Literature-In-English Paper 2 WASSCE (SC), 2019

Question 3

    BAYO ADEBOWALE: Lonely Days

    Comment on the significance of moonlit nights among the people of Kufi in the novel.

Observation

Many candidates attempted this question. Most of them however centred their answers on the uses of moonlit nights than the significance. Very few revealed the perceptions of the Kufi people of the moon as revealed by the myths associated with the moon.

The following points should be well developed by the candidates:

  • Description of Kufi village.
  • The importance of the moonlit nights.
  • The serenity of moonlit nights.
  • The beauty of moonlit nights.
  • The villager’s perception.

 

Candidates’ performance in this question was fair.
