Narrative Elements and Plot

• Throughout the story, you learn about war and peace through several characters' eyes

• Some characters have cruel intentions, like Lieutenant Death and General Weyler, while other characters express how they want to help others, like Rosa, José, and Silvia

• We see juxtaposition of characters' perspectives

Alternating Perspectives

• In the text, Engle explores both the beautiful, healing nature of the setting and the imminent danger all around in the jungles of Cuba

• While Rosa knows how to find the best resources and hiding places in the jungle, Lieutenant Death ends up being lost and feverish trying to find his way out.

Setting

• While writers do not usually directly state what their themes are, they often drop clues about this information along the way

• Themes often revolve around how characters manage their conflicts.

Theme

• This unit's inquiry question is: How does society influence the next generation?

• Remember that society refers to a large group of people living in an organized way, and generation means a group of people living around the same time.
