In “The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch”, Miss Finch is shown to be an awkward character that others struggle to relate to. In Persepolis, Marjane is depicted as a curious girl who is abnormally intuitive for her young age. Both of these characters can be considered outcasts, and for similar reasoning: They are misunderstood by those that surround them.
Miss Finch is outcasted due to her peculiar knowledge and interest in science. It can be seen throughout the story that while interacting with Miss Finch, the other characters struggle to relate to, let alone understand her topics of conversation. Similarly, Marjane is outcasted by her abnormal interest in the war in Iran. She stands out among her classmates in that she possesses such a strong understanding of the details and history of the rebellion. Essentially, these characters are different from the outcasts we have previously read about, for they are unique due to their internal mindsets, and not their external appearances.
