- In the book, _____ reminds me of _____ because...
- The argument in this book is similar to ____ because...
Think about what you have read so far in your nonfiction book. How do ideas there connect with something else you have read about, something you have experienced in your life, something that is occurring now in our world, or something that has occurred in the past in our world? You need to avoid "group think" when you post your comment. You all have had different life experiences, so you should be able to come up with your own original idea and not simply rehash the first commenter's thoughts. You must post at least one comment consisting of a well-organized paragraph or more. Use specific details to back up your opinion. You do not need to use direct quotations unless you choose to. Neither do you need to reply to others' comments, but feel free to do so. Due Wednesday, December 19 by the end of the day. Remember to include the title of your book at the top of your comment. If you're having trouble finding a way to begin, consider one of the following sentence starters:

In the book, the mention and analysis of Al Shabab reminds me of Al Qaeda because they both have similar tactics in terms of terrorism. Al Shabab is an offspring of Al Qaeda (only difference being location, the leadership is generally the same at the higher echelons). Both groups take advantage of fear and utilize it to gain something, whether that be attention, notoriety, or money. Interestingly enough though, the book goes on to mention that neither of the groups spawned by chance; each were creations of the former toppled governments (or in Al Shabab's case, former toppled clan) and both are effectively organized, just as a country would be. The argument in this book is similar to what the UN General Assembly has said for years, because they both argue that these terrorist organizations are not there by chance; they are there as a result of foreign intervention (US in the Middle East, US in the Horn of Africa). Both the UN and the book agree that both terrorist organizations are, for one, terrorist clans; and two, that they are not random; and three, that they both will continue to instill fear in their homelands unless the UN fully commits to eradicating them.
