The main "Illegal" messages are the relationships between privilege, power and race. This can be seen in social relations in relation to race, as the story takes place in a universe where white-skinned people have guaranteed citizenship, have power social and economic, the freedom to act as they please, and all the perks that a system can promote. The black population, on the other hand, does not have this citizenship and is devalued, oppressed, exploited and even deported and killed.

"Illegal" presents the story of a society in a fictional country called the Freedom State. Despite the name, the country lives in a system of constant oppression, where the entire society is subject to governmental control, which determines who is legal within the country and those who are illegal and must be fought.

Answer:

safety

Explanation:

The balcony is a place where Pheoby feels safe. It is on the balcony that she can expose her thoughts without fear of judgment, where she can tell the true story about herself and where she is protected from the prejudiced, misogynistic and invasive society with which she has to live.

The balcony is therefore a powerful place, where Pheoby can be herself, without fear of judgment, disadvantage and reprisals.
