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

Question 2

AMMA DARKO: Faceless

 

Assess Fofo as a premature child in the novel.



Observation

 

 

This was a popular question among candidates. Candidates were able to describe Fofo’s background, how she became a street child and her encounter with Kabria. However, they did not seem to mention her ‘mature ways’ to cope on the streets.


The following points were expected from the candidates:

  • • Identification of Fofo and establishing her as a central character in the novel.
  • • Fofo’s background.
  • • Her vulnerability as a street child.
  • • Her mature ways to cope on the street.
  • • Her attitude to her mother.
  • • The effect of street life on her.

 

Candidates’ performance was fair.
