Reading Group
This week we had to read to about the middle of the novel. I am again enjoying the book; however, thins are starting to become a bit blurry. We discussed in our group last time that the different cultures and nationalities in the book are confusing, and we often cannot tell them apart. This is only continuing to happen for me. I just do my best to keep reading. I feel like I am am getting the message though, despite my confusion with the different representations in the novel. Having almost read half the work, I do wonder how the piece will end. Is the writer going to finally overcome this grappling idea of a war lasting forever? Even though we know there is not peace yet in the Middle East, is the writer going to find peace with the subject or with the people surrounding him? There's only one way to find out.. keep reading!

I completely understand how easy it is to be confused during this book because of how much he skips from one story to another and how many different groups there are in describes in the book. I am starting to think it is not as important to understand the different religions fighting as much as it is to understand how these people that are just trying to live are being affected by the constant fighting. I like how you question how this book is going to end when we know that there is still fighting in the Middle East because while reading this book I have been asking myself if a country like this could ever have a chance at living peacefully.
