Trial PMR 2011 Paper 2 Section C (Terengganu)

Section C : Novel

Based on the novel above, write on events that highlight the determination of a character. Provide evidence fromthe text to support your answer.

Sample answer :
I choose the novel The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hawkins.( Choice of a novel)
This novel is about an Englishman that willing to impersonate the king of Ruritania to save the King's throne. (General Statement of the novel)
In this novel,I take Rudolf Rassendyll as a character that highlights the determination. (General Issue)
The prove is when he is very determine to impersonates the King Rudolf the Fifth(Event 1). Although he knows that he will be killed if anyone knows he was a false king. He is doing all this to save the throne from an evil Duke Michael, Rudolf The Fifth's brother(Prove from the novel). I think as a student, we have to be determine in all of our actions such as determine to achieve ambitions and to help those in need like Rudolf Rassendyll.(Opinion about the event 1)

Then, he determine to put his honour before love(Event 2). Events that shows determination is when Princess Flavia fallen in love with him. So do Rudolf Rassendyll. But they can't be together because Princess Flavia is the real king's fiancee. At the same time, Princess Flavia had to sacrifices her love to save the kindom. (Prove from novel) .This is the right decision by Rudolf Rassendyll I suppose. If they were meant together, the can but when it comes to honour, honour comes first(Opinion for event 2). I think Rudolf Rassendyll determination is suitable examplary behaviour for us. As a student, his determination is a good example for us in our study.(Closure)
