My Autobiography I am a human on planet earth, along with the other seven billion people. But I’m not like the seven billion people. Yes, we have similarities but I am me. I am myself.

But I’m here to tell you mine. I, MariElena Harmoni Pena, was born in Longmont Colorado on July 10th, 2002, In the Longmont…

“Home is where children find safety and security, where we find our identities, where citizenship starts. It usually starts with believing you're part of a community, and that is essential to having a stable home” (Matthew Desmond) In Michael Ondaatje’s Anil’s Ghost the plot revolves mainly around Anil’s relationship to her original home, Sri Lanka. Anil’s relationship to Sri Lanka, her original home, greatly influences the plot of Ondaatje’s novel. When Anil firs returns to her original home…

“the boys in archeology” found and “perhaps [Anil] can prove [them] wrong”(Ondaatje 275). His tone is “like a taunt” during this outburst, thus resulting in Anil feeling insignificant and that her work is a joke to Sarath(Ondaatje 275).
