Audiences with different heritages do not take in understanding in the same way. One with personal attachment to the depicted story may be convinced to feel more associated than another. A plethora of literature texts manipulate oppression to construct the climax of the story, whilst some use it to trigger the reader to question along the text.

In the first segment of the novel where the story sets off, the low class and middle class English…
