Literature-In-English Paper 2 WASSCE (PC), 2017

Question 3

      BAYO ADEBOWALE: Lonely Days


    Examine the attitude of the women of Kufi towards their role in the novel.


Observation

This was a popular question. However, many candidates concentrated on the characters of Yaremi and the three widows. Only a few of them wrote on the attitude of Kufi women towards their roles in the novel.


The following points should be well developed by the candidates:

  • Kufi women know that men are their masters.
  • They work hard to keep their place with dignity
  • They are treated harshly during widowhood.
  • Their belief in the change of role hereafter.
  • Yaremi’s rejection of the system is phenomenal.

 

Candidates’ performance in this question was fair.
