11. The Israeli Palestinian Conflict and Habibi Omer- Jewish boy + Liyana’s friend Omer & Liyana’s friendship - problem because they are different religions that oppose each other Liyana finds this relationship uncomfortable, but Omer doesn’t Omer says: ““Ha! Would I suggest we get together- if it bothered me? The question is – does it bother you?”” Liyana asks her father if he ever had Jewish friends to check if Jewish friends are OK. Liyana worried that other Palestinians will not like her if she is friends with a Jew Later, Sitti’s house is damaged greatly by Jewish soldiers Also, Liyana’s father, Poppy, had been arrested by the Jewish soldiers for trying to stop what they were doing Khaled was shot in the leg by the Jewish Soldiers After these incidents, Liyana feels more guilty being friends with Omer Still Liyana didn’t stop meeting Omer Poppy doesn’t feel comfortable with Omer being Jew So Omer come and talk to Poppy, Sitti Realize shouldn’t hate one person because hate whole group Realize Individuals are different Michelle Lee

12. Habibi- Expedition • Sitti Omer • Omer+ Liyana doesn’t care about religion • Omer+ Liyana’s family= different religion • Omer friendly-> Liyana's family • Liyana's family invites= Omer, Khaled, Nadine -> West Bank • Identity- Palestinian , Jewish • Palestinians, Jewish can't love each other • Sitti likes Omer a lot- • Sitti< Omer reminds her-> Shepard she liked • Liyana+ Omer-diff. identity. p.255, p.256, p.259, p. 261, p.263

13. Doors - Habibi • Sitti told Omer: he would find “walls” that couldn’t be broken • Sitti told Omer: he would need to “find doors” within “walls” • “’There are hard days coming’…” and “’…hard words are waiting to be spoken…” • Omer would “need to be brave” • Sitti said to Omer they were finding “doors” to “walls” already • “’…harsh words waiting to be spoken…’”: meant there would be “harsh words waiting to be spoken” between the Arabs and Jews • Omer couldn’t break the “walls” that he would find: Omer couldn’t solve the Palestinian conflict by using violence (breaking the “wall”) • Omer would have to “find doors in them [the walls]” instead, she probably meant that he would have to find peaceful ways (in this case, “doors”) to solve the Arab’s and Jew’s conflict(s) • Omer will face “walls” that will not be easy to find “doors” to because it is very hard to find a peaceful way of solving a problem if you’re in a situation like the Arabs and the Jews are in • Very difficult to make peace to come between the Arabs and the Jews • Both the Jews and Arabs want similar things

14. 15. In the chapter “Map”, what does Liyanna mean when she writes “There is no map,” and “Every day is a new map. But it’s just a scrap of it, an inch.” Why does she want a map? What kind of map? To find what? • Liyanna wants a map that says, “Here is the country of the little, where words will fall out of your mouths. Here are roads leading in every direction. Some people will travel many roads while some may not. Some will set up their first homes, while some will stop loving their early words. Nothing will be enough for them. Keep your hearts simple and smooth and you will live long.” • The map was meant to say that the country that it showed was beautiful. Many people had come and stayed, while some came and went. Time goes on, and nobody can stay forever, keep moving and your heart will live long. • Along with time the map will also grow, little by little everyday, but it is still growing. The ever changing world will never stop, even if it moves inch by inch. • Liyanna means that the world is changing, with or without you, and she is adding on to the map too, with everyone else on earth.
