MEMO ENGLISH HOME LANGUAGE PAPER 2 GRADE 10 JUNE EXAMS, ENGLISH P.2 MEMO GRADE 10 2026 THUNDEREDUCJW

Indiziert: 2026-05-20

[00:00:00][music] [music] [music] >> Hi grade 10s. We are going to be looking at the June examination grade 10 English home language paper two, which is 2 and 1/2 hours as always and the mark allocation is 80 marks.

[00:00:38]Right, we have two sections in this paper as you are very well aware. We have the poetry section, which is 30 marks. We have the drama, which will be 25 marks. Remember in grade 10 you do the drama, which is the play.

[00:00:53]You have to answer five questions in all, that's why it's 2 and 1/2 hours and it's three in section A, two in section B. We are answering two questions in the seen poems and we are answering the compulsory unseen poem because it's must be answered by all of us. Our section B is the drama. We answer the essay question and the contextual question.

[00:01:19]Right, when we are coming to um length of answers, your essay question should be about 300 to 350 words and contextual questions will be based on um the mark allocation that you are given.

[00:01:35]Please aim for conciseness and relevance of your answers in contextual answering.

[00:01:41]It can help. Follow the instructions at the beginning of each section carefully, boys and girls, and number your answers correctly according to the numbering system that is used in that uh question paper. Start each section on a new page.

[00:01:57]Section, guys, not question, please. You start each section on a new page. The suggested time management is 40 minutes roughly for section A, and I believe it's 110 minutes for section B because you have an essay and a contextual question.

[00:02:18]Right. What do we have in this paper? We have Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening.

[00:02:23]We have Soccer Carlistau, and we have The Right Word. And then you also have The Cage Bird.

[00:02:30]The unseen poem is called The Man.

[00:02:33]And I believe on the right-hand side it does indicate to you that you have an essay question, you have a contextual question, and I believe the essay question is always the first one in the exam.

[00:02:44]And the rest they come contextual questions. So, today when we're looking at our section B, the drama you will be discussing The Lighthouse Keeper's Wife.

[00:02:55]All right.

[00:02:58]When we're coming to the question paper, let's go and see what we have.

[00:03:03]Right. Our question one was Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening.

[00:03:11]Okay.

[00:03:16]It says, "Whose woods these I think I know. His house is in the village though. He will not stop me uh >> [snorts] >> in the village though.

[00:03:32]He will not stop see me stopping here to watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse might might think it queer to stop without a farmhouse near."

[00:03:45]And uh "Between the woods and frozen lake." it says.

[00:03:50]Um "The darkest evening of the He gives his harness bells a shake to ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep of easy wind and downy downy flake.

[00:04:04]The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go off before I sleep.

[00:04:14]Right. When we are coming into our essay question, it says, "In this poem, Robert [clears throat] Frost narrates about how his desires contrast with his responsibilities."

[00:04:27]So, we are looking at a contrast question. And I believe that the contrast is between his desires and his responsibilities.

[00:04:38]So, those are the two that we have.

[00:04:41]Right. We have desires and we have responsibilities.

[00:04:45]With close reference to the text, write an essay of 200 to 250 words, which is a page, discussing use of diction, imagery, and I believe by the poet to convey the idea.

[00:05:02]So, when we are coming in, we always know that our essay starts the same way.

[00:05:07]We have the title, we have the poet's name.

[00:05:11]In the uh in the um poem, "Stopping by the Woods", you have to punctuate it.

[00:05:30]by Robert [clears throat] Frost, the poet is torn. You rephrase the question.

[00:05:44]between his wishes to continue enjoying nature and fulfilling his responsibilities.

[00:06:14]Right.

[00:06:16]This will be discussed in relevance to diction and imagery. That's our essay. Right.

[00:06:36]What can we discuss because we've got the introduction closed off. One of the things I believe when we come into diction I'm going to look at the issue of Let's go back to the poem and see what diction we can use today.

[00:06:52]Right. Whose woods these I think I know, he says.

[00:07:00]Uh okay.

[00:07:03]His house is in the village so he will not see me stopping here to watch his woods fill up with snow. There we go.

[00:07:10]To watch his woods.

[00:07:13]So I believe these diction words are telling us that he's enjoying the view.

[00:07:19]Enjoys the view.

[00:07:23]But does not want to go to where the other villagers are.

[00:07:33]Does not want to mingle with even the owner.

[00:07:43]So, he only wants uh the view, the natural view. He wants to see the woods filling up with snow, and therefore he does not want to go to where the other villagers are. I believe one of the things it's um lovely, the woods are lovely.

[00:08:06]That's a diction word.

[00:08:08]Dark and deep.

[00:08:10]And it represents a temptation to escape from the pressures of life.

[00:08:17]And I believe when he says uh there's also easy wind is also coming in as relevant there, downy flake.

[00:08:28]One of the things it shows how peaceful it is.

[00:08:31]Tranquil, how still it is. That's the easy wind. And that is something that he's enjoying.

[00:08:38]He wants to embrace. These words show that he wants to embrace isolation.

[00:08:45]And nature.

[00:08:47]So, I believe we choose three diction words so that we discuss them fully. Quote the word.

[00:08:55]You put it in quotation marks.

[00:08:57]You give the line number, and then you discuss the effectiveness of the word as I'm doing now.

[00:09:05]So, we we are coming in and saying possibilities of words that could be used.

[00:09:12]And when we coming into also he wants to move away from the pressure of duties.

[00:09:24]And he now embraces the need for time alone in the woods.

[00:09:29]So, the wood is peaceful.

[00:09:33]And it's enticing for him.

[00:09:37]The woods are not just a place, but a place where he will actually feel as if he does not have something else to do.

[00:09:46]So, when we talking of diction, I'm seeing these words as coming out frozen lake. That's beautiful.

[00:09:54]It might be cold, but look at how he describes nature to show his his thoughts about that cold nature, but being beautiful at the same time. So, that's what I believe shows uh uh his desires. But, now when we talking about the diction that shows his contrast and the fulfillment of duties, I have promises to keep.

[00:10:23]There we go.

[00:10:25]Promises to keep is an awakening that he has to finish the day's job and go where he was supposed to go.

[00:10:35]When he says, "Miles to go."

[00:10:39]It means that he has not finished his journey. So, if he has not finished his journey, it means he must be on the way.

[00:10:48]So, now when we coming in and saying responsibilities, we are talking about he has things to do. He has a job to fulfill. The journey is still long before he can actually rest or die.

[00:11:04]And we can be a metaphor for life, but it means he has he is struggling between his personal desire and responsibility.

[00:11:13]But, now he eventually, I believe in the Yule state, he rejects the temptation.

[00:11:18]And what does it do? He continues on his journey. Let's go to the figures of speech and see what we have. I believe for the figures of speech, I'm seeing um personification of the horse to ask There it is. That's personification.

[00:11:41]So, the personification of the horse, I believe it talks about when the horse is given qualities of asking if there is a mistake because it's also a reminder that we still have to continue on our journey.

[00:11:57]And also, when we're talking about the repetition, miles to go, miles to go. In the last, that's repetition.

[00:12:08]It emphasizes the heavy burden of duty and the long weary journey that must be completed before the rest is permitted.

[00:12:19]So, as a result, I'm also looking at Where is that?

[00:12:30]My little horse must think it queer to No, no, no, no. I think it's before where he says Yes.

[00:12:41]The darkest evening of the year.

[00:12:45]I believe that's a visual imagery that shows that it's already dark and dangerous, but he still has a long mile to go and therefore that will push him to continue on his journey. Therefore, there are figures of speech. We also do have alliteration, I believe.

[00:13:09]We do have alliteration.

[00:13:20]Uh Right. I believe it will be here where he says um some men on this sounds as deep.

[00:13:43]There we go after the S sound.

[00:13:45]The only other sounds the sweep. We have alliteration of the S sound there and I believe it emphasizes that the silence tells them that and he must go back to the main road for him to continue on his journey and therefore that's where we have figures of speech. So, when we come again, please make sure you take your diction, you take your figures of speech and you win this essay. Let's go to question two.

[00:14:15]Question two is the contextual question of Soccer Carlistau. We had to shoo a fat sow, three piglets, and a family of chickens off the pitch then carry a some number of great dane from the penalty spot before the game a cool begin. Shortly after half time, our goalkeeper roofed the ball skyward and it burst into flower and wobbled to the earth. And then it continues and said, "Both captains tried to shove the bulging rubber back into its port, but with a sad psst, it died."

[00:14:54]And then it says, "I thought it this that was the end of me end of the game, but someone quickly collected old socks and underpants and stuffed them inside the leather casing and the game went on to end in a goalless draw.

[00:15:13]The The teams trooped off the pitch and the great dane with a deep sigh slouched towards the penalty spot." Right, refer to line one, it says, "Why does the poet use the word shoe?" Okay.

[00:15:29]Let's talk about this now.

[00:15:32]>> [snorts] >> All right.

[00:15:34]Right, that is, I believe, um, it's an in colloquial language that is used.

[00:15:45]So, that creates humor.

[00:15:49]Believe the purpose is it creates humor.

[00:15:53]As it's, um, South African colloquial word.

[00:16:04]And also, I believe it will also portray the action of chasing the animals off the pitch. There's your two marks.

[00:16:26]Stanza one, refer to stanza one, identify and explain the effectiveness of the metaphor. Let's go to stanza one and see the metaphor. It says, "We had to shoe a fat sow, three piglets, and a family of chickens off the pitch. Then carried a somnambulant Great Dane from the penalty spot before the game could begin. Shortly after half time, a local keeper hoofed the ball skyward and it burst into a flower." Burst into a flower.

[00:16:55]And I believe that's our that's our metaphor.

[00:17:00]The ball is compared to a flower.

[00:17:05]That's where we are.

[00:17:09]So, it says, "Identify and explain."

[00:17:12]Believe it's, uh, the ball that burst a flower. [clears throat] That's our our metaphor. The ball is compared to a flower. That's the first thing.

[00:17:35]And also, I believe just like a flower that opens up, this the ball splits splits the ball splits like petals that open.

[00:17:56]And I believe therefore, it shows like it is looking like a blooming flower. That's your third mark.

[00:18:05]Looks like a blooming flower.

[00:18:09]When the petals are all over the place, I believe it will be blooming, but it shows that the ball split. Right, refer to stanza two. What literary device is used in the stanza?

[00:18:21]Stanza two. Let's look at stanza two.

[00:18:29]I'm seeing onomatopoeia.

[00:18:34]I'm seeing onomatopoeia. That's what I have.

[00:18:37]It's the onomatopoeia.

[00:18:40]That's one mark.

[00:18:43]And then now it says, "Explain the relevance of this literary device and how it reflects the unfolding events in the soccer field." I believe the the sound echoes No, the word. My apologies.

[00:19:03]The word echoes the sound made by the air escaping the soccer ball as it goes flat.

[00:19:27]All right.

[00:19:29]So, which means would pause the ball or cause it to stop as well. How does the poem depict resilience and resourcefulness?

[00:19:39]I believe despite the playing barefoot which is showing the hard conditions using an old ball the players adapt and are innovative when the ball bursts they stuff it with personal clothing so that the game can continue.

[00:20:41]There we go.

[00:20:43]Right, that's our 10 marks. Let's go to question three, the right word. Outside the door lurking in the shadows is a terrorist, it says. And I believe it says um is that the wrong description?

[00:20:56]Outside the door taking shelter in the shadows is a freedom fighter.

[00:21:05]I haven't got this right. Outside waiting in the shadows is a hostile militant. Our words no more than waving wavering flags. Outside your door watchful in the shadows is a gorilla warrior. God help me.

[00:21:21]Outside defying every shadow stands a martyr. I saw his face. No words can help me now. Just outside the door lost in the shadows is a child who looks like mine. One word for you. Outside my door his hand too steady, his eyes too hard.

[00:21:40]Um is a boy who looks like your son, too. I open the door. Come in, I say.

[00:21:47]Come in and eat with us. The child steps in and carefully at my door takes off his shoes.

[00:21:55]The question says 3.1, what mood do the words lacking, shadows, and terrorist uh create for the reader of the poem?

[00:22:07]I believe it will be fear.

[00:22:11]The mood will be fear. Alarm.

[00:22:19]As the words indicate danger.

[00:22:29]Right. Explain why the boy's hand will be too steady and his eyes s- too hard.

[00:22:36]I believe it will be he has seen a lot [clears throat] of um painful autrum or trauma.

[00:22:54]And therefore it means he's now devoid of emotion.

[00:23:02]>> [clears throat] >> I believe the the hand will be steady in the sense that he has actually used weapons before.

[00:23:15]And as he has experience.

[00:23:23]You can most probably comment on the actions of both the poet and the boy in the last stanza. I believe one of the things is the the speaker is welcoming and gets respect in return.

[00:23:51]The boy removes his shoes. There's mutual respect, if I can say.

[00:23:58]Between the two, which shows they are both human to each other.

[00:24:11]Discuss the significance of the title of the poem.

[00:24:15]Words of connotations. This was the first thing we said in our classes.

[00:24:19]Words of connotations.

[00:24:23]And when we're talking of connotations, labels are given to people.

[00:24:34]Not only that, it means we fear understanding each other.

[00:24:52]And therefore, it means us a different aspect in a person, we lead to humane relations.

[00:25:18]We see each other because of what we've been stereotyped. Stereotyping also came in as an answer today.

[00:25:24]>> [snorts] >> Let's go to the cage bird. A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wing in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky.

[00:25:38]But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage. His wings are clipped and his feet are tied, so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown, but longed for still, and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom. The free bird thinks of another breeze and the trade winds soft through the sign trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright loan and he names the sky his own. But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams. He shouts shouts on a nightmare scream. His wings are clipped and his feet are tied, so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown, but longed for still, and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom. Right. Our 4.1 says, What does the caged bird singing reveal about him?

[00:26:52]I believe one of the things it reveals is that he's unhappy.

[00:26:57]Definitely to be unhappy.

[00:27:06]In present.

[00:27:10]All right.

[00:27:12]Comment on the poet's use of the verbs he stands on one, and I believe the verbs we're talking about will be floats, leaps.

[00:27:23]Obviously, you have to comment on them.

[00:27:25]You have to quote them as well. So, leaps is also relevant.

[00:27:32]Right. And then the question says, comment. I believe they they portray freedom, joy, describe the free bird's experience of flying.

[00:28:13]Really. Right.

[00:28:15]Explain the metaphor in line 25. The caged bird I believe stands on the grave of dreams. Right. I believe what we mean is that the caged bird's hopes, aspirations, and dreams are stifled.

[00:28:50]>> by its captivity.

[00:28:58]Leaving it trapped definitely despairing and longing for freedom.

[00:29:15]for freedom.

[00:29:20]4.4 says the free bird names the sky its own. Why would it do this and what is the importance of naming something? I believe it's ownership.

[00:29:33]Control.

[00:29:36]Power.

[00:29:39]So, which is due to its being familiar with the environment.

[00:29:58]I believe it would also reflect its confidence, authority, and control.

[00:30:11]Definitely of the surroundings, the sky, where it is free to go to. All right, we're going to the unseen poem. Remember it's a compulsory question. So, it means that um everyone must answer it. We see it for the first time in the exam.

[00:30:31]And the title is The Men by Setlhamo Motlhapi. An almost forgotten acquaintance, it says, was in town recently. I noticed that it started raining just as he ambled in.

[00:30:45]I remember him as a simple man. Growing up, we all wanted to be doctors, lawyers, and teachers so the blood could ebb out of the village. My friend had much more sober dreams. He asked the heavens to grant him the imposing piece of the blue gum in his backyard. And that all the poor sent him their tears so he could be humble like the sun. So the red wax of the stars would drip onto him. I remember that man today and all I think of is his unassuming radiance like that of a blushing angel.

[00:31:23]My apologies. He tells um as of his dreams, he tells us whole forest invades his sleep at night so that there's only standing room for the dreams. Quote two lines in the poem that indicate that the acquaintance is not an arrogant man.

[00:31:42]I remember him as a simple man. I think I read that right now.

[00:31:46]I remembered him as a simple man. There we go.

[00:31:50]Think that's the first one.

[00:31:57]And [clears throat] all I think of is his unassuming radiance.

[00:32:01]Those are your two. How many marks was this? Quote two lines. Those were the two lines.

[00:32:08]Right. Name two character traits of the man other than him being humble. I believe he's very peaceful. There's something that was said about here.

[00:32:19]The imposing piece of the blue gum in his backyard.

[00:32:23]So I believe he'll be peaceful.

[00:32:27]That's one of them.

[00:32:29]The other one I believe he will be He could be like the sun.

[00:32:39]And [clears throat] uh so the red works of the stars would not drip onto him.

[00:32:46]Wait, wait, wait.

[00:32:52]I remember him. We all saw the blood could ebb out of the village had much more sober dreams. I believe he's realistic as well.

[00:33:02]He's very realistic.

[00:33:05]So that's something else that comes in as a quality. He's a realistic man.

[00:33:14]And I believe he's also content.

[00:33:17]He tells us of his dreams. All forests invade his sleep at night so that there's only standing room for for the dreams. He's very content, right?

[00:33:28]Compare that which the speaker and his friends dreamt about as a child to the ideals the acquaintance had for his future.

[00:33:35]I believe the acquaintance had simple and selfless dreams.

[00:33:39]That's the acquaintance.

[00:33:41]Simple.

[00:33:43]Selfless dreams.

[00:33:47]But the friends, I believe materialistic.

[00:34:00]Status hungry.

[00:34:06]But this guy's dreams were community orientated.

[00:34:17]But for the friends, they were selfish.

[00:34:23]So as a result, that's the difference between the two. Critically discuss how the speaker uses structure, diction, and imagery in the poem to convey the theme.

[00:34:36]I believe one of the things that we're going to talk about is it's a free verse poem.

[00:34:46]It's a free verse poem.

[00:34:49]And if it's a free verse poem, I believe what comes is that um sharp diction is used.

[00:35:03]Specific.

[00:35:05]Unassuming radiance, blushing angel.

[00:35:09]So, as a result, the theme being um perseverance amidst struggles.

[00:35:30]That's what I'm think I'm I'm getting there.

[00:35:34]Rejection.

[00:35:36]Humanity is also coming in. So, those are the avenues we expected. That's our poetry section. And we have revised all poems. Let's go to the drama. The Lighthouse Keeper's Wife we have an essay question.

[00:35:51]And our essay question says right.

[00:35:55]Um sanity versus It says sanity versus insanity is one of the themes explored in the drama The Lighthouse Keeper's Wife. Discuss the statement in a well-planned essay of 300 to 350 words.

[00:36:17]All right.

[00:36:21]When we coming in and talking about themes in the in the uh, play, you need to be clear characters come under the theme of sanity versus insanity. And I believe we are definitely talking of Blackie's.

[00:36:35]We are definitely talking of Stella.

[00:36:39]Uh, those are the lamp characters coming.

[00:36:44]Right.

[00:36:46]So, when we coming in and these are the three characters that we are bringing, you need to show that there's a thin line between what is viewed as sanity and what is viewed as insanity in the play. Why? One of the things is s- Each character does it bring this theme around, but the conflict that comes in the play is the one that now makes it difficult to separate the two.

[00:37:15]You start off by discussing Blackie's.

[00:37:17]Remember you have to use the appeal here.

[00:37:20]I believe Blackie's is termed insane and brought to Robben Island.

[00:37:26]Your evidence is that in Act one it is revealed that Blackie's was caught was arrested stealing vegetables, but he was now placed in Robben Island for the purposes that he was claiming to be the savior of men.

[00:37:44]And therefore, that uh, mentality and all the words he said are the ones that declared him insane in public.

[00:37:52]So, when you are explaining you specify to say, "Blackie's is therefore brought to Robben Island solely for the fact of that he just claimed to be a savior without any other evidence." But Blackie's now is speaking uh, in a jumbled way and therefore, he is now declared insane.

[00:38:14]One of the things that we are talking about is he he is also uh, showing signs of being sane in the sense that he speaks poetically and logically. He speaks three different languages, Africans, Xhosa, and English.

[00:38:37]And now when we embed the four subjects, and Betty, implying he has a greater comprehension of knowledge and his environment.

[00:38:47]I believe his familiarity with the book of Revelations.

[00:38:51]He predicts things. Are your evidence for saying Blackie is insane?

[00:38:56]I believe I have only one paragraph of Blackie is being insane, which is the arrest.

[00:39:03]But when we're talking about being sane, I'm going to talk about poetic and logic knowledge, one. I'm going to talk about interpreting his environment, and being able to foresee uh [clears throat] the weather is two.

[00:39:25]I'm going to talk about the issue of the book of Revelations, where he's familiar with shipwrecks, and what others would not understand at a literal level.

[00:39:40]So, I have three paragraphs that prove that Blackie is is sane.

[00:39:45]But I have one paragraph that proves that Blackie is is insane.

[00:39:50]So, when we're coming in and say he he poetically, logically, metaphorically is something I left out. I kept saying, "What did I leave out?" Metaphorically.

[00:40:02]So, this is me talking about Blackie.

[00:40:05]Let's go to Stella.

[00:40:07]I believe Stella is a victim in a household that is filled with tension.

[00:40:13]She strives for normality.

[00:40:16]She wants to be accepted in a community and be part of a community.

[00:40:22]But she is isolated because of a marriage to a lighthouse keeper and therefore it means that she is sane because she desires and longs for what she used to do swimming in the bay and all the muscle pain and all these things. So as a result, I believe the sanity of Stella is coming in in two ways. Stella experiences and desires.

[00:40:51]The second one I believe is showing empathy to Blackie's start's sanity.

[00:40:59]Understanding to Blackie's.

[00:41:03]That's Stella for us in two ways.

[00:41:07]But now we also are going to bring in the fact that Blackie's domineering actions, jealousy are the ones that push Stella to become insane.

[00:41:21]>> [snorts] >> And I believe one of the things that gives us is she spirals into insanity due to that she cannot bear the overpowering atmosphere. She is isolated and the husband is jealous and as a result now she takes on Blackie's his mannerisms and now she becomes detached. She starts building the boat as well. Those are the signs that we can see that Stella now becomes insane.

[00:41:50]I'm going to talk about Blackie now.

[00:41:52]I believe Blackie shows signs of sanity when we talk about how rationally thinks.

[00:42:00]How authoritative he is as a lighthouse keeper. He seems calm, reasonable, moves everywhere without being seen and now we show that he's committed to his job as a lighthouse keeper.

[00:42:15]But another paragraph can discuss Blackie's and say, "He is kind of insane because he doesn't show any emotional intelligence.

[00:42:25]He is unrealistic when it comes to being possessive and jealous of Stella, which pushes him to violence.

[00:42:34]Cutting off Blackie's tongue, almost killed a man who just gave Stella flowers. And I believe that's where we can now talk about sanity and insanity for Lambreque.

[00:42:46]So now when we coming in and talking about sanity and insanity, each character influenced by their surroundings and experiences shows that there's a thin line between sanity and insanity.

[00:43:01]Social and personal fears push people to become insane, and therefore it means that you should be able to give now given a full essay you had so many. Three paragraphs for Stella, two paragraphs for Blackie's, three paragraphs for three paragraphs for Blackie's and two paragraphs for Lambreque, which means you choose only five.

[00:43:25]So you can give two for Stella, two for Blackie's and one for Lambreque, or whatever you wanted to decide, and you'll be a happy 25-mark candidate.

[00:43:35]Right, The Lighthouse Keeper's Wife, which is the extract. So we are from Act One.

[00:43:42]Laugh, laugh, mock, mock. Blackie's knows what Blackie's knows. Blackie's goes where Blackie's goes. Let the waters rise. Let the stars fall. Let the moon be swallowed. We are leaving this filthy place.

[00:43:56]Behind him Bunny appears in his hospital uniform. He's carrying a restraint jacket. Blackie's continues, unaware of Bunny's presence. Our lady is calling.

[00:44:08]The bands are playing. Sweet maidens of Pappedon are lighting up their lamps.

[00:44:13]The streets of Canal Canaladop are filled with of cheers and laughter. They are dancing on the parade. Blackie says coming. Blackie says coming my brothers.

[00:44:24]Hey old Blackie says that's Bunny. It's getting late. You're going to miss your supper. Who the hell you talking to, huh? There's nothing out there but water you old fool. Blackie says climbs obediently from the boat. Come on, come on. It's time to get you back to the crawl. What's that lighthouse woman want? I saw her talking to you. You know you're not allowed to talk to strangers.

[00:44:47]You could be sitting in the crawl all day counting your toes like the rest of the lunatics. Blackie says "Enkosi means bus." Bunny, yeah, you better thank me.

[00:44:58]I'm the only friend you have in this place. The superintendent is quite ready to have you locked up in the darkest one he can find after the trouble you caused last week. Come here. Blackie says move towards him. Hold it there. Hold it.

[00:45:13]Don't come any closer. When last did you have a bath? Blackie says goodness man.

[00:45:18]You smell like a sewage pit. Holds a restraint jacket up to Blackie. Says get on your knees. Blackie says kneels. Now say it. Come on. Blackie says "Hi." You don't want freedom. "Hi." "Oh cocky today and we says Bunny." Talking to strangers. You think you can fool me? I know you want this jacket. I can see it in your eyes. This jacket stops your head from burning, doesn't it? "Hi." "Silence those voices in your head." "Freedom."

[00:45:49]"Hater freedom." Throws a restraint jacket at Blackie's foot. "Put the bloody thing on." Blackie says "Hi."

[00:45:57]"All right. Refer to line three. We are leaving this filthy place." Provide a description of the place Blackie is referring to. I believe one of the things we're going to talk about is that Blackie is an inmate at Robin Island.

[00:46:19]Right.

[00:46:24]He believes he will escape.

[00:46:33]And also he is He is in an asylum as well.

[00:46:45]So, I believe that's what we are getting about Robin Island isolated also coming in as an answer today.

[00:46:55]And away from the main shore from the mainland is what we are talking about. Right. The mental asylum. Account for Blackie's reaction to Stella when she attempts to talk to him.

[00:47:11]I believe he sus- he suspects she might be coming to hurt him.

[00:47:28]But also to maybe also take his boat.

[00:47:38]He doesn't trust the kindness.

[00:47:49]And also he is not allowed to talk to strangers. So, you have three marks.

[00:47:54]He is not allowed to talk to strangers. So, those are our three marks.

[00:48:02]>> [snorts] >> Anyone or strangers.

[00:48:05]Right.

[00:48:07]Discuss whether Bunny lives up to this claim later in the play. He doesn't.

[00:48:13]He's not a true friend to Blackie at all.

[00:48:17]There's no freedom. And I believe he later on conspires with Lambrek against Blackie's.

[00:48:26]When Lambrek asks him to keep Blackie's locked up, he offers to kill him.

[00:48:31]He exaggerates the offense of a Blackie's dancing with Stella when Lambrek tells him about it.

[00:48:39]But he also encourages Blackie's to talk about Stella for Lambrek to hear.

[00:48:44]He shows no concern for Blackie's when Lambrek actually cuts out his tongue.

[00:48:50]So, he does not live up to this claim later on in the play at all.

[00:48:55]Right. For 7.4, you don't want freedom. Discuss why Bunny's words are ironic.

[00:49:02]I believe one of the things is he knows Bunny knows Blackie's has been building the boat.

[00:49:11]And he wants to be free more than anything.

[00:49:15]But the [clears throat] irony is that his request is not possible.

[00:49:18]He offers him in freedom in exchange for wearing the straitjacket.

[00:49:26]And I believe he is the one person that takes Blackie's his freedom away every day because he destroys the boat as well. So, that's the irony that we are getting there.

[00:49:38]Bunny is the destroyer of the boat and takes away Blackie's freedom.

[00:49:47]Purposefully and he enjoys it.

[00:49:50]He really enjoys away Blackie's freedom.

[00:49:54]So, that's our irony there. That's got 27.5.

[00:49:59]All cocky today, he said, "If you were the actor playing Barney in a production of The Lighthouse Keeper's Wife, how would you deliver these lines with reference to body language, gestures, and tone?"

[00:50:12]I believe one of the things is he can be firm, raised voice also is coming to me right now.

[00:50:21]And I believe pretending uh concern.

[00:50:30]And he can actually um point his finger or wave his finger at Blackie's.

[00:50:42]Look at him sideways with an eyebrow raised.

[00:50:48]Eyebrow raised.

[00:50:52]So, there's so many options. So, you have to give the tone. I believe it says with uh reference to tone, and I believe it will be body language and gestures.

[00:51:02]So, we've given that three marks. Right, we go to the next extract. It says, "Stella, you shouldn't smoke." "Ugh, what? There are so few pleasures left in the world. They all kill in the end. Is there brandy? Might as well do the whole lot. Lord knows what tomorrow brings.

[00:51:22]Feels like yesterday we up in Port Nolloth, and look where we are today."

[00:51:27]Stella fetches the brandy. "Life changes quick with the blink of an eye, I tell you. One moment you're drifting out in the calm, next moment you hit a storm, and life takes a twist." Holds the brandy over Lamprecht's coffee mug. "How much?" "Two fingers." Stella adds two measures of the brandy to his coffee.

[00:51:48]I went over to the crawl this afternoon, spoke to the superintendent. He invited us for supper. Quite unexpectedly, I might add. Sips from his coffee mug.

[00:51:59]Told him we're not really the social type. I don't think we should get too familiar with this lot on the island.

[00:52:05]They all seem a little desperate for company. Lord knows why it's that way with people. In all my years on the job, lighthouse after lighthouse, I've never been afraid to be by myself. Prefer it that way. People crowd your thoughts and feelings. Much better to observe them from a distance. What do you say, Stella? Stella nods and sits next to the stove. How was your work this afternoon?

[00:52:29]Fine, Ed too. Started a conversation between Stella and Lamorak.

[00:52:35]And state It says, um, and briefly comment on the type of relationship uh, that they have as it becomes evident from this extract. I believe one of the things that we could talk going to talk about is It's an unhappy relationship.

[00:52:56]An unhappy marriage.

[00:53:03]Strained is what I'm seeing in their conversation.

[00:53:12]There is no closeness in the conversation.

[00:53:17]There's They are distant in conversation.

[00:53:22]So, that's what I'm seeing there.

[00:53:25]And then lines six to eight, "Life changes caused with a blink of an eye, I tell you. One moment you're drifting out in the calm, next moment you cheat a storm and life takes a twist." Identify the figure of speech. It's definitely a metaphor.

[00:53:41]So, a In your opinion, is the statement made by Lambrecht of Stella's life true?

[00:53:48]Discuss and support your answer.

[00:53:51]I believe he is right. It is unpredictable. Life is unpredictable.

[00:53:56]Stella would not agree, of course, with us. I I I know, but before Stella came to the mental asylum, she used to live a very social life, decent life.

[00:54:07]But upon arrival at Robin Island, she is now secluded, isolated, lonely, being driven to become insane.

[00:54:17]So, I believe that's where the unpredictability lies. The Stella who was swimming in a Mussel Bay is the same Stella who's now being driven insane by her marriage and the behavior of her husband and the isolation at the island.

[00:54:33]So, it will be correct. Lambrecht told um the superintendent that they were not really the social type. Do you think Stella would agree? Definitely not.

[00:54:44]Stella would not agree. She was a social person before she came to Robin Island.

[00:54:49]And I believe she proves she is a social person when she interacts with Blackies when he's building the boat.

[00:54:57]Lambrecht is the one who's antisocial and does not want Stella to talk to anyone and therefore it means that um he made an excuse. But Lambrecht is not also antisocial because he once requested Barney to stay longer and share bread with him, which Barney refused. So, he cannot be antisocial as well. So, the answer was for both of them actually, but Stella would not agree.

[00:55:26]Briefly discuss the kind of love Lambrecht has for his wife.

[00:55:31]Jealous?

[00:55:34]Overprotective?

[00:55:41]is what we are having.

[00:55:45]I believe we were told about the issue that you almost killed a man for giving Stella flowers.

[00:55:50]He cuts off Lumumba's tongue for dancing with Stella and thinks she's leading him on.

[00:56:00]I believe he's holding on to past experiences.

[00:56:05]To past experiences as well.

[00:56:13]When they were still happy.

[00:56:19]So, that's what we have is what he's holding on. So, I believe the kind of love he has is sentimental because he's holding on. This will be sentimental, definitely.

[00:56:33]To their past life which doesn't exist and therefore that's why we saying this is a type, jealous, overprotective, sentimental and therefore that's the type of love he has.
