![]() ![]() I think that this story can be very relatable to young girls and boys of the Middle Eastern culture who are being teased and taunted. If another student is being bullied about their identity this will give them literature to relate to them and make them feel identified with. So to go off of that, she has definitely written this book in blood. She goes around to school talking about the social justice issues that they raise. She even has a PhD in multicultural and racism in Australia, so she is very familiar with the topic. She herself is an Australian-born-Muslim-Palestinian-Egyptian, which is similar to the main character Jamilah. He says he writes to relate to the readers, that he wishes he had had a book like his, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian, when he had been growing up, and that literature can save people.The author herself is from Australia so she has been living in the culture and how people are. After reading the book I looked into the author and if it was written in blood a concept by Sherman Alexie. ![]() I personally enjoyed this book because it took place in a country that is similar to ours but not the mainstream American culture. ![]()
