Analyze the concluding statement in ?Guest of the Nation? when he says, ?I was somehow very small and very lost and lonely like a child astray in the snow. And anything that happened to me afterwards, I never felt the same about again.? What had he lost as a result of his participation in the deaths of the hostages? How do you think he has changed? How does it alter his view of the rest of the world and life? What message do you think WE as readers are supposed to gain from the narrator’s experience?
