This was the first time I actually got an open invitation to a Moroccan home to taste Moroccan cuisine, home-prepared with lots of love. (who doesn't love some " home cho "? ) . I thought to myself that it was a good opportunity for me to immerse myself in the culture, at the very least reveling in it. It's 11 o'clock in the morning, I'm still in bed half-awake when the call from an unknown number came through. I figured it might be Marwan since I hardly receive phone calls from my number.

CAUSES OF STREETISM IN AMMA DARKO'S
FACELESS
Amma Darko is a famous ghanaian writer who
brings out the follies of society and the plight of
women and children through her novels.Some of
the novels she's written are BEYOND THE
HORIZON,THE HOUSEMAID and FACELESS.Some
causes of streetism in FACELESS by Amma Darko
are examined below.
First of all,Amma Darko highlights the absence
of fathers as a major cause of streetism.In the
case of Fofo and her siblings ,they have no
father to cater for them and show them fatherly
love.Kwei runs away leaving behind his
'wife'(Maa Tsuru ),and her children .Even if he's
poor,he can be there to discipline them and
prevent them from going onto the
streets.Adade,who does not care much or is not
interested in matters related to the house,he's
always there for his children and wife,Kabria.He
gives them all that they need.Due to this,there
is no possibility of them moving onto the
streets.Maa tsuru then brings ina new lover who
becomes a menace to her children.His mere
presence compels the children to go onto the
streets.This is because Kpakpo is very
irresponsible and undisciplined.
