The Guest: question

1. i think now that Daru has been threatened that the native people will destroy the school house and drive Daru off the plateau or kill him.
      -the Arab killed his cousin
      -balducci brought the Arab to Daru because he was suppose to bring him to the jail.

2. i think the Arab chose to go to prison rather than go free was because Daru treated him like a guest rather than a prisoner and gave him the option to do the right thing and face the consequences of his actions.

5. what is ironic at the end of the story is that Daru gives the prisoner the choice to go to jail or go free and the prisoner chooses to go to jail.

3. Daru's main conflict is that hes told he has a duty to France during upcoming war time, he doesn't like that the Arab killed someone, and he doesn't feel like its his job to deliver the Arab to prison.

7. if Daru escorted the Arab to the nomads he would have regretted making that decision because he thought that it was wrong for the Arab to kill someone.

Pause and Reflect: Why is life so difficult for Daru's pupils and their families?

Life for Daru's pupils and their families is so difficult because they're all poor and live on top of a plateau and there was a drought so non of the families can grow crops to support their families.
