Read the excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah. The Religious/Scriptures/Sacred stuff: I believe in
Allah/God’s commandments contained in the Koran. God says men and women should act and dress modestly. The way I see it, I’d rather follow God’s fashion dictates than some ugly fake-tanned old fart in Milan who’s getting by on a pretty self-serving theory of less is more when it comes to female dress. What does the narrator's tone in this passage reveal about her perspective? She does not follow a religious lifestyle. She thinks that fashion is extremely important. She is a dedicated and hard worker. She will not let other people tell her how to dress.
The narrator's tone in the passage reveal the following about her perspective:
She will not let other people tell her how to dress.
She makes it clear that she does not like fashion and its dictates, and would rather dress modestly, which is what God tells people to do in the Koran, than following the "less is more" trend.
The setting of Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" takes place in a small, nondescript town located in rural America on the morning of June 27th.
