How are the characters in "Racitatif" and "Traplines" judged by others?
The text explores the interconnectedness of two stories, highlighting their shared and unique elements. Both narratives revolve around characters who face judgment and bullying, which significantly impacts their lives.
This shows how both stories are connected in some way. It's tricky to think about and find the similarities but it's but it's kind of a fun thing to do. This shows how they've been picked on, how it affected them , and how they somehow connect. But this shows in a way that they are different each in their own way and how that makes people judge them.
These are similar in a way that a big group picks on both of them. They end up being looked at as weak or not so big compared to the others. This would make them look bad and possibly give them a negative experience.
The mean girls don't like anyone outside of their little group and they really like to pick on the bow legged girl. They would also pick on other kids. That means they would end up picking on Roberta or Twyla whenever which would make them look bad and weak to the others.
Eric doesn't like his youngest brother will very much. He can pretty much get his friends to think about will how he does, so this causes them to also think about Will poorly, which is making more problems for Will. But now that Erics friends don't like Will people would begin to think that Will has done something to all of then and is a bad kid.
These are similarities in both of these. Those being how they are both scared of one person. Second, showing they want to leave because of this person. Third, People could be thinking they are cowardly or possibly wimps.
Eric is Wills older brother. He is the main bully for will which causes will lots of problems. Those being him running away all the time, hiding, and even avoiding Eric and all of his friends. After all of that bullying Will is offered with leaving and going to the west. This would show that Will is scared of Eric and people would judge him on that. Maybe even thinking he is a wimp.
The Bozo to me would be the girls biggest bully by the way she would taunt them and sort of rub in how they are at the orphanage. Of course the girls didn't like the bozo all that much and wanted to get away from her. This could also show that people judge them as if they are scared of the Bozo and maybe think of them as cowards.
Similarities
They are both similar because they have parents who aren't fit for parenting. Their parents do care about though. This also makes people judge in a way that's sort of similar. It makes people look at them differently and think about them differently.
The two girls, Twyla and Roberta, were judged in the orphanage because they were some of the only kids who didn't have dead parents. They just had bad parents.
Wills dad and mom aren't dead but they don't really treat him right, most likely due to the parents never being sober. They do care for him, but this makes people judge him. Like his teacher who took him in and wanted Will to stay at the house.
The Characters are judged by others because they are different from others in their own ways.
