Question 1

Comment on the view that Pokuwaa is an optimist.


 
Observation

Many candidates attempted this question. However, some gave a plot summary of the text rather than bring out instances of Pokuwaa’s optimism. 

The following points were expected from the candidates:

  • Pokuwaa’s bold attempt at snatching her sacrificial jet black hen from the jaws of a big black snake.
  • Pokuwaa’s marriage to her first, second and third husbands all in a bid to have a child.
  • The fruitless number of sacrifices and rituals she had to undergo so that the gods will give her a child.

 

Candidates’ performance was fair.
