Why do unfortunate events happen? Well, no body knows but it’s certain that they happen for a reason. They have an effect on the world, this effect changes the world forever, leaving a big opening in peoples harts. “The attempt by a group of desperate and marginalized Catholics renegades and romantics - terrorists is the word we would use – to blow up the king, queen, princes, peers, and other members of the parliament on its opening in November 5.”(pg 105) This line reflects how terrorists not only want to kill people but are also in the search of something else, they want change, which might be good or bad. They compare this actions with September 11, 2001 catastrophe made by the Muslims. This would continue a barrier that has been there for many years, the one between Islam and Catholicism.
These two different religions have had their misunderstandings and their wars to settle their problems, which are always, lead by their religions. Besides this separation of religion, there has always been a rivalry between European countries, especially between England, Spain, and France. Although all of them had their differences, they have now settled down. Anyways England was always superior to the other countries, or at least they believed that. “England was the white country, the king a magical miracle worker, a source of light himself who could turn black into white, who could bring happiness and the kind Protestant truth to the sad, blackened and benighted.”(pg 108) The white color here represents good, while black represents the opposite. This would then mean that England was the perfect, happy, and correct country. But still some unfortunate events happened. Why?
