Literature-In-English Paper 2 WASSCE (SC), 2017

Question 2

    Consider Baby ‘T’ as a victim of social injustice.

Observation

This was a popular question. Many of the candidates were able to show Baby T as a victim of social injustice.

The following points should be well developed by candidates:

• Baby T’s background; she is born into poverty and from a broken home.
• Gross irresponsibility of her parents to cater for her and her siblings.
• Her mother’s belief in superstition as he believes that she (Maa Tsuru) is cursed.
• Exploitation of Baby T in the hands of Nii Kpakpo, Mama Abidjan, Mama Broni, Poison and Onko which eventually leads to her death.

Candidates’ performance in this question was fair.
