Question

Excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This?:

When I was in elementary school, different-colored socks were enough to get you teased. So when you're a non–pork-eating, Eid-celebrating Mossie (as in taunting nickname for Muslim, not mosquito) with an unpronounceable last name and a mother who picks you up from school wearing a hijab and Gucci shades and drives a car with an "Islam means peace" bumper sticker, a quiet existence is impossible. Excerpt from Persepolis: 3 panels from the graphic novel Persepolis. Marjane feels ashamed to sit in her father's Cadillac because of the difference she feels between the social classes. This difference is also the reason for the revolution.

What different perspectives do the narrators’ tones reveal?

Amal stands out as different, but Marjane does not.
Amal is not ashamed of her wealth, but Marjane is.
Amal cares about appearances, but Marjane does not.
Amal is not facing a conflict, but Marjane is.

Answer 1

The answer is B: Amal is not ashamed of her wealth, but Marjane is.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct asnwer is Amal is not ashamed of her wealth, but Marjane is.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Does my head look big in this?" is a book written by Randa Abdel-Fattas and it is about the conflict of Amal Mohamed Nasrullah Abdel-Hakim and her own identity as Muslim and Aussie. "Persepolis" is a graphic novel written and drawn by Marjane Satrapi, who narrates different stages of her life, from the Islamic Revolution in Teheran to her adulthood in Europe and the difficult transtion.

In both excerpts we can see how the characters notice their differences, Amal describes several ways she's been marked and Marjane knows her family is wealthy. It also seems both of them care about appearences in one way or another (the clothes, the Cadillac), and both are facing and identity conflict (from religion to economics), making letter B correct, since we can see in the excertp that Marjane is ashamed of her father's car, since ir is a sign of why people were unhappy; on the other hand, Amal mentions things like the Gucci shades as if they were nothing since her conflict is different.
