Question 2


DELE CHARLEY: The Blood of a Stranger
How does the relationship between Santigi and Kindo affect the future of Mando land?

Observation


This was also an unpopular question among candidates. The few that attempted it merely narrated the father-son relationship without stating the implication of how their relationship affect Mando land.


The required answers should include:


  • The statement of the central theme.

  • The once cordial father-son relationship which became one of discord after the arrival of Whitehead.

  • Events leading to the planting of seeds of separation/discord.

  • The banishment of Kindo by Santigi supposedly to protect custom.

  • Implications of the rift between father and son for the future of Mando land.

Candidates’ performance was fair.
