Question 2

    DELE CHARLEY: The Blood of a Stranger

    Comment on Wara as an admirable character.


Observation

 

The few candidates that answered this question spoke merely of who Wara was and could not discuss in details about the admirable qualities she possessed as illustrated in the novel.

The required answers should include:

  • Wara is identified as Kindo’s woman.
  • She is the voice of reason for Kindo, and will not take liberties with tradition.
  • She is submissive but also courageous.
  • She is Kindo’s trusted friend and partner.
  • She is supportive, protective and confident.

 

Candidates’ performance in the question was poor.
