In this week's reading of The Facts In The Case Of The Departure Of Miss Finch, Miss Finch seems to be an outcast in the sense that she is socially akward. She corrects the people around her and comes off as if she is much more knowledgable then everyone else. This may be the case but because of her attitude, she could be considered a social outcast. The fact that in the end of the story the group doesn't wait to see where Miss Finch is seems to mean that they really don't care where she ends up. It seemed like they were almost trying to get rid of her the whole time, especially when they call the narrator to accompany them.
Miss Finch is an outcast because of her over the top "matter of fact" attitude. The other characters can't relate her and possibly are not as knowledgable as Miss Finch. Miss Finch seems to be filled with facts that can't relate to what young adults normally have discussions about. This is relatable to Marjane because she is also very smart and takes an interest in what's going on around her. She seems to understand what's going on more then her classmates do. Because of this, others may be intimidated by her intelligence. Marjane had her own set of views and knew what she believed in and wanted for her country. She knows what she wants and this fact can be seen as a turnoff to others around her. This may be why she is viewed as in outcast in society.
