Foreword
Thank you to all the English Home Language teachers from across the country for your input.
The main idea behind this guide is to provide a question bank for learners, as there are no
previous papers on the new literature texts. For that reason as well, I have elected to only use
the new texts as there is a lot available in the form of previous papers on the internet.
I would like to make this a growing guide to which we continually add questions and ideas.
The guide has been structured into sections that cover the poetry, novels and the dramas, with
the answers at the back of the guide.
The unseen poetry has also been added.
Thank you to Liezel Vrey, Karin Petersen and Karen Steyn for assisting with the proof reading
and editing.
We tried as far as possible to structure everything into the same format, but because everyone
does not use the same program, there are some problems with the layout. Personally I type all
docs on Microsoft Word 2007. Copying from Pdf files also posed a problem, but we tried.
SOME TIPS FOR SETTING A GRADE 12 PAPER
?
Follow the exam guidelines as set out by the department of education:
- A paper 2 MUST consist of FOUR prescribed poems
- ONE UNSEEN poem 每 CONTEXTUAL QUESTION ONLY
- An essay question for Novel and Drama
- A Contextual Section for Novel and drama
- Look at the layout for previous paper 2s as the format HAS changed in
the past few years.
- Papers are typed in ARIAL 12 Font
- Although there is no set rule, one mark questions seldom occur (if ever 每
check previous papers) in paper 2.
The exam guidelines and rubrics form part of this study guide.

QUESTION 1:
POETRY ESSAY
NOTE THAT THE POETRY ESSAY IS 250 每 300 WORDS AND IS MARKED WITH THE
POETRY RUBRIC INCLUDED IN THIS STUDY GUIDE.
THE GARDEN OF LOVE
每
William Blake
I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen:
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.
And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
And Thou shalt not. writ over the door;
So I turn'd to the Garden of Love,
That so many sweet flowers bore,
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tomb-stones where flowers should be:
And Priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys & desires.

Question 1.1:
The poet seems to reflect in this poem, not only how things have changed since his childhood,
but also how something, like religion can change how life is lived.
With reference to the use of imagery, diction and structure, discuss the theme of nostalgia and
the despair in change.
Your response should take the form of a well-constructed essay of 250每300 words.
