Long Answer
1. Miguel appears to relate to The Color Purple because the main character, like Miguel, writes journal entries. Their Eyes Were Watching God, a story about a woman from a marginalized background who overcomes adversity, has parallels with Miguel’s life. Rondell is strong, is characterized as unintelligent, and occasionally flies into a blind rage. On their journey, he and Miguel are similar to the characters in the plot of the book Of Mice and Men. The Catcher in the Rye reflects Miguel’s aimless wandering and journey toward self-discovery. The Stranger reflects Miguel’s viewpoint on the pointlessness of existence and the social isolation Miguel feels after his brother’s death. (Various pages)
2. Miguel has a bad attitude about being in the juvenile facility and immediately distances himself by calling the other residents names. Mong decides to fight Miguel because of the name-calling.
