From the Paper:

"This novel uses Israel as a focal point of hybridity. This is a nation where many different cultures, languages, and opinions come together. It is essential to the success of this country that all the parts cooperate together to operate as a whole. Ravel does a beautiful job of illustrating this importance through the stories and actions of her characters. The provided history of linguistics and integration of italicized Middle-eastern culture into the text solidify the efforts of Ravel to represent the diversity of Israel. Everyone can be thought of as a ten thousand-faced dice. Upon one roll, one face will be completely exposed to the naked eye, and will be used to reprsent the dice as a whole."
