- Read the extract below and answer the question that follow(Solved)
Read the extract below and answer the question that follow
"At least she is from the country,"he said sounding a bit odd.She looked at him and them lowered her eyes to the latter.It was characteristically Aoro-brief and to the point.She felt kind of sorry for Mark.First there had been Becky who had left home unceremoniously only to return with a white man in tow.A very nice man but apparently not nice enough for Becky.He had found out that she was having an affair during his trips abroad and had sued for a divorce.Now she was living alone with the children,financially well off,but unhappy.
It was one thing to enjoy the thrills of an affair,but a different thing altogether to have a carte blanche to do exactly as you pleased.John had been terribly hurt of course and Mark had been furious with her.
Then Tony had joined priesthood-Mark resisted it at first but recently during Tony's ordination he had been full of pride for his son-whose face had shoe joy and youthful dedication.
Vera's case had been the hardest to accept.Mark thought of the world of Vera,and declared that she wanted to join the catholic Prelature of Opus Dei as a non-marrying member.It didn't help that Mark had never heard the Opus Dei and could not understand why Vera could not Marry.But he had eventually accepted because he loved her.Because she looked so happy,so radiant.Anything that could bring such joy and serenity could not be that bad.It was a pity though that she did not wear a veil or a habit.That way he could at least have bragged about her a little to his friends.His children were a source of great envy to his less lucky friends.Vera for one was a fully qualified electronics expert and had a lucrative job in the city with a large salary and all sorts of benefits.Women like that tend to marry the most amazing wimps and Mark had held his breath in fear.But in the end all Vera wanted was to dedicate her life and work to God,and there was no turning back.
So Elizabeth secretly hoped that Aoro would bring home a nice girl-naturally a luo like himself - who would proceed to have many children all of ordinary black colour.

"My child,I am terribly ashamed of you.You are no longer yet you have never been anything but selfish with selfishness of a child.You feel that other people may suffer,but as for you,it is your right to be happy.You shake like a reed in the wind because you have never forgiven God for not giving you as many children as other women whom you consider less worthy.And you fell that God owes it to you to make sure that your only child lives and prospers.Learn my child that God owes nobody anything.He gives to all men both wicked and good from his great bounty according to his wisdom and mercy.You are no longer a child yet you understand nothing.

Read the extract below and answer the questions that follow
"Now you can see why I didn't want to go home."
"How can you possibly think of getting married without at least letting them know?Give them a chance.They are your parents and they care about whatever you might think."
"But he is white! Remember father couldn't even stand Tommy who is only a Luhya from neighbouring province.He will just shout at me."That might be so- he gave me a shock.You'd have to get used to people getting shocked and staring at you.So it is not uprising that your father might react the same way,but it is your duty to tell them"
"Why don't you tell them."
"Forget it,once is enough.Dad nearly passed out - so mad was he.I never had to talk so fast or so hard in my life.He wanted to come after you immediately until I pointed out just how large a place Nairobi is.Still i would hate to go through that again.This,dear sister,is your ball game."
Becky got up and stood looking out of the window at the street below
"Why is it that i have never felt a part of them?"
"Because you were too pre occupied with yourself to notice how they really cared.It does help to tear your eyes off the mirror once in a while to really look at other people you know."
"Hey! you are really angry with me."
Look Becky.You are an adult.Surely you can face your own father and mother and tell them that this is the man you have chosen.They won't kill you.They can't tie you down.They may or may not give their blessings but atleast they will know that you are safe and happy.I don't have a child ,but if i did,I'd hate to be permanently guessing about her whereabouts and welfare.Besides I think they are damned good parents - if you ask me.If they say so,it is only because they are thinking of your own good.Have you stopped to think how difficult it is going to be for you - and your children?Where will you live?Where does he come from anyway?
"He is a canadian.We might live in Canada or here in Kenya-we have not decided.He really likes the country and its people,you know.He is a nice man - too nice for his own good.The fact that someone is white does not mean that he is automatically bad and looks down on Africans."

b)Describe the character of Vera and Becky as brought out in this excerpt(4 marks)
c)How effective is the use of dialogue in this excerpt(4 marks)
