Post about how the author of a YA novel uses juxtaposition in the experience of the character to generate critical moments in the character's activity and consciousness.
Our main character Kamara is a 16 year old girl from Pakistan and a Muslim. Her faith and culture come up through out this graphic novel. Even though she was born and raised in NJ she still has to abide with their traditions and strict practices. As a 16 year old who sees her peers and interacts with them up to a point, she wishes she could have more freedom to explore and to have fun. The author throughout the story shows how desperately Kamara wants to experience some normal teenage events like a party. Even though she knows not to drink alcohol and eat bacon, she still wants to feel like she belongs. Kamara realizes that even though she sneaks out to go to this party these so called friends still make fun of her..her family, her clothing etc...Becoming a super hero in the process she realizes that when it comes to her identity even though she has the power to disguise herself as anyone else, at the end she wants to be Kamara...She likes who she is and who she represents, a 16 year old teenage Muslim Pakistani girl with brown skin who can kick butt and help her community out.
