Question 2

Comment on the comportment of the cosmopolitan club members.

 
Observation

Candidates were expected to discuss the following characteristics of the Club members.
 

  • Firstly, the identification of the Club members is paramount as Africans struggling between two cultures, none of which they are appreciably integrated into;
  • Their adoption of English ways of life at the expense of their own cultural values.

 

  • Their ostentatious use of ‘jaw-breaking’ words as a show of mastery of the English Language;
  • The idea of “black skin, white masks” as captured by the comportment of the members of the Club.

 

The question was poorly attempted by candidates.
