Tutorial Letter 203/0/2023 Applied English Literature Studies: Foundation Phase First Additional Language ENG1516 Year Module Department of English Studies Dear Student FEEDBACK OF ENG1516 ASSIGNMENT 03 Thank you for completing your third assignment. This feedback tutorial letter provides you with guidelines and examples of how you could have responded to the questions set for the assignment. Please study it alongside the specific feedback comments that you received from your marker. If you are unsure about why you received your mark, please contact Mr Russell Goldman at: Question 1.1 Identify three poetic techniques which serve to highlight the emotions experienced by the children in a crowded taxi during the Covid pandemic. This question requires you to name three poetic techniques used in the poem to highlight the emotions experienced by the children and include quotes from the poem to support the techniques you named. Some examples of poetic techniques you could have identified are: Onomatopoeia, to enhance feelings of excitement or fear: - School starting now, we together bleat - Small Sam sneezes over us, so we screech Alliteration, to enhance feelings of calm: - Driver Lebo soothes us with sweets to eat Internal rhyme, to enhance feelings of panic, concern, or fear: - Don’t swipe; use this paper wipe; please don’t leak! (3) Question 1.2 Examine the end-rhymes “bleat” and “screech”. What do these words denote about the children’s attitudes within the context of the poem? This is a relatively straight-forward question that you could have answered in several ways, but ideally you should have identified that both words are examples of onomatopoeia, are both sounds made by animals and, thus, denote a sense of panic, fear, agitation or excitement in the children. (2) Question 1.3 Describe the character of Driver Lebo, as depicted in the poem. This is another relatively straight-forward question that you could also have answered in several ways. However, you chose to answer this question, you should have included at least two character traits describing Driver Lebo and you should have substantiated your observations with references to or quotes from the poem. You could have included any of the following observations in your answer: - Driver Lebo is kind for giving the children sweets. - Driver Lebo is friendly because he greets the other drivers. - Driver Lebo is reckless and/or in a rush, due to the way he honks and swerves through traffic. - Driver Lebo is careless or greedy for squeezing many children into sagging seats. (2) Question 1.4 Refer to page 38 of Tutorial Letter 501 and discuss the relevance of this poem to the use of the Humanistic Theory in the Children’s Literature classroom. You should refer to Miss Ismail’s approach as an educator and the effect it has on learner’s attitudes. .................................................continued................................................
