The next major role in Persepolis would be Marjane’s friends.

‘Two years ago Stuart was living out of skips’ so this creates the image that his appearance won’t be socially acceptable, due to his inability to shower, shave and clean up properly. There was also another encounter that Masters was able to recall, and this was when he met Stuart for the first time when he was pressed in a doorway of a busy street. He was described by Masters to have ‘Pasty skin, green bomber jacket, broken gym shoes’ and was also said to have ‘several teeth missing’. This shows that Stuart was living the worst possible lifestyle as he was at the bottom of the homeless people and had little hope of gaining any social status in society due to his appearance, something which he was unable to improve due not having a stable income and anywhere to clean up. Furthermore as Stuart is said to have several teeth missing, this indicates to the reader that maybe he has been in some trouble in the past with people and the way that they have chosen to deal with the situation is to use their fists.
He states that the worst thing about being poor isn’t because of not having enough food but not having enough money to support him in difficult times.

The inner dialog Nick lends to the story is an important key to keeping the story honest, lending important insight into Gatsby’s history and easing the process for better understanding the characters in the book, however this element was lost with the films. In the Book, “The Great Gatsby” Nick Carraway’s inner dialog strings together the feelings and actions of the people around him. This helps to add depth to the story and aids the reader in better comprehending the complex behaviors and relationships of the surrounding characters from the perspective of a neutral and truthful observer. The main insights specified in the book are given no mention in the 1974 or 2013 movies. The audience never actually acquires the sense that they are in Nick’s mind making it difficult for the viewer to understand the intricacy of Daisy and Gatsby’s connection had the book not been read by the viewer beforehand.
She had no confidence in her mother growing up, and saw her as a “limit” and an “embarrassment”. Later in Tan’s life, she found several surveys which led her to realize that she was not alone; there were other Asian-Americans who may have shared the same struggles as her.

Although Junior is faced with many obstacles and not many people believe in him, Alexie reminds the reader that in spite of struggle within poverty and loss through Junior’s experience, one can achieve greatness and find the true meaning of hope within their souls. From the beginning of the novel Alexie has used Juniors poverty to show the effects it has caused, in both a good and bad way. We are introduced to Juniors poverty when he states, “And sure, sometimes, my family misses a meal, and sleep is the only thing we have for dinner, but I know that, sooner or later, my parents will come bursting through the door with a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken”(8). Many Native American are known for being poor, Junior is one of them.

This novel used many literary devices that contributed to the conflict; three of those literary devices being situational irony, foreshadowing, and diction. One of the literary devices presented in the novel is situational irony. Isabel brought up the fact that her best friend, Taylor, had been “begging her to bring her to Cousins forever and that she hated that they did not share everything—every moment and every experience (Han, 67).” This is an example of situational irony because although Taylor states that she wanted to “share every moment” (with who? ), she ended up forgetting the reason why she came to Cousins Beach. (It was) to be with Isabel, not Conrad, Jeremiah, or Steven.
(page 1 to 98) “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian”, I have a better understanding on the name of the book even I am on the halfway through the book. Part-time: half white, half Indian. That sounds weird, but that described Junior’s complex feeling. If you ever moved to a new country or a new city, or transferred schools, changed jobs, then you might understand how Junior felt in the book. This book covers a lot of issues: poverty, social justice, racism, cultural shock, self-awareness, hope, isolation, friendship etc.
In Syria the people are rebelling because the government is not taking care of them and they're not providing them with resources they need. Mercy Corps states that “The youngest are confused and scared by their experiences, lacking the sense of safety and home they need. The older children are forced to grow up too fast, finding work and taking care of their family in desperate circumstances.” The second reason why their almost identical is that in the novel that George Orwell wrote, the animals on Animal Farm were treated differently which is a commandment that’s not being upheld, therefore the animals start to rebel. Even though one of the commandments is that all animals are treated equal, the animals were treated by their social status, which isn’t fair. In this world you should treat everyone with the same respect.
