Think about the experience of reading “How to Tell a True War Story” what stood out and/or what do you take away from it?

I'm going to assume that this is from Tim O'Brian's "The Things They Carried." The thing that stood out the most for me in this chapter was that some of the most horrible things can't be talked about, because those who don't experience it won't believe that such a horrible thing can happen. I also found it interesting and fairly accurate when they say that happening-truth isn't as true as story-truth. This struck me because it shows that feelings can sometime be shown only by exasperation or imagination. It also shows that feelings are true and not to be put aside when telling a story.

Think about what makes you, you.

What makes me is the stuff i like doing, that no one else can change about me. Its the stuff I actually believe I can do.

What guides your choices without even thinking about it

my goals guide my choices, and I don't think about them because I know I can do it, because I believe in myself.

Step 2: add more detail.

What makes me is the stuff i like doing, that no one else can change about me. Its the stuff I actually believe I can do.

What I think makes me, is how i know the stuff i do is what doesnt change me, it makes me know that This is how i myself, should act.

The things that guide my choices are my goals. I dont overthink about them and wonder if I do bad. Because I know I wont do bad. And because I believe in myself.

Step 3: add it all together

Identify two situations where Rukmani refers to the gods and goddesses throughout the novel. What do these situations reveal abo

Digiron [165]

The central theme of Kamala Markandaya's Nectar in Sieve is the religion. Religion is presented from secular point of view amidst in all the tragic consequences family faces and in all the moral and physical pains they suffer from. Therefore, it is rather paradoxical to find that the religion has been used from positive aspect. The use of theme amidst the tragic events shows author's cynic approach towards religion. For example, when Rukmani visits her mother, the author narrates her thoughts as:

"...and together we would pray and pray before deity, imploring for help until we were giddy. But the Gods have other things to do; they cannot attend to the pleas of every suppliant who dares to raise his cares to heaven..."

Later in the novel, Rukmani describes Gods as not remote, not unheedful because they heard her son Kuti's cries and made her calm. However, it is not the praise of Gods because she later learns that Kuti's improvement was due to Ira's earning from prostitution.
