2 things that Cedric struggled with in Ballou high was that

• He had to go through his education being bullied.
• He didn’t fit in with any of the crowds so that ment he didnt have any friends.

The way that some of the struggles that Cedric has in Ballou high compare whith the struggles at MIT is that in both of the school’s  he is struggling.

Comparing words are used to link sentence.

First one uses a race to say that he is behind on work whereas the second quote shows how being a minority means trying even harder than normal.

Suskind uses the metaphor of a race to suggests that Cedric is behind work because in a race you have to try your hardest to catch up with the pack however he uses the metaphor of extra baggage to suggest that just because of his race he had to try harder.

1. the misfit killed the grandmother
2. The misfit had escaped from prison
3. All of the family died

What I think makes a good character is someone whonis interesting and mysterious and brings the story together.

Background story Put in prison and he doesn’t know why.

Unpredictable, interesting personality trait. The writer allows him to be a criminal.

Knowing more about the misfit helps is the relate with him

His actions make him unpredictable

What makes the misfits speech interesting is that he uses manners and if he was a escaped convicted he wouldn’t be speaking with manners.

Flannery O’Conner makes and interesting character out of the misfit by giving him a interesting background we can tell this by when he he explains how he is a fugitive, also another thing that makes his background interesting is that children make him nervous and how his presents were as people. Another thing that makes the misfit a interesting character is that he is unpredictable. We can tell that he is unpredictable by the way he acts because we dont know what he is going to do an example of this is when the grandmother touches him on the shoulder and he jumps back and shoots her, also he starts to draw on the ground with his gun which would be really unsettling for the people around him.

‘get in, get out. don’t linger. Go on’

I think that he ment get into the story get out of the story so it quickly and then keep on reading.

this makes me want to read on because I want to know more about him and why he classes him self as not a bad guy.

We find out that Nilda is the narrators brothers girlfriend.

this tells us that one of the brothers didn’t do something in the past and he didn’t do it because of his brother.
