DBE/November 2010

NOTE: • • • • • This marking memorandum is intended as a guide for markers. It is by no means prescriptive or exhaustive. Candidates’ responses should be considered on merit. Answers should be assessed holistically and points awarded where applicable in terms of decisions taken at the standardisation meeting. The memorandum will be discussed before the commencement of marking.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MARKERS Marking the comprehension: • • • Incorrect spelling in one-word answers should not be marked wrong, unless the spelling changes the meaning of the word. Incorrect spelling and language errors in longer responses should not be penalised because the focus is on understanding. For open-ended questions, no marks should be awarded for YES/NO or I AGREE/I DISAGREE. The reason/substantiation/motivation is what should be considered. For TRUE/FALSE or FACT/OPINION questions, the mark should be split, i.e. award 1 mark for TRUE/FALSE or FACT/OPINION and a mark for the reason/substantiation/motivation/quotation. The mark for the reason/ substantiation/motivation/quotation should only be awarded if the TRUE/FALSE or FACT/OPINION part of the question is correct. (One cannot award a mark for substantiation or an interpretation (TRUE/FALSE or FACT/OPINION) that was wrong in the first place.) For questions which require quotations from the text, do not penalise candidates for omitting the quotation marks or for an incorrect spelling within the quotation. When one-word answers are required and the candidate gives a whole sentence, mark correct provided that the correct word is underlined/highlighted. When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the first two/three. If a candidate uses

    Havelock Ellis, a British physician and psychologist once said, “Sex lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to reverence life until we know how to understand sex”. Sex is an instinct, and as humans, people’s need for sex is equal to any other instinct such as food and sleep. Sex, as a tool for reproduction, is the basis for life and if it was not for sex, humans or any other creatures would not be able to survive. For that reason, it is significant that people understand sex and its specific roles in life. The opinions about the role and significance of sex in life often contradict and differ from one person to another and from one culture to the other. Many poets and writers have become obsessed with the issue of sex and have tried to convey point of view about sex and provide knowledge and corrections of many sex issues they think are inaccurate uses of sex. Sharon Olds in “Sex without Love” and Ariel Levy in “Women and the Rise of Rauch Culture” present some serious issues that arise from people’s misusage and misunderstandings of sex. Olds’s speaker uses a subtle and convicting tone in order to show her discontentment with the way love has been disregarded, while Levy uses a sarcastic tone by which she asks for people’s common sense in order to show the ridiculousness of the idea that pornography and stripping are forms of women’s liberation. To show how the idea of sex without love has become a norm and that the society believes in the validity of such falsities, Olds uses irony and similes to describe the act of sex without love which is similar to what Levy does when she uses anecdotal evidence and examples to convey how the unusual ideas about womanhood and sexuality became a norm. Both authors show the idea of sacrificing precious values such as love and femininity for cheap prices such as having sex without love or becoming normal in the eyes of others.…
