The Red Badge of Courage* awakens memories of the Tunisian's revolution, in one's mind.
As Tunisians, we were lost, helpless and suppressed by the old regime. And all of a sudden, we were going out on the streets; shouting "DEGAGE". It has been a year since those sweet and painful memories. Still, we have a lot to do.
My love to this country and my adoration to these people (which I am proud to be part of) pull me to write these humble words.
Henry Fleming, the protagonist of The Red Badge of Courage, lives a journey full of fear, doubts and tough decisions. Indeed, he somehow reflects the journey of each Tunisian towards the golden dream: Freedom. Like Henry, the Tunisian has a long path to walk on. In fact, the revolution was only the key that opened that locked gate of liberty.
Henry Fleming has become a strong and brave soldier. However, as long as he is alive, there still are other skirmishes and battles to be fought.
