Amal talks about how authority figures do not see him, and instead they are “shaping me into the monster they want me to be.” Where does their image of him come from, and why are they unable to see him?

I need context to actually respond.  All you guys like to ask questions from a textbook without providing the material to go along with it and expect us to know the answers that are self-evident in the assigned reading.

You will need to provide an excerpt from the text containing the information that this is looking for. Otherwise, nobody is able to help.

Based on the context you have provided, it seems like Amal is feeling misunderstood and misrepresented by authority figures. It's possible that the image they have of him comes from biases or stereotypes that they hold, rather than from his actual behavior or personality. This could be due to factors like his race, ethnicity, gender, or socioeconomic status. It's also possible that the authority figures are more focused on their own agenda or goals, and are not taking the time to truly get to know Amal as an individual. Whatever the reason, it's clear that Amal is feeling frustrated and powerless in the face of this dynamic.
