The 43rd war is based in El Salvador because in the "Nations of the World Atlas" It ways that El Salvador was torn by civil war. The main religion is Roman Catholic (Wikipedia), like in the book, when the villagers died, it says that they put a cross on the grave. The cross is a Catholic sign, and the main language is Spanish. They speak Spanish a lot in the book. (43rd War). It says that there is a lot of guerilla warfare in El Salvador which agrees with the book because they use it a lot. Altacal was the ruler of El Salvador a while ago and that is maybe why Moeri choose to name a volcano by. I think that Moeri decided not to tell the location because it is not true and also he didnt want to make any one upset about their government. I think that people would have gotten mad if he said any specific country.

Asim !
i agree with everything in which you posted because we wrote about the same thing!!
I agree with your thinking but the first sentence needs revising (seems a little confusing) and im pretty sure your not dont because your citation and second paragraph arent there, but of what ive seen....good post.

asim!!
good job with your post! i agree that this novel took place in El Salvador!!! I agree with the fact that El Salvador is Roman Catholic and referring back to the book, that they used two twigs to form a cross. nice!
I myself, thought that the novel took place in Guatemala. After reading you post, because of the amount of evidence you gave, it made me change my mind a little. You should go back and make sure your citations were okay. Good job!
Asim, good job on this post. One thing you could improve, though, is your in-text citations. Make sure every piece of evidence has a citation after it. I agree with the country you chose, but I disagree with why the author didn't reveal it. I agree with philippe about the first sentence. But, overall, a good post.
Hey thanks for the comment but yeah I wasn't done with the post yet. Being as talented as I am I'm done with it now :) Yeah I agree that 43rd war takes place in El Salvador. Our evidence about the country being war torn is probably one of the strongest because of the fact that its the 43rd war in the country. Nice job brosef.
