Weak points: too general; not enough specific direction for essay
In Faiza Guene’s Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow, the main character Doria gradually moves from being extremely pessimistic to having a much more positive outlook on life.
In the novel, Doria’s attitude towards people changes from negative to positive.
Better: more specific area to develop in Doria’s character
In the novel, Doria initially seems uncaring and cold, but by the end of the book, Doria opens her self up, and not only does her view of herself improve, but also her outlook on life does as well.
Best: clarity and direction
In the novel Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow, Doria changes from a young woman beaten down and limited by the poverty, racism, and oppression of life in “a crappy country they thought would become theirs” to a person who sees herself as part of a powerful social revolution to change the unjust conditions of her community.
