He is not treated like a human being because of his disability. "They stand in the doorway for a moment, exchange glances. And I know, someone made them come. And neither of them wants to be alone with me. The cripple. The sick. The dying."  Pg. 6

2) The person being oppressed in my book is a teenage boy (Sora) and the oppressors are his peers. 
3) The oppression portrayed in my book relates to oppression I experience in my life (secondhand) because of my little brother. He is a ten year old boy who is on the autism spectrum, however he is not oppressed by his peers very often. He is only oppressed when he needs to be taken out of class to go to a special learning classroom where he is given a
one-on-one lesson.  ]]> 2016-11-16 18:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/spotter9/bagx8umeeanc/wish/138201386 The last leaves falling tascoggins https://padlet.com/spotter9/bagx8umeeanc/wish/138800800 1. People are discriminating Sora because he's in a wheelchair and they think he can't do anything. "I can feel there eyes on me. A hundred too-obvious glances all at once; 'oh poor kid, poor mother.' Looks and the 'i was here first' stares.
2. Oppression in the novel looks weak, and helpless. Sora is the one oppressed and society as whole are the oppressors.
3. In day to day life, because I'm a female people expect us to be weak and helpless and that they do everything for us. But in this day in age we aren't weak, and don't need help unless we ask for it.]]> 2016-11-18 18:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/spotter9/bagx8umeeanc/wish/138800800 The Last Leaves Falling (Ava Morris) https://padlet.com/spotter9/bagx8umeeanc/wish/139186223 1) I think the type of oppression the main character faces in my book is Marginalization.

2) The oppressed person in my novel is weak and helpless, the oppressors in my novel are healthy and look down on the oppressed because they don't know what it feels like to know that you are going to die.
