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.
