THE FROG HUNT – SEQUENCING OF EVENTS
Arrange the given events in their proper order to get the summary of the story, “The Frog Hunt.”
_____1______ Long ago, there was a village near a large marsh. For years, the people fell asleep to the spring calls of
the frogs that lived nearby.
_____4______
All of the villagers grabbed their sticks and spears and ran out to kill the frogs, except for one old
grandmother who told the chief that what he commanded is wrong. She also added that the chief must
understand that “Everything is connected”. The chief did not understand what the grandmother said
and got angry with her. That night, the chief slept soundly because there were no frog songs heard.
_____6______ The next morning, the chief called all the villagers and commanded them to kill all the mosquitoes. Some
people half-heartedly obeyed the chief, while others went home and pack their things.
_____3______ The chief thought of ways to get rid of the frogs. He commanded all the people to kill
every frog in land threatening everyone that if they fail, they will be punished.
_____8______ The chief had no one to rule and realized the wisdom behind the old woman’s words, “Everything is
connected.”
_____2______ One night, the village chief woke up from a bad dream. He got up and drank water, when he lay down
again, he couldn’t get back to sleep because of the sounds but of the frogs.
_____5______
A few days later, the people heard another sound as darkness fell on the village. It was the mosquitoes’
sound! The mosquitoes swarmed over the village, biting all of the villagers and keeping them awake.
_____7______ However, there were more mosquitoes the next day, and more in the following days. Not only that the
people were suffering but also the animals. More people packed their things and leave the village. Soon
the village was empty.

African Literature
(Source: https://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/literature-and-the-arts/literature-in-other-modern-languages/misce
world-literature/african-literature)
African literature, literary works of the African continent. African literature consists of a body of work in different lan
and various genres, ranging from oral literature to literature written in colonial languages (French, Portuguese, and E
Oral literature, including stories, dramas, riddles, histories, myths, songs, proverbs, and other expressions, is freque
employed to educate and entertain children. Oral histories, myths, and proverbs additionally serve to remind whole
communities of their ancestors' heroic deeds, their past, and the precedents for their customs and traditions. Essent
literature is a concern for presentation and oratory. Folktale tellers use call-response techniques. A griot (praise sing
accompany a narrative with music.
Some of the first African writings to gain attention in the West were the poignant slave narratives, such as The Intere
Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa, the African (1789), which described vi
horrors of slavery and the slave trade. As Africans became literate in their own languages, they often reacted agains
repression in their writings. Others looked to their own past for subjects. Thomas Mofolo, for example, wrote Chaka
1931), about the famous Zulu military leader, in Susuto.
Since the early 19th cent. writers from western Africa have used newspapers to air their views. Several founded new
that served as vehicles for expressing nascent nationalist feelings. French-speaking Africans in France, led by
Léopold Senghor , were active in the négritude movement from the 1930s, along with Léon Damas and Aimé Césair
French speakers from French Guiana and Martinique. Their poetry not only denounced colonialism, it proudly assert
validity of the cultures that the colonials had tried to crush.
After World War II, as Africans began demanding their independence, more African writers were published. Such wr
in western Africa, WoleSoyinka , Chinua Achebe , Ousmane Sembene , Kofi Awooner, AgostinhoNeto , Tchicaya u
Camera Laye, Mongo Beti, Ben Okri, and Ferdinand Oyono and, in eastern Africa, Ngugi wa Thiong'o , Okot p'Bitek
Jacques Rabémananjara produced poetry, short stories, novels, essays, and plays. All were writing in European lan
and often they shared the same themes: the clash between indigenous and colonial cultures, condemnation of Euro
subjugation, pride in the African past, and hope for the continent's independent future.
In South Africa, the horrors of apartheid have, until the present, dominated the literature. Es'kia Mphahlele ,
Nadine Gordimer , Bessie Head , DennisBrutus , J. M. Coetzee, and Miriam Tlali all reflect in varying degrees in the
the experience of living in a racially segregated society.
Much of contemporary African literature reveals disillusionment and dissent with current events. For example, V. Y.
The weaving of music into the Kenyan's play points out another characteristic of African literature. Many writers inco
other arts into their work and often weave oral conventions into their writing. p'Bitek structured Song of Iowino (1966
Acholi poem Achebe's characters pepper their speech with proverbs in Things Fall Apart (1958). Others, such as Se
novelist Ousmane Sembene, have moved into films to take their message to people who cannot read.
AFRICAN LITERATURE
(Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_literature)
African Literature is literature of or from Africa and includes oral literature (or "orature", in the term
coined by Ugandan scholar Pio Zirimu).[1]
· As George Joseph notes in his chapter on African literature in Understanding Contemporary Africa,
whereas European views of literature often stressed a separation of art and content, African awareness is
inclusive:
"Literature" can be the part of Asian also imply an artistic use of words for the sake of art alone. Traditionally,
Africans do not radically separate art from teaching. Rather than write or sing for beauty in itself, African
writers, taking their cue from oral literature, use beauty to help communicate important truths and information
to society. Indeed, an object is considered beautiful because of the truths it reveals and the communities it
helps to build
Oral Literature
Oral literature (or orature) may be in prose or verse. The prose is often mythological or historical and can
include tales of the trickster character. Storytellers in Africa sometimes use call-and-response techniques to
tell their stories. Poetry, often sung, includes: narrative epic, occupational verse, ritual verse, praise poems of
rulers and other prominent people. Praise singers, bards sometimes known as "griots", tell their stories with
music.[3] Also recited, often sung, are love songs, work songs, children's songs, along
with epigrams, proverbs and riddles. A revised edition of Ruth Finnegan's classic book Oral Literature in
Africa was released by the Cambridge-based Open Book Publishers in September 2012.[4]
Precolonial Literature
Examples of pre-colonial African literature are numerous. Oral literature of west Africa includes the "Epic of
Sundiata" composed in medieval Mali, and the older "Epic of Dinga" from the old Ghana Empire. In Ethiopia,
there is a substantial literature written in Ge'ez going back at least to the fourth century AD; the best-known
work in this tradition is the Kebra Negast, or "Book of Kings." One popular form of traditional African folktale is
the "trickster" story, in which a small animal uses its wits to survive encounters with larger creatures.
Examples of animal tricksters include Anansi, a spider in the folklore of the Ashanti people of Ghana; Ijàpá,
a tortoise in Yoruba folklore of Nigeria; and Sungura, a hare found in central and East African folklore. [5] Other
works in written form are abundant, namely in north Africa, the Sahel regions of west Africa and on the Swahili
coast. From Timbuktu alone, there are an estimated 300,000 or more manuscripts tucked away in various
libraries and private collections,[6] mostly written in Arabic but some in the native languages
(namely Fula and Songhai).[7] Many were written at the famous University of Timbuktu. The material covers a
wide array of topics, including astronomy, poetry, law, history, faith, politics, and philosophy. [8] Swahili
literature similarly, draws inspiration from Islamic teachings but developed under indigenous circumstances.
One of the most renowned and earliest pieces of Swahili literature being Utendi wa Tambuka or "The Story of
Tambuka".
In Islamic times, North Africans such as ibn Khaldun attained great distinction within Arabic literature. Medieval
north Africa boasted universities such as those of Fes and Cairo, with copious amounts of literature to
supplement them.
In the colonial period, Africans exposed to Western languages began to write in those tongues.
In 1911, Joseph Ephraim Casely Hayford (also known as Ekra-Agiman) of the Gold Coast (now Ghana)
published what is probably the first African novel written in English, Ethiopia Unbound: Studies in Race
Emancipation.[9] Although the work moves between fiction and political advocacy, its publication and positive
reviews in the Western press mark a watershed moment in African literature.
During this period, African plays written in English began to emerge. Herbert Isaac Ernest Dhlomo of South
Africa published the first English-language African play, The Girl Who Killed to Save: Nongqawuse the
Liberator in 1935. In 1962, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o of Kenya wrote the first East African drama, The Black Hermit, a
cautionary tale about "tribalism" (discrimination between African tribes).
Among the first pieces of African literature to receive significant worldwide critical acclaim was Things Fall
Apart, by Chinua Achebe. Published in 1958, late in the colonial era, Things Fall Apart analyzed the effect of
colonialism on traditional African society. [10]
African literature in the late colonial period (between the end of World War I and independence) increasingly
showed themes of liberation, independence, and (among Africans in French-controlled territories) négritude.
One of the leaders of the négritude movement, the poet and eventual President of Senegal, Léopold Sédar
Senghor, published in 1948 the first anthology of French-language poetry written by Africans, Anthologie de la
nouvelle poésie nègre et malgache de langue française (Anthology of the New Black and Malagasy Poetry in
the French Language), featuring a preface by the French existentialist writer Jean-Paul Sartre.[11]
For many writers this emphasis was not restricted to their publishing. Many, indeed, suffered deeply and
directly: censured for casting aside his artistic responsibilities in order to participate actively in
warfare, Christopher Okigbo was killed in battle for Biafra against the Nigerian movement of the 1960s' civil
war; Mongane Wally Serote was detained under South Africa's Terrorism Act No 83 of 1967 between 1969
and 1970, and subsequently released without ever having stood trial; in London in 1970, his
countryman Arthur Norje committed suicide; Malawi's Jack Mapanje was incarcerated with neither charge nor
trial because of an off-hand remark at a university pub; and, in 1995, Ken Saro-Wiwa was hanged by the
Nigerian junta.
Ali A. Mazrui and others mention seven conflicts as themes: the clash between Africa's past and present,
between tradition and modernity, between indigenous and foreign, between individualism and community,
between socialism and capitalism, between development and self-reliance and between Africanity and
humanity.[12] Other themes in this period include social problems such as corruption, the economic disparities in
newly independent countries, and the rights and roles of women. Female writers are today far better
represented in published African literature than they were prior to independence.
In 1986, Wole Soyinka became the first post-independence African writer to win the Nobel Prize in literature.
Previously, Algerian-born Albert Camus had been awarded the 1957 prize.
