Literature-In-English Paper 3 WASSCE (PC), 2016

Question 10

    Examine the consequences of vanity in the poem “Vanity”.


Observation

This was a popular question. However, many of the candidates failed to meet the demands of the question as they wrote on vanity, rather, that its consequences.
The required answers should include:                                                                        

  • Virtues and wisdom of our ancestors.
  • The rejection of the ancestors’ appeal.
  • The ridicule /mockery that the living are now confronted with “large mouths shaped by the laughter by the children”.

 

Candidates’ performance was fair.
