The neologism "uglystupidfatpoor"(l.25) shows the extent of Carole's insecurities that are mostly about her outer appearance. Moreover, the repetition "I'm done, Mama, I'm done"(l.36) illustrates that Carole gives up easily even thought she likes the studies so it is shown that she isn't self-confident. The other phrase "people walked arround hervor looked through her, or was she imagining ist?"(l.27) portrays that she is very insecure about herself because she is the only black woman at the university.  Therefore she thinks that she is different from the other students because the others look at her that way too.

This excerpt gives attention to the strong relationship Carole has to her mother because even though they don't always have the same opinion, it is quite important for Carole what her mother thinks about her friends.

While they have a strong relationship, it also has to be taken in consideration that the mother of Carole has high expectations in her daughter, which causes much pressure that lasts on Caroles shoulders (cf.ll.65-66).

She visits a university in the UK, where she just arrives at the beginning of the extract, followed by the reader getting informed about the first semester of her and her inner conflict. The reader gets an impression of her, by reading a monologue like text, but written in third person view.

One can conclude from the novel extract, that Carole is a insecure and a person with a huge inner conflict. “they made her feel crushed, worthless and a nobody [...]” (l.17), this climax illustrates how much of a insecure person Carole is, she gets easily influenced by other peoples reactions on her. Based on the experiences the others give/gave her, she feels unsure and unseen. This makes it furthermore difficult for her to adapt to the students and find new friends. Another point for the difficulty of finding new friends, is the fact, that she has high expectations for her friends. Representative for this is the quote “[...] not with the misfits who skulked about the place with scowls on their faces, their hair gelled up into purple Mohicans...” (ll.60-62); “nor was she interested in the boring ordinaries, […] students who were so bland they disappeared, even to her” (ll. 67-68). Additionally there is the inner conflict that Carole seems to have, “[...] although she liked her studies and was managing to stay on top of most of it, she didn´t belong there and wasn´t going back [...]” (ll. 34-35). It can be concluded, that Carole wants back to her mum, because the way the other people treat her makes her feel excluded and out of place and it would be easier for her to go back and live her old live than trying to join the others. Even though she troubles with her self, she decides, to the end of the extract, to go back to university and carry on studying “Carole returned to her college resolved to conquer the place where she would spend the next two and half years of her life [...]” (ll. 57-58).

In conclusion, one can say, that Carole is a round character, which develops throughout the extract. She has mood swings and is not really concerned by any option she weighs up.

Furthermore it comes clear that she feels insecure because she thought people would looked through her and walked around her. She expresses her insecureness by saying: “[…], or was she imagining it?” (l.27). One can see that she feels not in the right place. This causes that Carole would not go back to university, but she was convinced by he mother, so she returned and even managed to find new friends. Carole can also be descriebed, as a introverted person, because she thinks way too much about her and others behavior and her environment ”… that first week she counted on one hand the number of brown-skinned people in her college…” (l.??). Caused by that are her massive insecurity and high expectations.

All in all one can say that this makes Carole a round character. There is definitely a huge development seen. She went from a restrained to a open minded personality and even enjoyed her studies.

Carole is the main character in the novel "Girl, Woman, Other", written by Bernadine Evaristo and published 2nd of May 2019 that deals with Carole and in how far she feels left out and different due to her background of being black and poor. In the novel snippet Carole arrives for her first day of university and does not find any friends and needs to sit alone in the cafeteria.
Carole has an nigerian background from both of her parents but lives in the UK and also goes to university there. Her mom is a cleaner and her dad is dead.
While she is sitting alone in the cafeteria she overhears the conversations of the other white rich students that talk about their holidays and other great experiences that Carole could never imagine. She has always been insecure about her poor life and how her mother can not afford certain things and due to her being left out and being forced to overhear them she feels "[..] crushed, worthless and a nobody." (l. 17)
Her constant insecurity about herself and how she is seen by others let her ask herself if "[...] people walked around her or looked through her ?" (l. 27) She seems to see herself as the victim and feels directly ignored and assumes that nobody could like or wants to talk to her.
Her self-pity is illustrated again as she thinks "nobody talked loudly about growing up in a council flat on a skyscraper estate with a single mother who worked as a cleaner..." (ll. 20) She is feeling ashamed of her background and how it can not give her the things as the white rich students brag about.
After somebody directly discriminates her by assuming she is dealing with drugs only due to her being black, she loses her nerve and calls her mom with "I´m done, Mama, I´m done" (l. 25) One can imagine, that her mom is her trusted person and she can be open about her feelings.

All in all it can be concluded that Carola struggles with her self insecurity and it influences her life immensly - mostly in her interaction with others and especially since she arrived at her new university. Her only mental support is her mother, who can only cope with a small part of her struggles but gives her best to help her.

Furthermore it is hard for her to connect with other students and to integrate herself. She might be an introverted person.

She might also be ashamed about her background and being poor.
After somebody assumes that she is a drug dealer she feels discriminated and upset. Carole is overwhelmed by the situation, but  "(...) she like(s) her studies" (l.34)
Even though she really likes going to university she wants to quit it. That is stressed by her saying " I'm done, Mama, I'm done" (l. 32). It shows that she easily gives up on things she likes.
But after her mother talked to her and made her encourage she started to interact and connected with people. It confirms that she has a good relationship with her mother.

The present text is about a young black girl who has to deal with racism at college. Carol who is the protagonist who just finished Highschool and now heads to college. She belongs to a poor backround due to her mother who is a cleaner. Her first few days at college were very hard. Other students talked about expensive items they own or exclusive places they visited. She feels excluded because she is the only one who is not able to join in those conversations. Furthermore, she only seems to be one of the  very few coloured students at college. She describes herself as "ulglystupidfatpoor"(l.25)  which emphasizes how she recognizes how her sorrounding reacts to her. This quote belongs to her thoughts about the situation. The fact that she creates a neoligsm out of those bad words makes it a bit funny. She is obviously no that much attached by the words. It is rather an expression of disappointment towards her sorrounding. But this also stirs up when she claims that others simply "looked through her"(l.27). At the beginning she was not accepting that and therfore "she studied the inmates to find the best match for her"(l.71). Unfortunately, she had no luck with that. Thats why when she got home and returned in the holidays to her mother, she stated that "I am done, Mama, I am done"(l.?) which makes clear in how far she dislikes college. Moreover, this circumstance gets even more tragic because she really likes the work at college and "her studies"(l.34-35). Her mother does not understand her problemsat all. She seems quite disappointed when she hears which problems hold her back from going back to college. A lot of sacrifices had been made to give her the chance to study. Therefore her mother states "did your father sacrifice his health so that you could become a punky Rasta person who smells?"(l.65-66).
Afterwards she feels motivated because of her mothers words and returns to college. Her problems do not get less but she is able to find a boyfriend and accepts her background way more better.
