Document Summary
Don"t get to say i"ve suffered my quota and don"t need to suffer anymore . Theme of book = suffering doesn"t end. Can only achieve happy ending if you push others into the corner of the frame. Doesn"t work here because the book focuses on many different people who"s path affect one another"s. Just because one is happy does not mean another is. Nationalism not described as a virtue, but a problem. Loss stays with you, can"t be replaced. Desire to just keep moving and keep busy. The english patient burnt to a crisp, wrapped in bandages. Hana falls in love with an indian sikh who volunteered with the british military (job = defusing bombs) He moved at a speed that allowed him to replace loss she would not judge it in him . Ending: kip learns about the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki. The bomb never would have been dropped on white people .
