David lowered his eyes and tried to explain the urge of power to impose itself for the sake of imposition. The elixir of unopposed force and the daredevil thrill of impunity.--This passage reminds me of the construction of nationalism:
鈥淭here is no reason or logic. I was twenty years old and they gave me total power over other human beings [鈥 Rage and the impunity I knew I had throbbed in my arms when I was holding the rifle.鈥�
They repulsed attacks and called for a truce, wanting only to live on their land as they always had. For they had endured many masters鈥擱omans, Byzantines, Crusaders, Ottomans, British鈥攁nd nationalism was inconsequential. Attachment to God, land, and family was the core of their being and that is what they defended and sought to keep.鈥n terms of big picture analysis, I still need to rely on my nonfiction approach. As for questions on people engage with political/historical narratives, nonfiction once again may stir more connections with this story鈥�
