Question 5
LORRAINE HANSBERRY: A Raisin in the Sun
What aspects of Walter’s character are revealed in the play?
Observation
A few candidates attempted this question. Candidates who answered this question gave mere narrations and failed to meet the demand of the question.
Candidates’ response should include:
- • Theme of a system of racial discrimination that create anger and resistance among segments of black Americans in relation to how it also affects Walter’s character.
- • Walter as a member of a family.
- • Walter’s living and working conditions.
- • Walter’s attitude to racism.
- • Walter’s behaviour towards his family, friends and business.
Candidates’ performance in this question was poor.
