Homework:
Social aggression is defined as actions and behaviors directed at damaging another’s self-esteem, social status, or both. Many of the characters in OMAM are oppressed by society or other people and long for companionship. Yet, they tend to put down others to make themselves feel better.
Find two examples of social aggression in OMAM. Identify the social aggressor and his/her weakness or vulnerability. Identify the victim, his/her weakness, what happened and how it affected the victim. Your response should be 2-3 sentences each.
