this book does a really good job at explaining fighting and why it happens in easy to understand language. it uses quotes to deepen the message of what the author was trying to say. This is definitely a must read.

This books does a great job of breaking down conflicts as big as wars between 2 nations and 2 people. it has so much interesting information in such a small read. i would recommend it to all

I loved this book's concept as it finally goes through the surface of the bombs and arguing, to the basis of why conflicts occur. However, i only rated this a 3 stars as I found that, while it was extremely thorough and interesting, I found it to be exaggerating, and sometimes, it bore me a little bit. I felt like some parts were longer than it needed to be. But, this does not dicount the fact that I like the different views that the book posed, how it presented conflict to a new angle.
As this book quotes, from Martin Luther King jr. himself, "People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other. they don;t know each other because they have not communicated with each other." I think this summarizes the book from one of its own quotes. I really liked the quotes at the beginning of each new section. Definitely a rewarding read!

Why do we fight? it has defintly been a questions I had been asking myself and my parents for years. It seems like theres no need to argue when theres a solution right? This book defintly showed the reasons with reliable research. It was relatable and inspiring. Answered many questions of many kids and honestly the part when the author describes the way an argument can end was very intresting. It was also a very understandable book where if you weren't really focusing on the text, the pictures/cartoons would describe a general summary of the information

"Why Do We Fight" discusses extremely important things in our society. It explains the reasons behind conflict, the process and how to solve it. Research was obviously conducted and relevant stories, examples and statistics were included. The analogies were relatable; instead of making it too formal sounding like a report, the author used, for lack of a better word, childish comparisons to prove her point. I think this was effective because they were more interesting and understandable. Personally, I liked reading about how some countries settles conflicts. I also particularly enjoyed reading the famous quotations the author added to each paragraph. Finally, There were timelines and different ways to format the information so it wasn't too boring to look at.

Overall, I think this book is an excellent way to teach readers about global issues and conflicts (big or small) around the world. A must read for everyone.

The theme of the book is very thoughtful, and it brings up many questions that I think that most of us have had before. Many of the examples and comparisons that it made were sort of childish. Therefore, I would say that the writing was for a slightly younger audience, but the content can be appreciated by all.

This book was great, it was very easy to read even though there were not many pictures. I think this book belongs in Silver Birch, as the author writing style is for a younger audience. That doesn't however affect the content.

Graphic presentation of terms and history of conflict - makes this a useful book for discussion.
