For my English project, I've decided to do my inquiry on the English Patient by Michael Ondaatje. I've chosen it because the book name itself immediately caught my attention: it seemed to be a book about love and war. After reading some reviews and doing some research, I found out that most people either really enjoyed it or really hated it. However, I was ready to take that risk, to see how the story unravels and to see which side I would eventually take. I believe that the story takes place in a villa, and is about a women who nurses a burnt patient. The patient presumably was a victim of a plane crash in the deserts to which his life was barely saved. Throughout the story, the patient eventually unravels his story in the war. Through reading the story, I hope to gain a better sense of the true war and also the love between people. I have great hopes in reading this book, I look forward to the lessons that the books hold.
