Long Answer

1. It would be difficult to understand Trash without the multiple perspectives of different characters. Each character gives information that the reader would otherwise not know. Father Julliard’s mature perspective on the story’s events also gives closure to the novel. (Various chapters)

2. Olivia loves to work with other people. She is shocked by the brutality of what she sees in Behala, but she is inspired by the courage of the boys and the people who live in the harsh conditions. (Various chapters)
