Place: Rome (Italy)

The question I have chosen from the global context is: Where is ‘home’ for Enaiatollah? What are the requirements for him to experience a
place as ‘home’?. I chose this particular question because Enaiat moves a lot, he doesn’t really have a home and neither family. He has not a lot of requirements for a home but they are not easy to find. This book is a story about a Enaiat’s journey searching for a home. Evidence to support this idea is:

‘How do you choose a place to settle, Enaiat? How can you tell one from another?

You recognize it because you don’t feel like leaving. Not because it’s perfect, obviously. There aren’t any perfect places. But there are places where at least no one tries to hurt you.”

In The Sea There Are Crocodiles, Fabio Geda, (p.190)

Due to this evidence you can conclude that Enaiatollah isn’t asking for a lot of requirements for a home. The only few things are that people respect you and that he doesn’t feel like leaving. He probably feels like that when he meets people who care about him.

Place: Turkey to Greece

The question I have chosen from the global context is: How can you relate to Enaiatollah? In what ways is your personal situation in this country in 2016 similar?. I chose this question because when I was reading this book I discovered Enaiatollah was a really brave boy. And that he does everything to achieve his goals. I think I could relate to this when I’m in such a situation. I don’t think I would be brave immediately but I think I would develop with this throughout the journey. But in The Netherlands the economy is good. And human right are mostly good too. In my case I did not have to leave my country. Instead of Enaiatollah because people wanted to kill him he had to leave his home country. He was really brave during this journey although he was on his own and really young. Evidence to support this question:

I’m not turning back, I said. We’re near Greece, and if we aren’t near, at least we’re halfway by now. It’s the same distance, so it makes no difference if we go on or turn back, and I prefer to die in the sea rather than start this whole journey all over again.’

In the sea there are crocodiles, Fabio Geda, (153)

In the evidence you can determine that Enaiatollah is a brave person and wants to reach his goals. No matter what he continues his journey and wants to finish it. I think I could relate to this because I don’t want to give up on something what I have already started I want to finish it.

Place: Istanbul (Turkey)

To clarify the story of Enaiat he uses a lot of similes in his story of his journey towards a prosperous life. A simile is a figure of speech in which two unlike things are explicitly compared. Evidence to support this idea is:

“We were like grains of rice squeezed into someone’s hand.”

In the sea there are crocodiles, Fabio Geda, (P. 130)

‘’I don’t know how much time had passed when I heard someone moaning horribly, as if they were having their nails pulled out’’.

In the sea there are crocodiles, Fabio Geda, (P. 131)

In my example he compares the fact he and other people are cramped by grains of rice squeezed into someone’s hand. He also describes that someone was moaning like his nails were pulled out, with this he means that he was moaning real hard. Using similes helps the reader understand what is happening and how Enaiat felt at this moment. Simile is crucial in the book  ‘In The Sea There Are Crocodiles’ because the story of Enaiatollah is a story almost no one has experienced themselves. Similes help them understand some moments in the story.

Place: Kerman (Iran)

The question I have chosen from the global context; What causes Enaiatollah to move on to a different place? What is the consequence of the move? I have particular this question because I asked myself many times during reading this book what causes him to move. I think he has a lot of reasons why he moves to different places but one reason gets really clear in the book. Evidence to support this idea is:

‘It felt as if I was at home, or at least hoped I was, hoped I was in a place where I would be treated well, which amounts to the same things.
- In the sea there are crocodiles, Fabio Geda, (P.71)

Due to the evidence you can see that Enaiat just wants to be respected. He moves a lot because people don’t respect him. He also leaves because he needs to find better work or because he has to leave because there is danger. But the biggest reason is still that he doesn’t get respected.

Place: Quetta (pakistan)

The conflict in the book ‘In The Sea There Are Crocodiles’ is person vs. society. This means that the person has problems with the laws or beliefs from a group. In this case Enaiat isn’t treated well in the different societies. Evidence to support this idea is:

“That’s it, I thought.

I was fed up with being treated badly. I was fed up with the f undamentalists, the police who stopped you and asked you for your passport and, when you said you didn’t have one, took your money and kept it for themselves. And you had to give them the money straight away, otherwise they took you to the police station and punched and kicked you. I was fed up risking my life.”

In The Sea There Are Crocodiles, Fabio Geda, (p.55)

This means that Enaiat is done being treated different then the other people. Enaiat has a lot to deal with he needs to find a place to live, a job but also food, the society where he lives in isn’t making it any easier for him. This means it is person vs. society because the society won’t help Enaiat to survive.

Place: Quetta (Pakistan)

In this passage you get to know how Enaiat thinks about facts changing his life. The author in this story has limited omniscient. Evidence to support this idea is:

“Why don’t you tell me a bit more about Afghanistan before we go on?

What kind of thing?

Something about your mother, or your friends. Your relatives. Your village.

I don’t want to talk about people, I don’t want to talk about places. They aren’t

important.

Why?

Facts are important. The story is important. It’s what happens to you that changes your life, not where or who with.”

In The Sea There Are Crocodiles, Fabio Geda, (p. 52)

Enaiat says that it’s not important where or who you lived with it’s the facts

in the story that are important.This creates the impression that it doesn’t matter where you’re from or who raised you. It’s the whole story that matters. I find it peculiar that he says his

background and family isn’t really important to the whole story. This quote has to do with ‘omniscient’. The author who writes the story has limited omniscient. This means he only has knowledge of things from some characters. And the narrator who tells the story in this case Enaiat has Omniscient. This means he knows everything but he doesn’t tell everything.

Place: Nava (afghanistan)

Enaiatollah moves around a lot and so describes a lot of places. He cares more about the places he has seen then about the people he has seen it with or who he met. So he describes places in great detail or what happened to him. The element of fiction which fits this is setting. Setting means you describe the place to make it more interesting (how it looks etc.).

Evidence to support this idea is:

“I’d never have chosen to leave Nava. My village was a good place. It wasn’t technologically advanced, there was no electricity. For light, we used oil lamps. But there were apples. I would see the fruit being born, the flower s opening in front of my eyes and becoming fruit. I know flowers become fruit here, too, but you don’t see it happen. Stars. Lots and lots of them. The moon. I remember there were nights when, to save on oil, we ate in the open air by the light of the moon.

My house had one big room for all of us, where we slept, a room for guests, and a corner for making a fire and cooking, which was below floor level, and in winter pipes would take the heat from the fire all through the house. On the second floor there was a storeroom where we kept feed for the animals. Outside, a second kitchen, so that in summer the house didn’t get even hotter than it was, and a very large courtyard with apples, cherries. pomegranates, peaches, apricotes and mulberries. The walls were made of mud and very thick, more than a metre. We ate homemade yogurt, like greek yoghurt but much, much better. We had a cow and two sheep, and fields where we grew corn, which we took to the mill for grinding.

This was Nava, and I would never have chosen to leave it.

Not even when the Taliban closed the school.”

In The Sea There Are Crocodiles, Fabio Geda, (p. 19-20)

Due to how Enaiatollah describes his home it can be concluded that he loved living there. The descriptions of Enaiatollah’s home gives an explicit view of where he used to live before his journey and where he grew up.

Place: Nava (afghanistan) to kandahar (afghanistan) .

In this quote we learn more about the mother and Enaiat. The mother wants enaiat to do something so he doesn’t get bored. So she tells him to count the stars. We also learn that Enaiat thinks the task is impossible so is unwilling to start the task, later in the book you will see that he has developed in this category. I think this point includes the element of fiction: plot. And then the particular part: Exposition. This means we learn everything we need to know to understand the book. Evidence to support this idea is my favorite quote of the book:

“Have you seen the stars, Enaiat?”

“What have the stars got to do with anything?”

“count them, Enaiat.”

“That’s impossible. There are too many of them.”

“Then start now, said mother. Otherwise you’ll never finish.”

‘In The Sea There Are Crocodiles, Fabio geda (p. 10)

I like this quote because it actually says; No matter how hard the task is, you just have to start. This quote gives me more insight about the story because I get to know how the mother handles conflicts etc.

The title of the book is ‘In The Sea There Are Crocodiles’ (Geda, 2001, front page). This book is written by Fabio Geda. The title of the book is an element of fiction, it is a metaphor. Evidence to support this idea is that crocodiles don’t live in the sea, they live in sweetwater rivers. This means it has to be a metaphor of what will happen in the book. A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action that isn’t literally true. This title can refer to many things but I think he tries to explain that there are bad people in the world too. The bad people are the crocodiles and the world is the sea. Enaiatollah Akbari meets a lot of people on his journey to Italy. There would probably be people who were nice to him. But he has probably also met people who did hurt him a lot.
