Observation

Few candidates attempted this question. Many of them gave mere narrations and irrelevant points that cannot be found in the text.

The required answers should include the following:

• Max's acknowledges Bigger as an individual and serves as the Public Defender on his behalf.

• Max is a communist and a Jew who understands systematic racism. This experience makes him understand Bigger better than other characters.

• Max disapproves of a system that moulds an individual into a criminal of which Bigger falls victim.

Candidates' performance was poor.
