Observation

This was also a popular question. Only few of the candidates understood the demand of the question. While most candidates stated the character of Asagai, they failed to mention his role as an educator of the Younger family.

Candidates’ response should include:

• Statement of the central theme of the play.


• Character identification.


• Asagai’s intelligence and charm.


• Asagai’s role in the play.


• His pride of his African heritage and instrument through which Beneatha and her family become aware of their African heritage.

Candidates’ performance in this question was fair.
