Question

read the excerpts from does my head look big in this? and persepolis. excerpt from does my head look big in this?: at hidaya the hijab was part of the uniform. but i used to take it off as soon as i stepped outside the school gates because man oh man do you need guts to get on public transportation with it on. at the end of the school day the trains would be absolutely packed with schoolkids, i could keep wearing it if i hopped on with a group of hidaya students because i wouldnt feel so exposed. but the problem was that i had to change trains to get home and there was no way i had the courage to go the distance alone with it on. excerpt from persepolis: image of comic panels what do the tone and perspective of these excerpts reveal about the narrators’ attitudes toward being different? select three options. ☐ being different from everyone around you can be hard. ☐ being different from everyone around you is a fact of life. ☐ being different from everyone around you is fun and exciting. ☐ being different from everyone around you is everyone’s goal. ☐ being different from everyone around you can cause separation.

Explanation:

1. For "Being different from everyone around you can be hard": In the "Does My Head Look Big in This?" excerpt, the narrator struggles with wearing the hijab on public transport alone, showing it's hard to be different (needing "guts" and lacking "courage" to do so alone).
2. For "Being different from everyone around you is a fact of life": The idea that differences exist (like the narrator’s hijab situation, and in Persepolis’ context of different school/ social settings) supports this as an accepted reality.
3. For "Being different from everyone around you can cause separation": The narrator in the first excerpt feels exposed alone with the hijab, and the Persepolis excerpt (about different school settings) implies separation due to differences. The other options ("fun and exciting" is contradicted by the struggle, "everyone’s goal" has no support).

Answer:

A. Being different from everyone around you can be hard
B. Being different from everyone around you is a fact of life
E. Being different from everyone around you can cause separation
