1.1 EXTRACT A
[Stephen Kumalo and Msimangu are walking together.]
I shall walk slowly up the street, he said. You must tell them – he pointed
with his hand.
– I shall tell them, my friend.
So he told them, and having told them, closed the front door on the
wailing of the women, for such is their custom. Slowly he followed the bent 5
figure up the street, saw him nodding as he walked, saw the people turning.
Would age now swiftly overtake him? Would this terrible nodding last for all
his days, so that men said aloud in his presence, it is nothing, he is old and
does nothing but forget? And would he nod as though he too were saying,
Yes, it is nothing, I am old and do nothing but forget? But who would know 10
that he said, I do nothing but remember?
Msimangu caught him up at the top of the hill, and took his arm, and it
was like walking with a child or with one that was sick. So they came to the
shop. And at the shop Kumalo turned, and closed his eyes, and his lips were
moving. Then he opened his eyes and turned to Msimangu. 15
– Do not come further, he said. It is I who must do this.
And then he went into the shop.
Yes, the bull voice was there, loud and confident.

1.2 EXTRACT B
[The judge delivers the verdict.]
Jarvis sits stern and erect. The young white man looks before him
and frowns fiercely. The girl sits like the child she is, her eyes are fixed on the
Judge, not on her lover.
I sentence you, Absalom Kumalo, to be returned to custody, and to be
hanged by the neck until you are dead. And may the Lord have mercy upon 5
your soul.
The Judge rises, and the people rise. But not all is silent. The guilty one
falls to the floor, crying and sobbing. And there is a woman wailing, and an old
man crying. Tixo, Tixo. No one calls for silence, though the Judge is not quite
gone. For who can stop the heart from breaking? 10
They come out of the Court, the white on one side, the black on the other,
according to the custom. But the young white man breaks the custom, and he
and Msimangu help the old and broken man, one on each side of him. It is not
often that such a custom is broken. It is only when there is a deep experience
that such a custom is broken. The young man's brow is set, and he looks 15
fiercely before him. That is partly because it is a deep experience, and partly
because of the custom that is being broken. For such a thing is not lightly
done.

QUESTION 2: STRANGE CASE OF DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE

Read the extracts from the novel below and answer the questions set on each. The
of your answer.
QUESTION 2.2.
2.1 EXTRACT C
[Mr Utterson engages an unwilling Mr Hyde in a conversation.]
'Yes,' returned Mr Hyde, 'it is as well we have met; and à propos, you
should have my address.' And he gave a number of a street in Soho.
'Good God!' thought Mr Utterson, 'can he too have been thinking of the
will?' but he kept his feelings to himself and only grunted in acknowledgement
of the address. 5
'And now,' said the other, 'how did you know me?'
'By description,' was the reply.
'Whose description?'
'We have common friends,' said Mr Utterson.
'Common friends?' echoed Mr Hyde, a little hoarsely. 'Who are they?' 10
'Jekyll, for instance,' said the lawyer.
'He never told you,' cried Mr Hyde, with a flush of anger. 'I did not think
you would have lied.'
'Come,' said Mr Utterson, 'that is not fitting language.'
The other snarled aloud into a savage laugh; and the next moment, with 15
extraordinary quickness, he had unlocked the door and disappeared into the
house.
The lawyer stood awhile when Mr Hyde had left him, the picture of
disquietude. Then he began slowly to mount the street, pausing every step or
two and putting his hand to his brow like a man in mental perplexity. The 20
problem he was thus debating as he walked was one of a class that is rarely
solved.
[Search for Mr Hyde]

solving the case of Mr Hyde.
AND

SC/NSC
2.2 EXTRACT D
[Dr Jekyll writes his statement about Mr Hyde.]
Men have before hired bravos to transact their crimes, while their own
person and reputation sat under shelter. I was the first that ever did so for his
pleasures. I was the first that could thus plod in the public eye with a load of
genial respectability, and in a moment, like a schoolboy, strip off these
lendings and spring headlong into the sea of liberty. But for me, in my 5
impenetrable mantle, the safety was complete. Think of it – I did not even
exist! Let me but escape into my laboratory-door, give me a second or two to
mix and swallow the draught that I had always standing ready; and whatever
he had done, Edward Hyde would pass away like the stain of breath upon a
mirror; and there in his stead, quietly at home, trimming the midnight lamp in 10
his study, a man who could afford to laugh at suspicion, would be Henry
Jekyll.
The pleasures which I made haste to seek in my disguise were, as I
have said, undignified; I would scarce use a harder term. But in the hands of
Edward Hyde they soon began to turn towards the monstrous. When I would 15
come back from the excursions, I was often plunged into a kind of wonder at
my vicarious depravity.
[Henry Jekyll's full statement of the case]
2.2.1 Refer to lines 5−6 ('But for me … safety was complete').
Why does Dr Jekyll consider his mantle to be impenetrable? (2)
2.2.2 Refer to lines 14−15 ('But in the … towards the monstrous').
(a) Name ONE 'monstrous' deed Mr Hyde commits. (1)
(b) Why is the following statement FALSE?
Mr Utterson only finds out about the monstrous deeds of Mr

Hyde after he has read Henry Jekyll's full statement of the
case. (1)

the ANSWER BOOK.
Dr Jekyll conducts this experiment because he wants to prove …
A he is better than Dr Lanyon.

B the duality of human nature.
C that man is always respected.
D that evil will always prevail. (1)
2.2.4 Explain Dr Jekyll's attitude towards Mr Hyde in this extract. (2)

SC/NSC
2.2.5 What does this extract reveal about the character of Dr Jekyll?
2.2.6 Consider the novel as a whole. Explain the irony of Dr Jekyll's

belief that Mr Hyde would disappear whenever he wants him to. (2)
2.2.7 One of the themes in the novel is logic versus the illogical.
Discuss this theme by referring to Dr Lanyon and Dr Jekyll. (3)
2.2.8 In Henry Jekyll's Full Statement of the Case he says that it was
'Hyde, after all, and Hyde alone, that was guilty of these cruel
deeds'.

Might have been mine! Only I have left to say,
More is thy due than more than all can pay.

Safe toward your love and honour.

To make thee full of growing. Noble Banquo,

No less to have done so; let me infold thee,

We will establish our estate upon
Our eldest, Malcolm …

QUESTION 5.2.
5.1 'NEXT DOOR'
EXTRACT I
[Paul hears his neighbours arguing.]
A door slammed next door. Now someone hammered on a door.

Paul looked down into his microscope once more, looked at nothing –
while a prickling sensation spread over his skin. He faced the truth: The man
and woman would kill each other, if he didn't stop them.
He beat on the wall with his fist. 'Mr. Harger! Stop it!' he cried. 5
'Mrs. Harger! Stop it!'
'For Ollie from Lavinia!' All-Night Sam cried back at him. 'For Ruth from
Carl, who'll never forget last Tuesday! For Wilber from Marv, who's lonesome
tonight! Here's the Sauter-Finnegan Band asking, Love, What Are You Doing
to My Heart?' 10
Next door, crockery smashed, filling a split second of radio silence.
And then the tidal wave of music drowned everything again.
Paul stood by the wall, trembling in his helplessness. 'Mr. Harger!
Mrs. Harger! Please.'
'Remember the number!’ said All-Night Sam. 'Milton nine-three- 15
thousand!’
Dazed, Paul went to the phone and dialled the number.
'WJCD,' said the switchboard operator.
'Would you kindly connect me with All-Night Sam?' said Paul.
'Hello!’ said All-Night Sam. He was eating, talking with a full mouth. In 20
the background, Paul could hear sweet, bleating music, the original of what
was rending the radio next door.
'I wonder if I might make a dedication,' said Paul.
'Dunno why not,' said Sam.

5.2 'TRANSFORMING MOMENTS'
EXTRACT J
[The narrator goes on a weekend away.]
We had just walked past the minister's house when a young boy ran up to us.
He said the minister wanted to see me. I went with him and I was about to
walk into the kitchen when the minister himself came out and gave me fast
instructions that I must go and get my weekend bag packed because he was
going to visit his family and I was coming with him. I stood there at the top of 5
the stairs open-mouthed, unable to move or speak. He looked at me and
laughed out loud. He told me we had less than an hour to go, so I should run.
Without a word I turned and took the five steps in one big jump. Running at
top speed, clutching my books tightly to my chest – I realised that I was not
alone in the world – everyone was staring at me. I tried to pull myself together 10
and put a hand across my lips to hide the big grin.
Once in my dormitory I did not know what to take or leave, I was not
exactly used to going on weekends. I quickly got out of my school uniform and
into my best dress. I ran to the bathroom to wet my hair a little so I could try to
comb it. 15

4 Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
5 The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;
6 The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush
7 The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
8 With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.
9 What is all this juice and all this joy?

10 A strain of the earth's sweet being in the beginning
11 In Eden garden. – Have, get, before it cloy,

Everything has changed (except graves)  Mzi Mahola
1 I stood at the ruins

2 of my former school
3 where I was patiently moulded;
4 wild plants own every space now;
5 my soul was paralyzed.
6 What happened to the roofs
7 the doors and windows?
8 Can these dumb lonely walls
9 still recognise me?
10 Everything has changed;
11 the ground where we ran and laughed
12 and the corner of the playground
13 where I pummelled a schoolmate almost to pulp
14 are scarfed with wattle
15 to conceal my shame.
16 A short distance away
17 stands a renovated Church
18 (a Dutch Reformed formerly,
19 now a Methodist)
20 embraced by a mute little cemetery
21 that claims the past
22 (the dividing fence has vanished)
23 though growth strangles it to near extinction;
24 cold names of departed whites
25 who were part of this community
26 and made monumental contributions
27 are etched on the headstones.
28 Sometimes whites come here
29 to clean and put flowers
30 on their family graves;
