- Read the oral narrative below and answer the questions that follow.(Solved)
Read the oral narrative below and answer the questions that follow.
There was once only one wise being in all the world, and that was Kwaku Ananse, the spider .But Kwaku Ananse wished to keep all this wisdom to himself.
One day, bored with having to stay and guard his wisdom all day, Kwaku Ananse decided to store it away and hide it in a safe place. So he called his wife, Aso, and asked her to make him a big pot into which he could put all his wisdom.
Aso went down to the riverbank and collected clay .She carefully made a big pot - a great pot with a narrow opening at the top so it could be easily sealed. Then she put the pot out in the sun to bake, and with the remainder of the clay, fashioned a stopper.
When the pot was finished, Aso took it to her husband, who, after making sure that there were no cracks in it, gathered together all his wisdom and pushed it well down into the pot .He covered it with some cocoa-yam leaves, then put in the stopper and tied it on with some strong twine
Now Kwaku Ananse had decided to hide the pot way up in the branches of a huge, silk-cotton tree that grew some distance away in the forest .It was over three metres wide, and the spikes on its trunk would stop all but the most intrepid spiders from climbing it.
Carrying the pot in front of him, he made his way through the forest, followed – unbeknown - by his small son, Ntikuma. At last he reached the great tree and started to attempt to climb it. He hung the pot by a rope around his neck, with the stopper just below his nose so he could make quite sure it did not tip over.
Alas, try as he would ,KwakuAnanse could not climb the tree ,for the pot kept getting in the way of his arms and he found he was unable to grip the trunk .He tried ,and tried, and tried, but with no success.
He grew hot and sticky and started to swear angrily.
Now, Ntikuma was watching his father from behind a tree, puzzled by his curious antics. At last, when Kwaku Ananse’s swearing grew really bad, he could stand it no longer and came up to his father timidly.
“Surely my father”, he said, “If you wish to take that pot up the tree you should tie it to your back, not your front. Then your hands would be free.”
Ananse was furious. Here was his small son teaching him a lesson – a lesson which he realized was only too true. Shaking with anger and exhaustion, he lifted the pot intending to take it off and chastise his son .His hands were slippery with sweat and the great pot was heavy. It slipped through his fingers and crashed to the ground. The pot burst open and the contents were scattered far and wide .There was a storm coming, and the wind swept through the forest, lifting the wisdom and carrying it on its way. The rain poured down and swept the wisdom into the steams, which carried it into the sea .Thus wisdom spread throughout the world.
(a) Giving a reason, identify the sub-genre of the above narrative.
b)Why did Kwaku Ananse decide to hide his wisdom?
c)How did Ananse make sure that his wisdom was safe in the pot ?
d)Why was it difficult for Ananse to climb the tree with the pot?
e)Identify and illustrate one character trait of each of the following as brought out in the above narrative:
(i)Kwaku Ananse -
ii)Aso -
(f) What two aspects of this narrative qualify it as oral?
(g) Identify and illustrate one economic activity of the community from which this narrative was taken

Nora: And l?
Helmer: You too, of course; we are both saved, both you and l. Look, he sends you your bond back. he says he regrets and repents —that a happy change in his life -- never mine what he says! We are saved, Nora! No one can do anything to you, Oh, Nora, — no, first I must destroy these hateful things. Let me see - . (takes a look at the bond) No, no, I won't look at it.
