Literature-In-English Paper 2 WASSCE (SC), 2017

Question 1

    Examine the significance of Fofo’s visit to Odarley in the novel.


Observation

A good number of candidates attempted this question. However, rather than examine the significance of Fofo’s visit to Odarley, they gave a character sketch and the role she (Fofo) played in the novel.
The significance of Fofo’s visit to Odarley in the novel is

• The plight of street children is highlighted during this visit.
• It shows the lack of security and protection in the environment they live in.
• It shows the lacks of decent accommodation and squalor the children live in
• It also sheds light on their lack of convenience and prevalent lawlessness and social immorality

Candidates’ performance in this question was bad.
