Passage 2
History and politics play a very important role in the Arab world and will continue to do so for
a long time to come. Therefore, in order to have a complete understanding of Arab society, both
areas should be closely studied. In the 20th century there were many changes. For example,
several revolutions took place. And in the forties and fifties, many people began to move away
from the countryside to the towns. Even Arabic literature was affected by this. Writers began
to produce novels, plays and short stories, which increasingly became a significant part of Arab
life and culture.

All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first
candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their
perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.
All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners
should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark
scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the
candidates response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.
Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by
which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited.
When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a
candidates response, the team leader must be consulted.
Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with
an alternative response.
Mark schemes will indicate within the table where, and which strands of QWC,
are being assessed. The strands are as follows:
i) ensure that text is legible and that spelling, punctuation and grammar are
accurate so that meaning is clear
ii) select and use a form and style of writing appropriate to purpose and to
complex subject matter
iii) organise information clearly and coherently, using specialist vocabulary
when appropriate

Saeed is a victim of his own character. He is unable to
overcome his feelings of having been betrayed and is too
caught up with revenge to see clearly and opt for a better
future. Revenge is therefore the purpose he has given to
his life. Candidates should give examples from the book
to support their argument.

The proverbial message is that attaining what you want
is easier than keeping it. Candidates should briefly re-tell
the story and give their opinion on how we can make use
of this in our daily lives.
