Literature-In-English Paper 2 WASSCE (PC 2ND), 2019

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.
