Hats are used to represent a person, Different cultural backgrounds wear hats to represent themselves, some people may wear a hat to show something others may wear a hat to hide something, some people wear hats to hide their insecurities and to feel superior. This is the case with Kareem who believes that wearing the religious hat makes him feel strong and close to god. However the wooly hat is worn to shield his innocent side which he tries to conceal from his peers. The Islamic hat on the right portrays Kareem's religious side. The colour of the hat is white which symbolises new life, innocence and purity. The change that Kareem makes after praying is he puts on a black hat after taking off the white one, this juxtaposes the innocent atmosphere that was previously presented. The connotations of the black hat are evil, mischeve and death.
