After all bullies usually only pick on people they know they can make feel bad to make themselves feel good. Ishmael didn’t feel good about himself, he hated his name he hated hearing the story of how he was born. Ishmael squirmed every time he heard his mother and father tell the story of how he was born and where he got his name from. At school Ishmael spent most of his time, as he says “making himself as small a target as possible” to avoid the bully Barry Bagsley and all the names he called him. Names like Le Spewer, Fishtail Le Sewer and Manure.
When the Queenie takes out the money “out of the hollow at the center of her nibbled pink top” (Updike, P136) Sammy thinks it is cute but actually, it is a kind of rude to not wear like that in the store. Sammy was on the right track even he does not like it. He did not suppose to do anything when his boss blames the girls. But he falls into a desire---being a hero in front of them. This desire leads him to make a hasty decision without careful considerations---to quit his job.
Also, when Jeremiah is working in the supermarket, throwing the food away goes against his values and for American people that’s normal. The concept of work for Sudanese people is also different form Americans. When Paul is working for the fabric, he works as much as he can and join the parts as fast as he can but his colleagues, tell him to slow down and to work slower. Also, in Sudanese culture, it is very different the concept of family. The roll of the woman is very different and the refugees are very surprised that Carrie is an independent woman that works for its own and doesn’t have a husband because in their culture, the man (also called Chief) is the one who maintain and protect a family.
Her home gave off a horrid smell and the town’s people were not happy that she wasn’t paying taxes. These facts gave rise to many complaints. The people of the town didn’t want to confront Emily at first; therefore they would secretly sprinkle lime to neutralize the smell. Emily could occasionally be noticed sitting in a window behind her jalousies with a bright light shining about her. Soon after her fathers death Emily starts to date a much younger man who is in town to work on the sidewalks.
I am not skinny or glamorous and I don’t know that much about fashion but I’m smart. I learn fast and I work very hard” This quote emphasises Andy’s surplus of inner belonging and self-satisfaction. At first Andy believes that she will get accepted by her work ethic and diligence rather than her appearance but through constant humiliation from her workplace she is forced to change her attitudes and behaviours towards her appearance. Her colleagues do not make any effort to adumbrate their distaste in Andy’s appearance. “Do you have some hideous
He goes on to describe them, which is the content of the majority of the story, by saying one is chubby with a berry face, one was tall, and the other was not tall but she was the queen. How could Sammy just assume she is the queen of the group? It is only through his judgment that he declares this certain girl the queen and even names her Queenie. I see Sammy as judging these girls as many others would just as they were violating a norm still did not commit any crime but Lengel’s reaction is more shocking. Lengel is the store manager and he is determined to let the girls know they are in the wrong for not dressing decently.

This reflects they way in which physical disparities can potentially become barriers to belonging.

The writer indicates that they put down him because he is short. Gretel shouts at Bruno because he entered her room without knocking, Bruno knows it is bad manners but he was bored and went running in to find her.

Gretel treats Bruno like he is stupid by the way she talks to him; “How would you know? When you get to my age you’ll understand things a lot better.” When Gretel first peered out of Bruno’s bedroom window and sees the Jews, she questions “who are they?” She stood for a long time staring at the people on the other side of the fence then after a while she finally said “this must be the countryside as they must be farmers” For the remainder of the book she no longer asked about or appears to think about the people again.
The fact that Algernon had been absentmindedly devouring the sandwiches the whole time and continues to after he tells Jack to not eat one helped Wilde make fun of how the people of that society were. Wilde used this to say that they were hypocritical people because when they knew something should not be done, they still did it anyways, yet they still looked down on other people that did it. After Jack is denied a cucumber sandwich, Algernon suggested bread and butter which was meant to be for Gwendelon. As Jack starts to eat it, Algernon remarks “you need not eat as if you were going to eat it all. You behave as if you were married to her already” (Wilde 31).
