crowd. 'You were up to 5 fifty-five,' she said. 'You know I don't like to go more than forty. You were up to fifty-five.' Walter Mitty drove on toward Waterbury in silence, the roaring of the SN202 through the worst storm in twenty years of Navy flying fading in the remote, intimate airways of his mind. 'You're tensed up again,' said Mrs. Mitty. 'It's one of your days. 10 I wish you'd let Dr Renshaw look you over.' Walter Mitty stopped the car in front of the building where his wife went to have her hair done. 'Remember to get those overshoes while I'm having my hair done,' she said. 'I don't need overshoes,' said Mitty. She put her mirror back into her bag. 'We've been through that,' 15 she said, getting out of the car. 'You're not a young man any longer.' He raced the engine a little. 'Why don't you wear your gloves? Have you lost your gloves?' 6.1.1 Complete the following sentence by using the word in the list below.

(3) AND 6.2 'THE SOFT VOICE OF THE SERPENT' by Nadine Gordimer [The man and the woman are in the garden.] In a week or two he did not have to read all the time; he could let himself put down the book and look about him, watching the firs part silkily as a child's fine straight hair in the wind, watching the small birds tightroping the telephone wire, watching the fat old dove trotting after his refined patrician grey women, purring with lust. His wife came and sat beside him, doing her 5 sewing, and sometimes they spoke, but often they sat for hours, a whole morning, her movements at work small and unobtrusive as the birds', he resting his head back and looking at a blur of sky through half closed eyes. Now and then her eye, habitually looking inwards, would catch the signal of some little happening, some point of colour in the garden, and her laugh or 10 exclamation drawing his attention to it would suddenly clear away the silence. At eleven o'clock she would get up and put down her sewing and go into the house to fetch their tea; crunching slowly away into the sun up the path, going easily, empowered by the sun rather than her own muscles. He watched her go, easily … He was healing. In the static quality of his gaze, in the relaxed 15 feeling of his mouth, in the upward-lying palm of his hand, there was annealment … 6.2.1 Explain why the man had to 'read all the time' (line 1).

Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O, no, it is an ever-fixèd mark 5 That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand'ring 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 proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. 7.1.1 Complete the following sentence by using the words in the list below.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com English First Additional Language/P2 27 DBE/Feb.–Mar. 2015 NSC 7.2 Read the following poem and then answer the questions set on it. An elementary school classroom in a slum – Stephen Spender Far far from gusty waves these children's faces. Like rootless weeds, the hair torn round their pallor. The tall girl with her weighed-down head. The paper- seeming boy, with rat's eyes. The stunted, unlucky heir Of twisted bones, reciting a father's gnarled disease, 5 His lesson from his desk. At the back of the dim class One unnoted, sweet and young. His eyes live in a dream Of squirrel's game, in tree room, other than this. On sour cream walls, donations. Shakespeare's head, Cloudless at dawn, civilised dome riding all the cities. 10 Belled, flowery, Tyrolese valley. Open-handed map Awarding the world its world. And yet, for these Children, these windows, not this world, are world. Where all their future's painted with a fog, A narrow street sealed in with a lead sky, 15 Far far from rivers, capes, and stars of words. Surely, Shakespeare is wicked, the map a bad example With ships and sun and love tempting them to steal – For lives that slyly turn in their cramped holes From fog to endless night? On their slag heap, these children 20 Wear skins peeped through by bones and spectacles of steel With mended glass, like bottle bits on stones, All of their time and space are foggy slum. So blot their maps with slums as big as doom. Unless, governor, teacher, inspector, visitor, 25 This map becomes their window and these windows That shut upon their lives like catacombs, Break O break open till they break the town And show the children to green fields and make their world Run azure on gold sands, and let their tongues 30 Run naked into books, the white and green leaves open History theirs whose language is the sun.
