Question 1

     

    DELE CHARLEY: The Blood of a Stranger

    Assess King Santigi V as an unwise ruler.


Observation

 

Candidates who attempted this question gave a mere narration of events in the text.

The required answers should include:

  • Santigi totters under the weight of Maligu’s influence.
  • He ignores Kindo’s advice and approves the reception of a stranger.
  • He does not insist on seeing Maligu’s letter.
  • He forges a dangerous relationship with Whitehead.
  • He banishes Kindo.

 

Candidates’ performance was poor.
