Life in Sodom and Gomorrah centers at the Kakria's life with her family. A mother of three lovely children Obiora, Essie and Ottu. She lived In a decent neighborhood in Accra. Thus she ran into Fofo at the Agbloghoshie market while shopping for vegetables. Thus 14 years Fofo is a street child living in a part of Accra named "Sodom and Gomorrah" a place that is not good for anybody talk more of children. The fictional land of Sodom and Gomorrah is filled with abandoned boys and girls by their parents. This these street children are busy watching adult funks and drinking alcohol among them. There is no sex disparity in that they sleep together naked and under the influence of alcohol.
Fofo spends his Saturday night across the road with her friends but she finds herself smiling in the dream thus in that dream space, she saw herself living in a roof. In the same roof, she was sheltered when rain begins to fall, it is because of these experiences in the dream that Fofo was smiling while sleeping. This her dream is far removed from the realities of the life they live in Sodom and Gomorrah where they have no shelter. As it has been usual with children they defecate where ever they see not minding intruding eyes of people.
Thus Fofo is still dreaming when one of the street lords "poison" tries to rape her in her shack. There is also the experience of bullying everybody by another street lord called Macho.
Author Amma Parko seems to have lived in Accra and near the market place where the crime happened thus she evokes the vicious cycles of poverty and violence that drives children to street and women to prostitution. Thus life in Sodom and Gomorrah as it relates to "Amma Parko faceless " can be best describes as a land filled with immorality and lawlessness. It can be described as a state of nature where life is short, nasty and brutish.

(i) Use of Irony: There is the use of situational irony in some of the episodes in the novel. Bigger has always seen very white person as his enemy. Every white person is a symbol of oppression to him. In meeting Mary Dalton, Providence bring a white friend his way. Mary is friendly towards Bigger as soon as she meets him. Unfortunately, his hatred for whites is what he is ready to give in return.The same feelings play out between him and Jan, another white person.
It is also ironical that Jan, whom Bigger tried to blame his murder of marry on,would later steps o free same Bigger of culpability in the crime .
Another ironic situation is noticed with respect to Bigger's Freedom. While restricting to a cell in prison ,he feels free whereas outside he feels constrained. similarly, before committing murder ,he often feels as if he is not living ,as if he is just a zombie being pushed around by others.However, with the murder of Mary and later ,Bessie ,he feels alive for the first time.He feels he had done something .His life is now meaningful. With this killing of Mary,He feels that he has "shed an invisible burden he had long carried".

(ii) Use of Symbolism: From Richard Wright's How Bigger war Born ,his introduction to the novel,it is easy to infer that some of the character in the narrative are used with symbolic intention. As far as this intention is concerned,the protagonist's symbolic use is clear. According to the novelist ,the birth of Bigger goes back to his childhood" and there was not just one Bigger,but many of them,more than I could count and more than you could suspects ".All these many Bigger are fused into the Bigger Thomas of Native son. In other words,Bigger Thomas us a symbolic representative of the different attitude, beliefs and reactions of blacks to the oppressive environment in which they find themselves.
Another important use of symbolism in the novel can be seen in the case of the insane an brought into Bigger 's cell at the cook county jail. This supposedly insane an is put in jail because he has written a book to expose why blacks are treated badly n the country. By bringing the insane man into Bigger's cell to give expression to these shared views ,the novelist demonstrates that any black man who is sane enough to challenge the white world is considered mad by the white world .Thus, the " insane man"becomes symbolic of Bigger's insanity.
