Observation

Very few candidates attempted this question. Candidates that attempted this question were able to point out Bigger’s role in Mary Dalton’s death but failed to realise that Bigger was responsible for Mary’s death.

The following points were expected from the candidates:

• • Mary Dalton is the daughter of Mr Dalton and girlfriend of Jan Erlone. Bigger is her driver.
• • Mary’s deceit and Bigger’s involvement.
• • Mary’s waywardness.
• • Mary is too outgoing and open-minded.
• • The role of racism as being a crucial cause of her death.
• • Culpability for Mary’s death must be laid squarely on Bigger

Candidates’ performance in this question was poor.
