QUESTION 1:
POETRY Closely read the following poem “Farewell” by E.E. Sule and
answer the question that follows. Tight jinxed professors gazing at the
immensity of nothing! Behold a multitude of books speeding away in
escape Pens swagger in hollowness, prostitute with cheap sheets Afro-
haired professors walking the length of the Atlantic in fury! Bid the sun, bid
the moon, bid the stars, bid the rivers Farewell Farewell to the flapping
bravado of the flag Farewell to the querulous query of the anthem Ask the
rocks, ask the rivers ask the ghosts of the deserted shelves ask the rocks,
ask the rivers ask the emasculated walls surrounding shelves They will be
manacled by crooked questions In their intention a jeremiad shall burst
They will compose startling rhetoric Only in amputated tongues (Omoniyi.
T. ed. 2014. Poems for a Century: An Anthology on Nigeria. p. 51)
Glossary: ‘jeremiad’ refers to a long, mournful complaint or lamentation; a
list of woes. ENG2602/102/0/2024 17 Write a carefully-worded essay of
1000 – 1200 words (approximately 2 to 3 typed pages) in length in which
you analyse how the poet uses diction, particularly metaphors, poetic
techniques, and any other features of language to express a mixture of
frustration, outrage, disappointment, hopelessness, and sadness, at the
forced migration of educated people from their land after political
independence. As he laments the disastrous state of affairs in his country,
the poet turns to inanimate objects like rocks, rivers, shelves, even ghosts,
, for answers. His use of personification suggests his loss of confidence in
some of his compatriots and expresses how his country has dashed the
hopes of its people, especially professionals like university professors.
Please note:
• You must quote from the poem to substantiate your argument.
• Explain how each quotation supports your argument.
• Do not discuss anything in your essay that you cannot relate to a sense of
disappointment and defeat caused by a country that has dashed the hopes
of its people, especially professionals like university professors.
• Do not provide definitions of literary devices; explain how they are used to
convey meaning in the poem relating to the question.
• Do not discuss anything in your essay that you cannot relate directly to
the poet’s disappointment at how things have turned out in his country after
independence. Assignment Guidance Reading for Pre-writing To answer
this question, you first need to read the whole poem more than once in
order to get a sense of what it is about. Thereafter, annotate the poem as
you identify words, phrases, and expressions you are not familiar with. As
you do so, establish first the surface meanings and then the contextual
meanings of these words and phrases. This is an important step to take as
it makes you appreciate the relevance of context and will assist you in
being relevant to the poem and the accompanying prescribed question.
