Once again we see the idea of an outcast within society portrayed in the two stories that we read this week. One which was "The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch" by Neil Gaiman in which the main character is misunderstood and alienated. Miss Finch, who is characterized as somewhat of a "know-it-all" scientist is not well liked by those who surround her simply because of the way shes acts. Her lack of communication skills and and arrogance cause many to keep their distance.
The other story was "The Complete Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi. In this the main character Marji, is a native of Iran and we view her life as she goes through different tribulations in this country. However for a child, she behaves very maturely and handles her situations in an adult manner. Despite this she still feels alone and misunderstood which in my eyes classifies her as somewhat of an outcast.
