Observation

This was a popular question. However, the candidates were not able to fully analyse the school boy’s desires, hence, the inability to describe adult interference.

The required answers should include the following points:

• • Theme of adult interference with the natural inclinations of children to enjoy life and to be as free as nature itself when it displays its pleasures in summer.
• • The bounty of nature as presented by the schoolboy.
• • Adult interference as pointed out by the schoolboy.
• • The appeal to parents.
• • What deprived children suffer in old age.

Candidates’ performance was fair.
