He concedes by saying, “I became the prized student […] anxious and eager to learn.

The Odyssey The Odyssey is an epic poem about spiritual journey and how it can bring out the hero in people, and if they are true to themselves, they will always pull through. Odysseus is put through so much struggle and pain, but in the long run it actually ends up helping him become mentally and physically tough by testing his faith in his skills. The King of Ithaca finds himself in many great challenges where he proves to everyone around him, along with himself, that he has found his true identity. Odysseus has always been an honorable and respected man in his small kingdom, and many citizens are starting to see the number of capabilities he has, along with something inside of him that not even Odysseus knows he has.

He tries to show them that learning can be fun when they cooperate with each other. As the students read books and did their homework, they began to recognize the value of school.

Richard’s relatives never understood Richard and because of this he was alienated from his family and his own people. Shorty is the young black boy who gets beat by the white people and jokes about it.
Due to his background teachers regarded him as a hopeless cause because his difficulty in using Received Pronunciation which contrasts against Harrison's attitude towards language and that there is a variety of dialect within the English language which everyone uses to convey a conversation with one another. When Harrison was young he was overawed by his "posh" teacher who embarrassed him resulting in him feeling demeaned and docile. The first section is in the form of a memory emphasised through the embedded dialogue of the teacher showing how he is undermined as the teacher wants to make sure their "glorious heritage" is not "done to death" suggesting that teacher is aiming to undermine Harrison by discouraging him from reading the important roles.

The use of embedded dialogue implies the different view on the Leeds accent emphasised in his mother being disgusted with him and believes he was not "brought up to write such mucky books!"
