Question 9
Comment on the poet’s use of imagery in The Dining Table.
Observation
A good number of candidates attempted this question. However, they failed to identify the poet’s use of imagery. Rather, they gave a mere narration of the Liberian civil war.
The following points were expected from the candidates:
* Imagery of effects of war.
* Pain, suffering and famine.
* Violence and terror.
* Fear and insecurity.
* Sickness and disease.
