Essay Every Man in this Village is a Liar- Chapter Summaries

Every Man in this Village is a Liar Prologue In this chapter Stack describes the effects of conflict on the lives of both people who have experienced war and people who have not experienced war. Stack provides an example in the form of her relative, John a former American marine. John was sent to Beirut to combat the Hezbollah and whilst fighting there he experienced the true nature of war. He returned later however â€Å"he wasn’t all right†. He committed suicide due to the effects of war and the conflicts that he experienced. Thus Stack came to the conclusion that after being in a war zone, â€Å"you could survive and not survive, both at the same time†; she realises that you can mentally die from war but physically survive. War places a strain†¦show more content†¦She realised that people of any age will do anything to assist what they are fighting for. Furthermore, Stack lived through a portion of the second Palestinian intifada. During this struggle countless suicide bombers came by day and Is raeli tanks acquired Palestinian land in the West Bank by night. Stack describes this period of time as complete chaos, where, â€Å"violence fed violence. Blood washed blood†. Stack knew a Palestinian woman who was a victim of the brutality during the first intifada. She was tortured during the days of this time period for being part of an underground Palestinian political movement. Stack’s Palestinian friend was â€Å"tortured for days, beaten, abused, threatened with rape† by a barbaric Israeli interrogator. Although she faced strong hostility from the interrogator, she also faced kindness in the form of an anonymous Israeli man who â€Å"sat with her hour after dark hour† and attempted to help her get through the pain. This shows that an individual can interact with both negative and positive things throughout a conflict. Stack later faced a conflict when she wrote a feature about how the body parts of suicide bombers had caused a policy debate in Isr ael. This feature caused Stack to receive hundreds of hate mails regarding as to how she â€Å"humanized [suicide bombers]† by writing about them as actual people with families.
