Not a word of it could be proved or disproved... It was like a single equation with two unknowns” (74) L(1) George Orwell, the author of 1984, uses figurative language within this quote with a perfectly crafted simile.

Pavlenko and Blackledge (2004) concentrate on five characteristics of identity which I see a valuable source to interpretation and analysis of my data, despite the fact that those researchers were not talking about educational settings. Those characteristics of identity link Poststructuralism and Social Constructionism in productive means. I will shortly discuss them.
