While reading Neil Gaiman's, "The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch," it is clear that Miss Finch is an outcast of society. She is socially awkward and she has a sense of almost being rude at times. The people that interact with her dislike her character because she is a know-it-all and very quick to recite facts. When she disappears at the end of the story, people do not overly care or look for her. This could be because of her odd characteristics that ultimately contribute to her being an outcast.

Similar to this, Marjane Satrapi is also an outcast in her story for many reasons. She sets herself apart from other girls her age because she really believes she wants to be a prophet. She is advanced beyond her years, and has a true attitudinal difference then others. Not only this, but she also sets herself apart physically, by wearing a checkered veil at times, and not dressing overly conservatively.
