Three Day Road Character Analysis

Rebellion is the Key In today’s world, rebellion is viewed as a negative action, but it’s a part of human nature as well as a crucial part of growing up for teenagers.

His feelings of jealousy and rivalry are what compelled him to make Finny suffer by falling off the branch in the first place. Gene also admits, “There were few relationships amoung us at Devon not based on rivalry,” (pg.156).

It also confirms the idea that rivalry is a prominent feature in many friendships and relationships, not just the one in the novel.

This is Ishmael Beah’s most famous novel. This nonfiction story captures the author 's childhood. This novel was mostly everything I expected from a war story; combat, chaos, and casualties. I would say that some of the scenes described were a little to gruesome. This civil war significantly took a toll on Beah; socially, mentally, and physically.
