Conflict can have tragic consequences for ordinary people. As humans‚ conflict pervades every aspect of our lives; it is inevitable. Whether it’s between good and evil‚ strength and weakness or love and hate‚ can only define our true natures.

Books can be written for the same audiences as well. Authors can voice their books differently to get their message across; Joseph Conrad uses his voice to tell how Africans are savages; both Chinua Achebe and Binyavaga Wainina use their voices to show how people’s views of Africa are not entirely correct.
