The destruction of the tribe of Umuofia and the death of the innocent civilians in the Iraq War, are caused by individuals, or a group of people, who impose their will on the hopeless.

The speaker is talking about someone as if they met in an "old ancient inn" (2). He speaks of how they "should have sat" (3) as if he regrets what he might have done in the past; he would have approached the situation differently by drinking "nipperkin" (4). The guilt that shrouds the narrator is apparent as he imagines a life for the man.

The stories that will be discussed use violence in them, but they are not war stories. They are Dante’s Inferno, Decameron, and Don Quixote. In Dante’s Inferno we have torture being used all throughout hell. We get characters that carry their own heads, Popes who are burned, people eating eachother, and many more grotesque acts

hundreds of people into battle are just disposable. When they run out of adults to send into battle they use children. People think that the children are to blame for the killing but is it really there fault?
