Question 3
How is Ajumobi portrayed in the novel?
Observation
Many candidates attempted this question. Although, some candidates gave character sketch and dwelt on circumstances surrounding Ajumobi’s death, a good number were able to mention how he was a doting husband and father to his wife and children respectively; a brave hunter, etc.
The following points should be well developed by the candidates:
• Ajumobi as a husband and family man. • Ajumobi as a distinguished hunter. • Ajumobi as an industrious farmer • Ajumobi as a sociable man in the society.
Candidates’ performance in this question was good.
