Question 1.1 (5 marks)
The content genre of Text A is a fairy tale. Identify three characteristics of a fairy
tale in Text A.
Text A, "Phama and the Mealie Pip," displays three key characteristics of a fairy
tale. First, it contains magical elements, such as the giant magic stalk and the
magical singer, goose, and bag, which are central to the story (Bettelheim, 1976).
Second, it follows the classic theme of good versus evil, seen in Phama's
cleverness against the giant. Lastly, the narrative has a moral lesson about
courage and resourcefulness, which are common in fairy tales to guide young
readers (Zipes, 2012). These features make "Phama and the Mealie Pip" a classic
example of a fairy tale.

Genre.


Question 1.2 (10 marks)
Text A may be seen to metaphorically depict the fears or problems faced by small
children in their daily lives, such as the overwhelming power and strength of
problematic adults, poverty, the absence of joy or comfort in cultural wealth and
the general fear of the unknown. Read through Text A again and discuss how any
one fear or problem is represented in the story. State whether, in your opinion,
the story effectively helps children feel better about the fear or problem
represented in Text A that you have identified.
