In the narrative <em>"Does My Head Look Big in This?"</em> by Randa Abdel-Fattah, the narrative tone reveals a unique perspective: The narrator’s frustration helps readers understand what it is like to be a teenager.
In the story, the narrator, Amal, who decides to wear the hijab full-time, clearly states how frustrated she feels with society's expectation. Phrases like <em>"I'm </em><em>sick of obsessing</em><em> about my body, what guys are going to think about my cleavage and calves and shoulder-to-hip ratio"</em> and <em>"I am really </em><em>sick of worrying</em><em> what people are going to think if I put on a few pounds or have a pimple." </em>are clear examples of the stress teenager go through in highschool, specially girls (and even more so if they have different traditions from the other girls, like Amal with her hijab.)

Samuel Beckett's one act play "Endgame" tells of an absurd story of a blind protagonist and his power over the other characters who are also helpless in their own ways. This power dynamics among the characters, with the character of Hamm as the most supreme of the four, is evident in his constant need of help from Clov.
Throughout the play, we can see that Hamm depends on his servant Clov for whatever he needed to do. Meanwhile, Clov also have a sense of obligation to his master Hamm who had taken him in when he was alone. This subservient notion is numerously questioned by him but that did not overrun his feeling of obligation to Hamm. Also, the characters of Nagg and Nell shows the dependence of each other for their survival. The couple who re parents to Hamm also had to depend on their son, and Nagg constantly has to "kiss" Nell which seems to him the only thing that keeps him going. All these characters' relationships with one another shows the universal theme of a person depending on each other for their survival.
