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.
