How sufficiently does the book portray people and their relationship to issues stemming from greed, political culture, political ideology, the legacy of colonialism, religion, multiculturalism, change, unity in diversity, identity, and their historical effects leading to the novel’s civil war? Critique the authenticity of the book. Here, you should pay special attention to the writer’s goal, audience, background (educational as well as ethnic), and perspective. Biases should be discussed. State how your understanding, attitudes, or perception of civil wars has been changed by the book. Integrate information, ideas or materials discussed in class or with which you are personally familiar from other courses, experiences, etc. Be creative in your writing. Please do not simply write one paragraph each on sufficiency, authenticity, understanding, and integration. Give your reviews some thought, and use this as an opportunity to be personally expressive and professionally convincing.
