My comment on Xena Amro's
story, The Innocent Child, consists of three points.
First, the style is simple, clear, concise, and reader friendly.
Second, the content is touching, sincere, and honest. It captures the reader from the first word till the end. It is a breathtaking story. Hundreds, even thousands of crimes, similar to that one, had happened. During the last four decades, most of the Lebanese families lost, at least, one member, such as victim, injured, refugee, escapee or immigrant. Many villages were demolished. Till now, their inhabitants could not return. Besides, the content conveys distress, anger. Anxiety, and sadness. The writer believes that religion, politics, cultural traditions, and injustice are the roots of the problems. People live and grow up with fear. There is no tomorrow in Lebanon. So, the best solution is to leave, escape as the kangaroo did. But, the war did not give the mother any chance. A bomb explosion destroyed all her plans, projects, and dreams. The six-year old daughter was killed.
Finally, needless to say that while I was reading this story, my eyes dropped two warm tears, one for the innocent child, and the second for Lebanese people who were born, and are still living in endless war.
