Respuesta :

Answer:

The deus ex machina twist to the plot is the death of Abdul-Karim.

Explanation:

This refers to a story called The Swimming Contest by Benjamin Tammuz.  The story is set in Israel and it symbolizes the conflict between Arabs and Jews over Israel and the Palestine territory, where the new influx of Jews into the Holy Land was not welcome by the Arab communities. In literature, a deus ex machina is a twist in the plot that is unexpected but saves a seemingly hopeless situation. With his death, Abdul-Karim is free from the vagaries and evilness of war and how people affected by it.
