Imagine being stuck in your country and having your own government turn on you. The book Forgotten Fire is a tragedy, with many different connections and symbols.
To begin with Forgotten Fire is a tragedy. This is because Vahan the main character does have a raise to power, this is being wealthy, having a family and lots of good friends evidence of this is on page 4, “In 1915, I was twelve years old the youngest and most respected Armenians in Turkey.” Vahan has many tragic flaws some of these flaws are trusting the wrong people. On page the scene takes place in Vahans families garden. The police is talks to his mom as Vahan holds his brother and sisters hands. Then the police man looks all of them and says, “You all are coming with us.” In addition there is also a tragic fall this is when his father is taken away and he does not come back. Also his brother are killed in the family garden. This is the tragic fall because when the soldiers of you own country kill you family Vahan knows thing are going to get worse and he might be the next one to die. Lastly what makes the book Forgotten Fire a definite tragedy is it ends in death. The books ends with just Vahan he is the only one left in his family of 10. The rest are all dead.
Secondly this horrible tragedy also has many connections to our world now. These connections very having two army’s fight. There is a death march in the book just like in the real world. Evidence of this is on page 47, in this scene Vahan his mother, sister and grandmother are being lead by the military and none knows where they are going or what is going to happen. Next there is also a connection on illegal immigrants they were not allowed across the boarder without letting the government know.
Along with many connections there are also many symbols in this novel. These symbols are a baby, and a barn. First off the baby stands for many things in Vahan life such as life and friendship because in the later chapters Vahans meets a girl named Seta she has a baby and then gets sick and dies, but the baby will always stays in Vahans hart and will always remember his one and only love Seta. The Next symbol is a barn in the middle of the book Vahan is taken in by the old governor as a stable boy. He was in charge taking care of horses and cleaning up after them this barn acted like Vahan room will always be a horrible memory of what the governor was like.
To finish off with this tragedy with many connections and symbols shows us all how much insanity the world had that it all turned out ok.
