011 – Looking at important themes in The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif

The word ‘and’ requires a comma before it, if it is replacing a semi-colon; otherwise, it is used in place of a comma.

Write three sentences that show you understand what this means.

FYI – I created an interesting post about using capital letters appropriately. Take a look here.

 

This is the epigraph found at the start of The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif:

This book is dedicated to all those people

of Afghanistan who have lost so much

in wars – their houses, their limbs and

their lives – and to all people workings for 

peace throughout the world.

 

Q. What is the meaning of the epigraph? How does it support the argument that war is futile?
