Yassmin's Story Character Analysis
‘Yassmins story’, is a novel that contextually demonstrates the power of individuality, and how it can change your life in favourable ways. Yassmin-Abdel-Magied is someone who truly knows what it means to be an individual, as she as always strived to not let herself succumb to societal norms in the way she acts, and present her views on different topics. Conformity is also reflected in Yassmin's life, to an extent however. This is expressed through her adaptations and willingness to respect Australia's way of life. Yassmin essentially shows us the meaning of what it is like to be an individual, but an individual that knows how to adapt to life's endeavours. Yassmin aims to change this mentality, and show us that our cultural background does
