In War, There is no Winner

            It is hard to choose which character to sympathize with more, Kate or Naema. Obviously, Naema’s story is incredibly tragic. She has to live with the violence moving in on her life and taking away her family and friends and loved ones. She just wants peace, and for the suffering of her people and country to end but she can do nothing but wait for answers that will never come. Kate on the other hand joined the army to be brave and heroic and fight for her country, but she is being constantly degraded and criticized and mistreated. Not only that, but she can be of no real use if she is given no information and is forced to perform unimportant but dangerous tasks. Telling the story on both sides really shows that in war, there is no winner.
