The smell isn’t good but that’s nothing compared with the feel of all those serverd nostrils and lips and ears between your fingers”. This graphic image gives us a glance into the teenagers working lives, their arms are “slick” in blood and guts, this is not a job that they enjoy. We see an arrogant side to the narrator on page 4, “To be honest hes not my sort of bloke at all, but somehow he’s my best friend”, he comes across like he feel’s superior to Biggie, as if he owes his friendship to Biggie. The narrator shows us that there is a lot of loyalty between the two boys, on page 6 he states “Biggie’s not the brightest crayon in the box but he’s the most loyal person I know”, this leads us to belive that Biggie is unintelligent, not the most cleverest person. The narrator goes on to say that “I made him look brighter than he was”, this was done out of loyalty, the narrator was trying to help but it actually ended up wih Biggie and himself failing thier exams they “fried”.
He relates to those that were viewed as bad or unwanted from the stories in the bible because that is what he was viewed as. At Crossgates to be a scholarship kid denoted that you could not afford the regular price of tuition and therefore didn’t truly belong to be there. Orwell was a scholarship kid and until he left Crossgates was ridiculed by his peers and treated as though he was a second class citizen. The bad treatment he received not only came from his peers but also the administrators. Orwell says “By the social standards that prevailed about me, I was no good, and could not be any good.”(294 APE) When he was to leave Crossgates the head mistress smiled and said goodbye but he read much more into her words and facial expressions than the obvious sentiment given.
I think his appearance did convey his personality quite well in a way. The author says ‘he looked as if he had been put together all wrong’ which could also be relating to the fact that in his head he was a bit muddled as well. In the first part of the book when he is 14, he was ‘awkward’ and ‘taller than his father’ with ‘his head too large, his ears too sticking out, his lips never quite closing’. This is already giving the impression that he doesn’t quite fit in. He is described as ‘uncoordinated and clumsy’ and he was often teased and beaten because of this.
The British showed discrimination throughout history towards the Irish, for they treated them in an extremely mean manner. The English colonizers thought of them as sluggish people, who were criminals, and formed a two-tiered social structure; in addition they were prevented from purchasing land, bear office and could not marry other colonizers (Takaki 27). Altjough race was not the deciding factor for this discrimination, the English showed they felt superior to another group. The Irish were thought to be savages and this same type of thoughts was then directed toward Indians, for the first English colonizers in the New World found that the Indians reminded them of the Irish (29). However, with the Indians, race played a factor because they were of dark complexion unlike the Irish and the English wondered if they were different kinds of savages.
In Sherman Alexie’s essay “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me,” Alexie describes how the negative expectations affected him and how he overcame them. Alexie says, “They wanted me to stay quiet, when the non- Indian teacher asked for answers, for volunteers, for help. We were Indian children who were expected to be stupid” (Alexie, 17). The negative expectations for Alexie and all other Indians were, to act unintelligent around people who weren’t Indian. Most of the Indians lived up to those expectations.
He is free from the diseases of racism and classism so widespread in those days. Atticus does not judge, that’s the biggest difference between him and the rest of the townspeople. He once said ‘ You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it'. Atticus is the most nonjudgmental person in all of Maycomb. • As a father Atticus can be said to be a great father.

The reader is not provided with enough information on his background to know enough about his former life. We only become aware of whom he really is, later on in the novel when he narrates for himself. When we first meet Heathcliff, our perception of him comes from Nelly’s narration. She admits that at his introduction to the family, she took an immediate disliking to him. This is revealed when she says, “But Hindley hated him, and to say the truth I did the same”.
Indians like Junior can’t always get what they want or what they need. “Our white dentist believed that Indians only felt half as much pain as white people did so they only gave us half of the Novacain “ (Alexie 2). They are treated differently from other people and it is hard for Junior to be treated differently because he has a brain damage and he need a lot of services for his condition. Stereotypes affects Junior in many ways and it makes Junior live harder. Furthermore, when Junior transferred to Reardan , his best friend Rowdy left him.
