The Soccer War: The story goes on

As all the tension passes for the author, he starts explaining and letting us readers know a little about his life. As he arrives to Lagos again, we understand his position and vision of a white man in Africa and also about Africa itself. He feels completely desperated because of ilness and fright of Africa. "I have no strength left to fight the pain, so I ask Warsaw for permission to return" (pg. 137). He has had enough of adventure in Africa and ants to go back to his home, to his country, to Poland.

As kapuscinski leaves Africa, i stop to think in one thing. He might leave but doesn´t him have curiosity of what might happen later on? Maybe his just too freaked out to stay and reveal all the misteries in all of the different countries in Africa. But when he gets to Warsaw, he also finds a "War" for him. '' I have never had a desk, and I have never joined in meetings where people shout into each other´s faces and jump down each other´s throatswith a desk between them. ''(Pg. 146)Also he is not used to be behind a desk, he just likes work were adrenaline is always present, just like in Africa. Its completely understandable that he doesn´t like this kind of work and I can relate it to contemporary reporters. I have seen real life reporters that like very intense experiences to tralk about and certainly Kapuscinski is one of them. "Upon the desk, I have declared a silent war. It is, after all, a specific piece of furniture with particular properties" (pg. 146). It will be very interesting to see what decision would Kapuscinski take, if be present at a civil war were he could get killed or would lonelyness and boredom would "kill" him in his desk.
