Observation

Candidates pointed out that Max stood on the opinion that everybody should get equal treatment.

Candidates were expected to discuss:

• The case against Bigger based on racial discrimination.
• Bigger and his failed ambition; Max as a lawyer and communist.
• Bigger’s acceptance of Max.
• Max’s defence of Bigger.
• The final judgement based on racial supremacy.

Candidates presented shallow answers due to poor understanding of the text.
