    War is conflict, and disagreement is destruction. Therefore, one should ask himself or herself the following question: How does literature flourish from death, loss, pain, and suffering?

The first thought my ten-year-old mind had was, ¨ Oh my God!" The second had been, ¨ Why didn't she stand up and run when she had the chance?
