Life In Gaza Strip Refugee Camp Khan Younis

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2012/11/18/life-in-gaza-strip-refugee-camp-khan-younis/

In this article, the author dicusses the life of the people who are living in the Gaza Strip, specifically in one refugee camp called Khan Younis. The author writes about how the refugees live normal everyday life intertwined with the constant war surrounding them. She establishes pathos by telling a story about a four year old child who was uninterrupted in his play by the shakes from a local bombing. Death and war become a norm for those living in the Gaza Strip, and the author uses simple syntax with war related diction to combine the seemingly opposing topics. The author also discusses the community that the refugees create and the uncertainty they encounter with rumors of invasions and attacks. Uncertainty in punctuation reflects the civilian's anxiety with the repeated use of hyphens to jump from topic to topic. The article ends abruptly with the image of fighter jets and explosions poluting the sky, showing the unpredictable and bleak future for the never ending war between Palestine and Israel.
