- Read the excerpt below and then answer the questions that follow
Waiyaki rose. He was now really exasperated. What had Nyambura got to do with them?...(Solved)
Read the excerpt below and then answer the questions that follow
Waiyaki rose. He was now really exasperated. What had Nyambura got to do with them? What? Could he not do whatever he wanted with his own life? Or was his life not his own? He would tell them nothing about Nyambura.
"Nyambura has nothing to do with this. If I love her, I love her. If you have nothing else to tell me, I will go."
"Remember the oath!"
"The oath!"
"You took it." "It did not forbid me to love people."
"It forbids you to betray the tribe, to reveal its secrets, or to do anything unclean which might ruin us." He would not discuss Nyambura, a girl who had rejected him. He looked at Kabonyi.Hatred was all that the dimming light from the lantern could reveal. The gleam in Kamau's eyes spoke of silent triumph, and Waiyaki now knew that even Kamau hated him. Yet Waiyaki was more annoyed with himself, for he felt he had not put up a good fight. Maybe he had lost grip with the tribe. Maybe he did not know where he was leading them. As he left them and walked out the word 'traitor', followed him and he wondered if he had actually seen all the consequences of the awareness he had aroused in the hills. But bitterness and frustration mingled and drove him away. He felt angry with everybody, his own father, Nyambura, the elders, and with himself. Kabonyi felt now triumphant as he faced the elders. "Elders of the tribe, I told you. You would not believe me. He has not denied associating with Joshua or the white man. How can he continue to be a teacher? How can we go on following him? Where is he leading us?" "He was always like that," an elder said sadly. "It is the girl. The girl has turned his mind the wrong way."
"As we said earlier," one more elder commented, "all these Christians should be circumcised."
"Yes," a few voices assented, but not all. For some feared that such an action would bring thahu to the land.
a) What has just happened before this excerpt? (2mks)
b) In one sentence, explain the relationship between Waiyaki and Kabonyi. (2mks)
