Divine intervention is when the gods do something 'against the rules' to help someone. I'm not sure what book you're talking about but a regular example would be if someone prayed while someone else was banging on the doors and the doors magically turned to stone

Divine intervention refers to instances in which a God interferes in a mortal's life in order to bring him some benefit. The idea of divine intervention carries a connotation of not being allowed according to divine rules.

In <em>The Odyssey</em>, there are many examples of Athena interfering with the characters in order to help them. Athena helps Odysseus during the shipwreck in Book 5 and in the battle of Book 22. She also intervenes by  sending Telemachus to Pylos and Sparta, and by appearing to Penelope in dreams.

Consider Tim O’Brien’s story "Ambush." What differences do you see between how O’Brien dealt with killing an enemy soldier in th
Firlakuza [10]
<span> "Ambush," O’Brien describes killing a man while serving in war. He had no intention of killing him—he reacted without thinking. O’Brien feels guilty about having killed another human being, even though his fellow soldier tries to soothe him with the logic that the man would have been killed eventually anyway. However, trying to justify having killed someone, O’Brien explains that his training as a soldier prompted him to act involuntarily when he lobbed the grenade upon spotting an enemy soldier. Twenty years later, long after the war has ended, O’Brien is unable to admit to his daughter, Kathleen, that he has killed another person. He feels guilt and denial about having killed a man, and experiences recurrent flashbacks and visions. Through his story, O’Brien conveys that a soldier is a changed person after he has witnessed such a war, and those who have not been in a war cannot begin to understand the emotional turmoil that soldiers go through.</span>
