If I had to choose a book which COULD illustrate this theme, I would choose Bel Canto by Ann Patchett. This story takes place in an unspecified South American country. The government WANTS TO vindicates THE SUCCESS OF AN investment in the hope of revamping the stagnant economy. Therefore it throws a lavish birthday party in honour of the Japanese business mogul Katsumi Hosokawa. He is a connoisseur of music, so they call on THE SEVICES OF the most illustrious people, including THE revered soprano, Roxane Cross. The entrepreneur is mesmerized by her exceptionally beautiful voice. All of a sudden a group of armed terrorists storm into the mansion targeting the president, but he is not THERE during the raid. The insurgents capture EVERYBODY PRESENT AND Although the guests are extremely frightened, they do not exhibit their feelings because the situation might escalate further. Despite the menacing ordeal Roxane continues to sing every day. AS this crisis CONTINUES for such a long time, the hostages entrench themselves in the enjoyment of this pure art in order to avoid thinking about their dire situation. So inhibited DO the hostages FEEL THAT THEY COMMENCE TO FEAR the worst. Gen, the Japanese businessman’s translator begins tutoring Carmen, who is one of the insurgents. He teaches her how to read and write IN Spanish and English. They meet ON the pretext of studying, SO THAT they can seize the moment to make love in a hideaway. They sense the bleakNESS OF THIER fate as the special forces underline that they want to MAKE precedent SHOWING how to deal with terrorists. The more closely the characters feel the proximity of death, the more passionate they become. Falling in love is the most expedient way to divert their attention from the possible horrible outcome of this incident. Developing an intimate relationship between AN offender and a victim has always been prevalent, which we call Stockholm syndrome. Not only does art keep tension at bay, but it can also unify people from all walks of life. They HAD BEEN chasIN A chimera before THE HOSTAGE SITUATION BEGAN, but these calamitous days have laid bare theIR delusionS of grandeur. When people are trapped in confinement, they are able to find common ground. Seeing the triumph over barbarism, readers can restore their faith in humanity. In conclusion, I feel that this book can shed new light on how people can put up with hardship. Best regards, Roland
