Encountering Conflict: Every Man In This Village Is A Liar

[dandelion]

Anyone have any ideas about the different conflicts in the novel and how'd you incorporate them into an essay?

i hate this book so much. Anyway, a key idea in this book is how stack is a witness/bystander. Shows how conflict can have such an affect on bystanders. There's heaps but can't really answer your question, it depends on the prompt as to what ideas you'd pick out.

the practice prompt i am working on now is "It is the victims in conflict that show us what is truly important"?? What ideas/events from the book could i use for this prompt? I know i hate the book as well haha!

Just finished my sac on this!
Basically what I did with the book was I picked out key characters which i liked and i felt comfortable talking about.

First one is Safar Hussein, the living martyr, he was taken to a firing squad but survived and then came back to testify against Saddam Hussein, but was assainated before he got to trial. I think this character portrays how an individual can stand up for their beliefs even when there are potential consequences and risks if they believe passinately, a conflict arising doesnt change their priorities.
 
Second was Ahmed, the man who Megan Stack endangered the life of, just because she wanted a good story. I think he shows how even though Stack sometimes makes bad choices when faced with conflict. (There will be consequences chapter.)

Third was the 22-year old soldier who knew nothing but how to shoot a gun or something, shows the vicitims of confocit and the corruption of society, and how they have accepted the inevitability if cinflcit and dont seek anything more.

Theres a couple of others, like Zaman (warlord, shows possibly how conflict corrutped him, but in his perspective, it made him more powerful-growth) and Raheem, (even though Americans killed his son, he still wanted to go live in america, didnt hold a grudge)

I incorporated the example explicitly, cause i wrote an expository essay which makes it easier to use examples from the text.

Hope i helped, and sorry about any typos.

Hey guys, my school has just started Context.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I should structure my notes for this text?

This is a hard book to understand. There is an element of knowing the "truth" in the violent conflict, but I don't know which passages I should focus on with this. I can't understand what the main themes are in this book. Well yeah thanks for the help.

heyy
I've just received a practice prompt relating to conflict and it is "We find out who we are from the conflict we face."
I'm finding it really hard to think of some good ideas.
Any help in any form will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
