SECTION A - COMPULSORY
[25 MARKS)
This section is compulsory, and it consists of ONE question.
QUESTION 1
25 MARKS
Conflict in literature is the central struggle between characters or competing forces, such as
man against nature, society or himself. The conflict is introduced in the exposition or the
beginning of the story and sets the stage for future events. Some stories contain more than
one conflict, but there's usually an underlying primary struggle that the protagonist or
protagonists must address.
In light of this view, discuss conflict and its role in driving the plot in children's literature. Use
relevant examples from the fairytales you have studied in this course.
SECTION B: ELECTIVE QUESTIONS
[50 MARKS)
This section consists of three questions. You are required to select TWO questions to
answer.
QUESTION 2
25 MARKS
With close reference to Dahl's novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, analyse the symbolic
significance of Mr Wonka's chocolate factory.
QUESTION 3
25 MARKS
To what extent are girl-children marginalised in African oral narratives? Justify your answer by
referring closely to two oral narratives studied in this course. Give a summary of each story
first. Your answer should have an introduction, body, and conclusion.
QUESTION 4
25 MARKS
What, in your opinion, is the role played by the pangolin and the Game Park in Kangira's The
