1.COMPREHENSION

Read the passage and then answer the questions that follow; (20 marks)

Two weeks before the fateful examination began; I was indiscreet enough to fight the principal’s son. He
was a fellow fifth former with whom ,up till then ,I had no quarrel at all .He was inclined to be a little
overbearing at times ;but then a flint needs contact with another flint in order to spark, and I had been forced
to develop from the start an easy-going and tolerant disposition .I suppose as the examination drew nearer, our
nerves became tauter and our tempers shorter .When, during a discussion in our classroom about careers
Samuel declared unnecessarily loudly that he believed all persons who came from North should return to it
to find employment ,I suddenly felt my anger rising like a column of mercury. I asked him why, in as calm a
voice as I could assume. He replied with a sneer by quoting a Sagroson proverb whose meaning was roughly
that even a man who does not know where he is going to ought, at least, to know where he has come from:
and the gentle laughter, which greeted it brought my temper to boiling point. I was tall and well built, but so
was he. Three strides took me beside him and by the time the class prefect succeeded in separating us,
Sagrosan blood and Lokko blood had mingled on the floor. Moreover, as is the custom with us, the fight was
as much verbal as physical and a torrent of abuse directed mainly against the other’s antecedents was flowing
out of each battered mouth.

We were bloody, sweaty, and dusty when it was over but still only partly through our respective stocks of
abuse. Nothing more than a heighted respect each for the other might have come out of the fight, had Samuel
been a boarder. Unfortunately for both of us, however, he lived very much under his august father’s eye and
the marks I had succeeded in leaving on his face were too distinctive to be hidden by any sort of artifice. I
prepared for the worst (prepared in spirit that is, for physical preparations were known to be unavailing at
such times.)The summons to the principal’s office duly came after lunch the same day.
He was quite impartial, I’ll say that for him. We were both arched over his desk and inscribed across our
rumps with two dozen strokes of a bamboo four-footer .Then we were made to shake hands with each other
and sent off for walk together along the beach and back (this was the principal’s usual way of dealing with a
pair of fighters, and one which usually made bosom friends of them.)That thrashing and the walk which
followed ,gave me the moments of deepest mortification I have experienced ,and drove home to me the utter
futility and wastefulness of making issue of tribal divisions, in a land where much else required our
attentions and our energies .Having heard from us how the fight started ,the principal might so early have

©JSS MOCKS 2024 [Contact 0724333200 for Marking Schemes or Order online at
www.kenyaeducators.co.ke]
wasted our time and his reading us along patriotic sermon on the essential brotherhood of all the people of
Songhai .

Such a theme would have made him appear to me hypocrite and to Samuel a traitor –for we both knew
only too well that the difference between us were real, if not deep .Instead, we were made to share a
fellowship of misery and humiliation which linked us together more effectively than any half-believed fiction
about cultural or ethnic affinities could have succeeded in doing.

QUESTIONS:

(a) What was the cause of the fight? (2 marks)

(b) Show how the statement “A flint needs contact with another flint in order to spark” is applicable to this story?

f) Identify two styles that are used to show the extent of the narrator’s anger? (2marks)

h) Get a quotation from the passage that shows the fight did not end the tribal differences between the two
groups? (2 mark)

2.ORAL LITERATURE

The Man, His Son and the Squirrel


There was a certain town whose only occupation was catching squirrels (ground squirrels). There was a man
in this town who excelled at catching squirrels. One squirrel was so smart that it eluded everyone in town. It
was said that only this man said to his son, “Come, let’s go to catch the squirrel.” They took an axe; they
found the squirrel near its hole. Then the squirrel ran and entered its hole. They searched out all the holes,
then they stopped them up. Then the man said to his son, “Don’t let the quirrel get out of its hole.” He
answered, “Okay.” But one hole wasn’t stopped up, and the squirrel escaped. When it escaped, the father
came to his son and said to him, “Why did you let it escape? If I go home now, I will be ashmed.” He
grabbed the axe and struck his son. Then he went on his way and left his son unconscious. Ants began to fill
his eyeballs an his ears; vultures were circling above him.

In the afternnon, the headman of a rich caravan arrived at the spot. When he arrived, he setp up camp. Then he
got up and went for a stroll and saw the boy. He called his slaves to take him and have him washed and
shaved. The boy recovered. The headman had no offspring. When he took the boy, he decided that he would
make him his son. He sent a message to the chief of the town, telling him that he had an offspring, that he was
happy he had become a complete man, and that he would now receive the gifts due to him.

The chief said, “This is a lie. He is not his son. If he is his son, then let him come that I can see.” Then the
headman arrived in town. The chief gave his sons horses worth ten pounds. He said, “Go and join the son of
the headman. Have a race. When you finish give these horses away” (forcing him to do the same). They did it
and they returned. the next day, the chief again gave them horses worth ten pounds. They did as the day
before. They did it five times. They ran out of horses. Then the chief said, “Indeed, it is his son I have run out
of horses. If it weren’t his son, he wouldn’t agree to let him give his own horses away to match the presents.”
Then the chief summoned his daughter. The Gralladima brought his to help. The Madaki also gave, and the
Makama gave. Altogether, four wives. The chief gave a big house. The headman came and brought twenty
concubines and gave to his son. There was continuous feasting.

Then one day the son saw his father, the one who had knocked him down with the axe because of the
squirrels. The father came to the house of his son and said, “Throw away your gown and start catching
squirrels.” The slaves of the headman said, “This is a crazy man, let us all strike him.” The boy said to him,
“This is my father, the one who sired me.” The headman said, “I have already lied to the chief. Let us keep
that secret. I will give your father wealth. Let him go home. Should he want to see you, let him come to visit
you. If you want to see him, then you can go and visit him.” The real father said he did not agree. Then the
headman said, “Well then, let us go out in the countryside.” They went. The headman unsheathed his sword.
He handed it to the son, and said, “Kill one of the two of us.” Here ends the story.

1. UFAHAMU (ALAMA 15)


Soma kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali.
Lugha inaweza kuelezwa kwa jumla kuwa ni mfumo wa kueleza chanzo au kiini cha
mawasiliano na sote tunakubaliana kuwa matumizi yake yameanza tangu kuumbwa
kwa binadamu kwani ni vigumu kukisia kuwepo kwa jamii ya watu bila lugha ya
mawasiliano yoyote ile.
Katika taifa lolote,huwepo na lugha moja au hata zaidi ya moja ambayo huwa ndicho
chombo zatika cha mawasiliano ya taifa katika nyanja za:elimu, maandishi, siasa na
biashara.Kwa mfano mataifa ya Kanada hutumia lugha mbili kwa usawa kama lugha za
taifa na za kikazi. Maana ya lugha ya taifa ni lugha moja ambayo huteuliwa kutumika
katika shughuli zote za taifa hasa katika nchi yenye lugha nyingi za kikabila. Lugha ya
taifa ni muhimu sana kwa maisha na maendeleo ya taifa lolote lile.Lugha hii huwa
ndiyo kiungo cha kueneza umoja na uelewano miongoni mwa jamii nyingi tofauti na
huwa kama kitambulisho kwao kwa kuwa wao ni ndugu wa jamii moja kubwa, yaani
taifa lao.

Kenya ni mfano mzuri wa taifa lenye lugha nyingi zinazozidi 40 za vikundi vidogo
vidogo vya kikabila.Hapo kabla ya miaka mia moja hivi iliyopita kila kimojawapo cha
vikundi hivi kilijitambulisha kama taifa huru.Baada ya kuja kwa serikali ya kikoloni na
hasa baada ya Kenya kujinyakulia uhuru,haja ya kuunganisha raia wote chini ya taifa
moja lenye uongozi na shabaha moja lilikuwa ndilo jambo lililozingatiwa sana.Kwa hivyo
utamaduni wa taifa la Kenya ni mchanganyiko wa tamaduni za watu wengi wenye
mila,desturi,imani na itikadi tofauti. Utamaduni humaanisha jumla ya amali na tabia za
watu wa jamii fulani. Amali hizi zinafungamanisha fikira, ustaarabu, mila, taasisi na
sanaa za aina zote za jamii inayohusika. Ili kujieneza na kujiimarisha,taifa huhitaji
chombo hicho kuwasiliana na kuwaunganisha watu wake wenye asili
mbalimbali.Chombo hicho huwa ni lugha ambayo siyo tu kwamba ni sehemu ya
utamaduni wa jamii bali pia ni njia muhimu sana ya kutawanyia na kustawishia ule
utamaduni.

Katika taifa lenye lugha nyingi kama Kenya kwa mfano,lugha ya taifa
inayozungumzwa na kueleweka na idadi kubwa ya raia ambayo imekiuka mipaka na
tofauti za kikabila ni njia muhimu sana ya kueneza maongozi ya taifa, bendera ya taifa,
ndicho kielelezo cha taifa lolote lile lililo huru. Lugha kama hiyo huvunja na hukomesha
hisia za kibinafsi na kikabila na badala yake kuunda moyo wa uaminifu wa kitaifa.

Zaidi ya kuwa chombo cha mawasiliano, lugha ni kielelezo cha fikira na hisia za
binadamu.Lugha ya watu fulani haituelezi tu ujuzi au maarifa yao bali pia mtazamo wao
kimaisha, falsafa na mawazo yao. Kwa ufupi lugha hutufahamisha namna akili za watu
waizungumzayo ile lugha zinavyofikiri na kutafanya maazimio.Lugha ni sehemu ya
utamaduni wa taifa ilimozaliwa na lazima lugha hiyo ifunzwe katika muktadha wa
maisha ya jamii ihusikayo.Utamaduni wa jamii havitenganiki na lugha yake.
