Dragan: “Why did the Sarajevan cross the road?” he asks Emina. She shakes her head, takes her hands out of her pockets and brushes the hair out of her face. “That’s a good question” Dragan then replies “To get to the other side,” He answers.
When I first read this I laughed because it incorporated a juvenile, classic joke into Dragans character which showed me he had a sense of humor behind all of the chaos that is taking place. I also found the joke to be a little bit morbid because in the novel when people cross roads, they are referring to the bridges people cross to get to safety and a lot of the time people do not make it because of snipers on the hill.
