He grew rapidly like a yam tendril in the rainyseason, and was full of the sap of life. He had become wholly absorbed into hisnew family. He was like an elder brother to Nwoye, and from the very first seemedto have kindled a new fire in the younger boy. He made him feel grown-up; and theyno longer spent the evenings in mother’s hut while she cooked, but now sat withOkonkwo in his obi or watched him as he tapped his palm tree for the evening wine.Nothing pleased Nwoye now more than to be sent for by his mother or another ofhis father’s wives to do one of those difficult and masculine tasks in the home likesplitting wood, or pounding food. On receiving such a message through a youngerbrother or sister, Nwoye would feign annoyance and grumble aloud about womenand their troubles.Okonkwo was inwardly pleased at his son’s development and he knew it was dueto Ikemefuna. He wanted Nwoye to grow into a tough young man capable of rulinghis father’s household when he was dead and gone to join the ancestors. Hewanted him to be a prosperous man, having enough in his barn to feed theancestors with regular sacrifices. And so, he was always happy when he heardhim grumbling about women. That showed that in time he would be able to controlhis womenfolk.51015[Chapter 7]7.1What are the circumstances that led to Ikemefuna living in Okwonkwo’shousehold?Copyright reserved(3)Please turn over

He warned the menthat unless they produced Okonkwo forthwith he would lock them all up. The menmurmured among themselves, and Obierika spoke again.“We can take you to where he is, and perhaps your men will help us.”The District Commissioner did not understand what Obierika meant when he said,“Perhaps your men will help us.” One of the most infuriating habits of these peoplewas their love of superfluous words, he thought.Obierika with five or six others led the way. The District Commissioner and hismen followed, their firearms held at the ready. He had warned Obierika that if heand his men played any monkey tricks they would be shot. And so they went.There was a small bush behind Okonkwo’s compound. The only opening into thisbush from the compound was a little round hole in the red-earth wall through whichfowls went in and out in their endless search for food. The hole would not let aman through. It was to this bush that Obierika led the District Commissioner andhis men. They skirted round the compound, keeping close to the wall. The onlysound they made was with their feet as they crushed dry leaves.51015Then they came to the tree from which Okonkwo’s body was dangling and theystopped dead.[Chapter 25]7.6What does the attitude of the District Commissioner show about him in thisextract?

(EC/NOVEMBER 2019)13ENGLISH HOME LANGUAGE P2TSOTSI – ATHOL FUGARDAnswer EITHER QUESTION 8 (essay question) OR QUESTION 9 (contextualquestion).QUESTION 8: TSOTSI – ESSAY QUESTION‘In the time that Tsotsi sat thinking in the ruins, two unimportant and unnoticedevents took place in the township. Gumboot Dhlamini was buried and Bostonawoke’.In a carefully planned essay of 350–400 words (1½–2 pages) in length, criticallydiscuss to what extent these two events are of great importance in the redemptionof Tsotsi.[25]ORQUESTION 9: TSOTSI – CONTEXTUAL QUESTIONSRead the extracts below and then answer the questions that follow.EXTRACT CIn the city he found work on the mines and a room in one of the townships, and fora year he had been travelling from the one to the other in the early morning, with amultitude of others on the crowded trains, to work, and back in the evening, withthe same multitude on the same trains, to sleep. He travelled safe for a yearbecause he heeded the advice of others, and in that same year he worked hardand earned well and wore through the new shoes he had bought on the road, andhad them mended, then wore through them again and then through them again andbought a new pair.In some ways the year was a short one, and in others it was long, especially whenhe remembered Maxulu sitting on the side of the road and he got him a man whocould make words to do him a letter back home. And now at last the year wasalmost over. In a week, only one more week of early steaming mornings and workunder ground, he would be going back with the money he had saved. Maxulu wouldbe getting back her man very much the same as he had left, with his laugh still big,and his hands that were generous in the gestures of love and even in shoes, stillas high as hope.But Gumboot was a man and that has a second meaning. It has to do with deathand the frailty of even those earthen cups that hold passionate draughts of laughter,that can be broken and all the life of a man spilt in the dust. Gumboot was this manalso, in this meaning, because on that Friday night train going back to the township,a week before going home, Butcher was behind him and Butcher knew withunfailing accuracy the position of the heart.5101520[Chapter 1]9.1How is the context of the novel revealed in line 1 of this extract?(3)9.2What is the reason for the inclusion of the information that ‘He travelled safefor a year because he heeded the advice of others’ (lines 4–5)?(3)Copyright reservedPlease turn over

14ENGLISH HOME LANGUAGE P2(EC/NOVEMBER 2019)9.3Discuss the relevance of the details given about Gumboot’s life.(3)9.4How is the contrast between Gumboot and Butcher shown in this extract?(3)9.5Consider the image: ‘It has to do with death spilt in the dust’(lines 17–19). To what extent is this an accurate description of the youngDavid’s transformation to Tsotsi?(3)ANDEXTRACT DAfter this discovery Tsoti’s interest in his victim rose to an obsessive intensity, andhe let his time and opportunities slip by. This man, this half-man, this unsightly anddisfigured remnant of a man Tsotsi recognised with all the certainty of hisunnumbered years as being the true figuration of life. He was a symbol of thisprecisely because he was bent, and broken, and so without meaning that other menhad abandoned him. This was the final reality to life. Everything else was justrouge and lipstick on an ugly face. Smiles and laughter changed nothing, no morethan a new pair of trousers would have given back the cripple his legs.Tsotsi was convinced of this. The conviction was so absolute it was part of himself,of his life and of his way of living. It was there like the blood in his veins and in hisheartbeat. Where it had come from he did not know, but he had it. He had a deeplyintimate and personal knowledge of the grotesque anatomy of life.He had never seen it so clearly, though. In the past it had come like a bad aftertasteto those moments when unavoidably he had been brought to the brink of a memory.It had been like that after the incident with the policeman and the prisoner, the onewho had recognised Tsotsi and called him David. For days afterwards Tsotsi hadbrooded and it wasn’t upon the man who had cried: ‘It’s me, Petah.’ He had knownit was better to forget him, and had promptly done so.Tsotsi brooded because when he had finished that dice game with Butcher and DieAap, and the man’s hopeless cries were heard no more, he had stood up and seenthe truth again so clearly he wondered why it was that he kept on forgetting it. Theworld was an ugly place.5101520[Chapter 7]9.6Account for Tsotsi’s ‘obsessive intensity’ (line 1) with this victim.(3)9.7Compare the influence that both ‘Petah’ (line 17) and the man with the‘hopeless cries’ (line 20) have on Tsotsi.(3)9.8Refer to Extracts C and D.
