Summary
Analysis
Michel gives a long speech about how compared to France, there’s more opportunity to advance in Britain, as least if you work hard. Leah isn’t really listening to him.
Michel’s speech echoes the sentiment of the magazine article about being your own dictionary. Still, Leah likes this advice less when it comes from him, and perhaps her encounter with Shar has caused her to begin doubting this kind of logic.
