Response To Daru's El-Ameur

Decent Essays
I also find that Daru refuses to fellow the orders of the authorities in El-Ameur to take the Arab prisoner as Balducci said to him. In this situation, he was anti society. Daru does what he believes, he is right and deals with the prisoner very kindly. I really like his kindness, his respect and his humanly behavior towards the Arab prisone. Also when he give him chance to take his decision either take him as prisoner or set him free. At the end of the story, I felt a little surprise for the Arab's choice and feel sorry about him. I take minutes tried to understand his behavior, why did not he escape?. However l realize that we as Arabs prefer being martyrs and face our enemies. To conclude my log today, I believe that human being can give
