Answer from: Quest

write two paragraphs to compare and contrast the narrators’ schools and explain how their schools shape their perspectives toward the hijab. cite evidence from the text to support your ideas.

copy and paste answer:

two paragraphs to compare and contrast the narrator's schools would be this, the one school with the veil is the one school were the students were forced to wear the veils, and they did not know why they had to wear the veils. the girl student writing the story was not like the other students, she didn't care. in the second school there was a lot of hostile activities going on throughout the school. most of the students were upset and this, including the author, but she was trying to look and the good side of things.

overall, both schools had something that the students or most of the students did not like or appreciate. what you can learn from these stories is that life will never be exactly how you may want it to be. complaining about your lifestyle will only make matters worse or at least feel worse in the long run. that's happens to be the information you can interpret from these two stories.

Read the excerpt from dominique’s personal narrative. tired of waiting for the bus, which was late for the fifth day in a row, i sat leafing through an old magazine i had stuffed in my purse the previous night. it was terribly warm for a september afternoon, and the sun cast fleeting shadows on the bus stop sign with each car that passed. i wondered when the weather would get cooler and when the new bus driver would start arriving on time. it was about then that i first noticed the apparent agitation of the man sitting next to me. finally, the bus arrived and ambled to a gradual stop directly in front of the restless man. the doors widened, and the bus driver greeted the man with his usual banter in his usual monotone. "good afternoon. how are you today? ” when writing the next few lines of dialogue, dominique should be certain that the lines provide clues about what will happen later on in the narrative. contain made-up details that make the story more exciting. include everyday language that seems real and natural. use precise words that make both men sound educated.
