I would recommend trying to really find a good explanation for this subject. It takes a few different sourses and explanations to understand it fully.
Existentialism was especially prominent in post-World War years as a way for people to reassert the importance of human individuality and freedom. That could be a good relation to the war in 1984 and the conflict in Nigeria in The Guest.
This blog is intended to be an educational resource for my Pre-AP/IB English 10 students. I expect all comments/posts to be appropriate and professional. The postings on this blog represent the personal views and opinions of the individuals who post and do not necessarily represent the positions, strategies, or opinions of Auburn City Schools.

Just to be clear, the conflict in "The Guest" is in Algeria.
