I well understood his 5 desire to let off steam. He fulfilled himself outside as he wished in his trade union activities I am trying to pinpoint any weakness in the way I conducted myelf. My social life may have been stormy and perhaps injured Modou's trade union career. Can a man, deceived and flouted by his family, impose himself on others? Can a man whose wife does not do her job well honestly demand a fair reward for labour? Aggression and condescension in a woman arose contempt and hatred for her husband.

2.1.1. The setting of this extract appears to be within the narrator's home, where she reflects on her life after her husband's desertion.

2.1.2. The pronoun "I" refers to the narrator, who is reflecting on her actions and experiences.

2.1.3. (a) The figure of speech used in the phrase "Just like laurels thrown at the feet of my lord and master" is a simile.

(b) This simile is relevant as it compares the narrator's pride in her children's success at school to the honor and recognition bestowed upon a master, emphasizing the extent of her pride and the importance of her children's achievements to her.

2.1.4. The statement is FALSE because the duration of Modou and the narrator's marriage is not specified in the extract.

2.1.5. (C) Spiritual leader.

2.1.6. One of the themes in this story is rejection, evident in Modou's desertion of his family and the narrator's feelings of betrayal and abandonment.

2.1.7. This extract reveals that Modou is self-centered and prioritizes his own desires and interests over those of his family. He seems to lack empathy and consideration for his wife's feelings, as evidenced by his detachment and the introduction of Benetou between them.

2.1.8. Tamsir's intention to marry his late brother's wife is a complex issue. While some may argue that it's justified as a means to provide support and stability to the family, others may view it as morally questionable due to the emotional implications and societal norms surrounding such relationships. Ultimately, the justification depends on individual perspectives and cultural norms.
