Question 1
AMMA DARKO: Faceless
How is Poison portrayed in the novel?
Observation
Many candidates attempted this question and performed fairly well. However, they failed to mention Poison’s background of being shy and soft-spoken. They simply went ahead to describe his activities and vices.
Candidates were expected to mention the following points among others:
- • Poison’s background.
- • Poison’s life as a street child.
- • His image of terror.
- • His use of brutality to silence opposition to cover up his crimes.
- • His involvement in the murder of Baby T.
- • His weak side.
Candidates’ performance in this question was fair.
