Answer ALL the questions.
QUESTION 1
25 marks
Stereotyping and subordination are still major obstacles in African literature today.
Assess the validity of this statement with reference to Kangira’s novel, The Bundle of Firewood.
QUESTION 2
25 marks
Children’s literature does not only open up an imaginative space for children, it also creates a space in
which children are able to imagine their own individual identities, a space where the “constructed” child
can become the “constructive” child (Rudd, 1999).
To what extent is this statement a suitable description of Dahl’s novel, Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory?
QUESTION 3
25 marks
Children’s literature is of value because it is a timeless tradition, one in which narratives are the major
means of transmitting our literary heritage from one generation to the next.
Assess the validity of this statement with close reference to any two oral narratives studied in this
course.
QUESTION 4
25 marks
Do you think picture books and rhymes are good for children to read? Give the reasons that led you
to your judgment.
