There are many ways authors write their books that can vary from style, experience, setting, and language. One author that I would like to talk about is Walter Dean Myers and the book that I would want to analyze would be Somewhere In the Darkness. This novel speaks about a poor little boy who was adopted at the age of two after his mother died and had to move to Harlem leaving his family behind . He also had a speech impediment and couldn’t speak or write as well as others but that didn't stop him. The book “Somewhere In The Darkness” is about a boy named Jimmy who was adopted by a very kind-hearted lady after his mother had passed away and his father went into prison. In the book his father is finally released and gave a surprise to Jimmy and takes him to Arkansas to settle down but Jimmy does not trust him. Walter Dean Myers usually writes his books from his own experiences which makes them inspirational, thought out, down to earth, and somewhere relatable to the reader!

Throughout the story, the young characters, Maya, El, and Charu are the most affected by this assimilation because they clash with what their elders think is best. El is a particularly interesting character because he is the most affected by the division of the two cultures he was raised in. The audience often sees El confused about the way he feels about his body while at the same time he is suffering from visions that haunt him. Growing up was very tough for El because he faced many obstacles from her parents being murdered because of the war to her complete inability to connect to anyone on a truly deep level. This, along with the diverse cultural roles in his life, has left his in many predicaments where she struggles with who he is. His identity is something that he longs for but has yet to find. A major aspect of his identity of which he struggles greatly with is his sexuality.

In this passage, Aboulela explained how Najwa and Anwar had been making progress with their relationship together. Anwar is deeply embarrassed that he needed to prove “...he was a genuine asylum seeker” (Aboulela, 164).
