My Perspective:
Vahan and his family were captured and taken to Goryan's Inn. There they stayed in a dark, damp room with no food or water, with about 10 soldiers garding. Adam Bagdasarian, the author of the book, describes that place like a small chamber which is almost always locked and only the soldiers have acess to walk in and out; he describes it almost like a jail chamber. And the people there are very desperate to get out. And then they finally do!
They are led to a walk. There were supposedly around 200 desperate Armenians, with no other desires but to get out of that place, and only around 20 soldiers who were giving them the tough time. All of them get out of the inn and walk away, with an unknown distination!
I remember myself reading that part, with anger and grudge twisted inside my belly. I was angry with those characters! And the thing that fascinated me was that nobady even tried to attack the soldiers! If it was me, and I knew I was going to die anyway, then I would have given my best chance. They were led by some crazy soldiers who did not care about anything. They were hungry for days and nights; they were thirsty. They were being led to an unknown place, and were not allowed to do almost anything but walk. Why wouldn't anyone try to fight the soldiers? Why wouldn't they try to protect their families? They had a 1:10 ratio advantage!
