English Literature (2010)

First week:

Read The Signalman (by Charles Dickens) and answer the following question:

How does the writer make the narrator so interesting in the story?

Second week:

Using evidence from across the play, how does Shakespeare make the character of LadyMacbeth so striking?

Third week:

Read this extract from The Lemon Orchard (by Alex La Guma), and then answer the questionthat follows it:

The men came down between two long, regular rows of trees. The winter had not passedcompletely and there was a chill in the air; and the moon was hidden behind long, high parallelsof cloud which hung like suspended streamers of dirty cotton wool in the sky. All of the men butone wore thick clothes against the coolness of the night. The night and earth was cold anddamp, and the shoes of the men sank into the soil and left exact, ridged foot prints, but theycould not be seen in the dark.

One of the men walked ahead holding a small cycle lantern that worked from a battery, leadingthe way down the avenue of trees while the others came behind in the dark. The night closearound was quiet now that the crickets had stopped their small noises, but far out others thatdid not f eel the presence of the men continued the monotonous creek-creek-creek.Somewhere, even further, a dog started barking in short high yaps, and then stopped abruptly.The men were walking through an orchard of lemons and the sharp, bitter-sweet citrus smellhung gently on the night air.

‘Do not go so fast,’ the man who brought up the rear of the party called to the man with thelantern. ‘It’s as dark as a kaffir’s soul here at the back.’

He called softly, as if the darkness demanded silence. He was a big man and wore khaki trousersand laced-up riding boots, and an old shooting jacket with leather patches on the right breastand the elbows.

The shotgun was loaded. In the dark this man’s face was invisible except for a blur of shadowedhollows and lighter crags. Although he walked in the rear he was the leader of the party. Thelantern-bearer slowed down for the rest to catch up with him.

‘It’s cold, too, Oom,’ another man said.

‘Cold?’ the man with the shotgun asked, speaking with sarcasm. ‘Are you colder than thisverdomte hotnot, here?’ And he gestured in the dark with the muzzle of the gun at the manwho stumbled along in their midst and who was the only one not warmly dressed.

This man wore trousers and a raincoat which they had allowed him to pull on over his pyjamaswhen they had taken him from his lodgings , and he shivered now with chill, clenching his teethto prevent them from chattering. He had not been given time to tie his shoes and themetalcovered ends of the laces clicked as he moved.

‘Are you cold, hotnot?’ the man with the light jeered. The coloured man did not reply . He wasafraid, but his fear was mixed with a stubbornness which forbade him to answer them.

‘He is not cold,’ the fifth man in the par ty said.

‘He is shivering with fear. Is it not so, hotnot?’

The coloured man said nothing, but stared ahead of himself into the half-light made by thesmall lantern. He could see the silhouette of the man who carried the light, but he did not wantto look at the two who flanked him, the one who had complained of the cold, and the one whohad spoken of his fear. They each carried a sjambok and every now and then one of themslapped a corduroyed leg with his.

‘He is dumb also,’ the one who had spoken last chuckled.

‘No, Andries. Wait a minute,’ the leader who carried the shotgun said, and they all stoppedbetween the row of trees. The man with the lantern turned and put the light on the rest of theparty.

‘What is it?’ he asked.

‘Wag’n oomblikkie. Wait a moment,’ the leader said, speaking with forced casualness. ‘He is notdumb . He is a slim hotnot; one of those educated bushmen. Listen, hotnot, ’ he addressed thecoloured man, speaking angrily now. ‘When a baas speaks to you, you answer him. Do youhear?’ The coloured man’s wrists were tied behind him with a riem and the leader brought themuzzle of the shotgun down, pressing it hard into the small of the man’s back above where thewrists met. ‘Do you hear, hotnot? Answer me or I will shoot a hole through your spine.’

How does La Guma make this such a dramatic opening to the story?

Week 4:

Make a list of twelve literary, dramatic, and/ or poetic devices Shakespeare uses in Macbeth, and ArthurMiller in A View from the Bridge. Give one example of each from the text.

Week 3Household debt in South Korea in 2014 was reaching record levels. People were borrowingmore and saving less: the savings ratio fell from 19% in 1985 to 4% in 2014. Despite the low rateof saving, there was little demand-pull or cost-push inflation. Indeed, in 2014 the country cameclose to experiencing deflation.(a) Define ‘deflation’. [2](b) Explain the difference between demand-pull inflation and cost-push inflation. [4](c) Analyse how a central bank might reduce household borrowing. [6](d) Discuss whether a government should encourage an increase in saving. [8]

Week 4The unemployment rate in Wales fell from 8.2% in March 2013 to 6.8% in March 2014. One infour workers in Wales is employed in the public sector. A high proportion of workers areemployed in multinational companies, including a Japanese car producer and a South Koreanelectronics firm.(a) Define ‘unemployment’. [2](b) Explain two benefits that a firm may gain from producing in another country. [4](c) Using a production possibility curve diagram, analyse the effect of a decrease inunemployment on an economy’s output.

Week 5Indonesia’s output is influenced by its factors of production. A production possibility curvediagram can be used to show this relationship between resources and output. Indonesia does haveextensive fishing waters but does not actually catch many fish. Most of its fishing firms are smalland they compete against much larger foreign firms. These larger foreign firms have beenattracted into Indonesia’s waters because of increasing demand for fish. The price elasticity ofdemand for different types of fish has changed in the last few years.(a) Identify the two human factors of production. [2](b) Explain two economic concepts shown by a production possibility curve diagram. [4](c) Analyse why demand for a product may become more elastic over time. [6]

(d) Discuss whether small firms can compete successfully against large firms. [8]

Week 6Sales of bottled water in China doubled between 2010 and 2015. In 2013 China overtook theUSA as the biggest market for water by volume, but not value as the price of a bottle was higherin the USA. The increase in global consumption of bottled water has increased the size of firmsproducing bottled water but has also increased pollution.(a) Why is pollution an example of market failure? [2](b) Explain two causes of a shift of a supply curve to the right. [4](c) Analyse why the price of a product may be higher in the USA than China. [6](d) Discuss whether large firms or small firms benefit consumers more. [8]


Week 7Money and banking are closely linked. Money performs a number of functions, including being astandard for deferred payments, and it is used to pay workers, often directly into their bankaccounts.

[2](b) Explain two reasons why agricultural workers may be paid less than manufacturing workers.

[4](c) Analyse why private sector banks may earn higher profits than public sector banks. [6](d) Discuss whether an increase in bank lending will benefit an economy. [8]


Week 8In 2012 oil was discovered in Kenya, but in 2014 an American firm stopped its plans to explorefor oil in the Arabuko Sokoke forest in the country. The relative sizes of Kenya’s primary,secondary and tertiary sectors are changing. The amount of capital goods in the country is alsoincreasing.(a) Define the ‘secondary sector’ and give an example. [2](b) Explain two benefits that an economy may gain as a result of the discovery of oil on its land.

[4](c) Analyse why the social costs of oil extraction may be greater than the private costs. [6](d) Discuss whether a country would benefit from devoting more resources to producing capitalgoods. [8]
