In what ways and to what purpose have ****two**** of your writers explored the significance of family (or lack thereof)?

Block 1

Both writers used vivid imagery to demonstrate the suffering when one family member was lost.

Human Act: the mother, imagination of stepping into the light; burry of Dong-ho -> trauma, when memory became the only thing the victim could hold on to

I buried you with my own two hands. Removed your PE jacket and your sky-blue tracksuit bottoms, and dressed you in your dark winter uniform, over a white shirt. Tightened your belt just so and put clean gray socks on you. When they put you in a plywood coffin and loaded it up onto the rubbish truck, I said I’d ride at the front to watch over you. I didn’t have a clue where the truck was heading. I was too busy staring back to the rear, to where you were.

Palestine: loss and burial of a son(Ahmed) of a mother p238-241 (uniform panel size, body language) -> trauma, when the oppression was on-going and recurring

the first person perspective vs third-person journalistic perspective vivid moment vs conclusive both trauma unfinishing, normalized in daily life
