SECTION A
Question 1.1: Is the content genre of Text A a fable or fairy tale? Provide two
reasons for your answer. (5 marks)
**Answer:**
The content genre of Text A can be classified as a fable rather than a fairy tale.
1. **Moral Lesson**: Fables often convey a moral lesson through the actions of
anthropomorphized animals. In this story, the character of Chidhange, the hyena,
embodies traits of greed and deceit, while Duma represents innocence and bravery.
The conclusion of the story showcases that malicious intent leads to comedic yet
dire consequences for Chidhange, illustrating a lesson about honesty and courage.
2. **Animal Characters**: Fables typically feature animals that possess human-like
characteristics, allowing them to articulate human traits and follies. In "Where is
Grandmother?", the hyena portrays cunning behavior, while Duma displays
determination, further emphasizing the moral of the tale and reinforcing the fable
genre.
