  1. Blood Brothers Chapter 7-9 Discussion

  2. How is Chacour’s message similar to our speaker yesterday? How is he different? Whom do you trust more? Why?

  3. In the reading, Elias cites three borders to peace: religion, politicians, and the military. Which of these seems like the biggest hurdle to you? Why?

  4. How is Elias’ time in Paris both alienating and enriching?

  5. 2010. Palestinian American literary theorist and cultural critic Edward Said has written that “Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted.” Yet Said has also said that exile can become “a potent, even enriching” experience. Select a novel, play, or epic in which a character experiences such a rift and becomes cut off from “home,” whether that home is the character’s birthplace, family, homeland, or other special place. Then write an essay in which you analyze how the character’s experience with exile is both alienating and enriching, and how this experience illuminates the meaning of the work as a whole. Do not merely summarize the plot.
