Analysis of scenes that indicate how Palestinians sustain the sense of resilience
How overcoming the trauma and dealing with the trauma is presented in the portrayal and development of the different characters in the novel.
Creating a theoretical basis where you compare the Palestinian case presented in the novel to theories about previous or different cultures of resistance and resilience represented in other literary works, especially novels.
You need to put all the examples into a theoretical context where the examples speak to the theory.
The theory should be something that highlights how occupied people who fight for freedom protect their identity and memory; and how they sustain their resistance and resilience and overcome daily traumas to live on and survive and even thrive. This has to be highlighted as specific to the freedom fight for occupied Palestine. With the emphasis that the Palestinian case does not fit in a postcolonial discourse because it is still colonized. And what role could literature play in this fight for freedom.
