Observation

Few candidates attempted this question. from their responses, it was evident that they know little or nothing about Travis. Hence, they could not show how he is the hope of the Younger family.

Travis is portrayed as the hope of the Younger family in the following ways:

• His being doted upon but also well brought up.
• The family’s concern for his education and leisure.
• His display of maturity.
• His symbolising the survival of the Younger family.

Candidates’ performance was poor.
