Observation

This was not a well answered question. It requires candidates to comment on how Troy Maxson uses language in the expression of his thoughts and feelings.
This question requires:

• The statement of the themes of racial discrimination in America of the 1950s and the struggles of an African American family to fight it or navigate it.
• A character description of Troy Maxson as Rose’s husband, Cory, Lyons and Raynell’s father.
• His use of language as a survival tool at the workplace: he makes bold and forthright statements, colourful in the African American dialect.
• Troy’s language as an expression of his sense of loyalty and gratitude to those who do him a favour.
• His use of language to demonstrate his feeling about his sport-baseball is a display of the richness of Troy’s technical vocabulary.
• His use of language to expresses his romantic feeling for Rose.

Candidates’ performance in the question was fair.
