Literature-In-English Paper 2 WASSCE (SC), 2018

Question 2

    Comment on the significance of Sodom and Gomorrah in the novel.

Observation

This was a popular question although many candidates were unable to comment on the symbolic significance of Sodom and Gomorrah.

The following points should be well developed by candidates:

 

i. The Bibilical allusion and environment of Sodom and Gomorrah.
ii. Life in Sodom and Gomorrah.
Exploitation of children in Sodom and Gomorrah.
iii. The fate of the children in Sodom and Gomorrah.
iv. The indifference of the police to crime in Sodom and Gomorrah.
v. Government/official neglect.

 

Candidates’ performance in this question was fair.
