I needed to visualize the actual setting of the novel to understand how the characters were living. They were in the middle of a war so when I think of how they are I imagine a city that is burning, with streets filled with rubble and death. I see the city centre where the market would take place and I imagine the massacre that occurred during the beginning of this novel. I can also imagine how people are living, in the slum neighbour hoods filled with debris and destruction. A family struggling for survival eating what they can to survive and hopefully keeping a roof over their heads. It’s a pretty grue something to picture because it is horrifying that stuff like this can happen to people.
