Aboudi wishes to become a national hero who will liberate the Palestine from their oppressors. He also wants to become a reknown TV presenter or media personality. He wants to be involved in the invention of an acid formula that would be used in dissolving reinforced steel in aircrafts and tanks. Above all he wants to remain alive and independent such that other people cannot control his time and things. He wishes to achieve all these things in a free Palestinian country. Aboudi and his two friends Joni and Hopper are all against their oppressors in Palestine. They therefore endeavor to be nationalists who will liberate their country from the bondages of oppression and conflict. The three boys find a piece of ground and make it their own. They clear it making it fit as a football playing ground. They utilize a junk car and Old tanks to make their base for their operations. The three go to the extent of making a painting of a Palestinian flag on stones located on corners of their base. As they start enjoying the fruits of their new play grounds they have no idea of what is awaiting them. The Israeli Soldiers are always on the look and they always thwart their hope to happiness. (Laird, 2006).
The title a little piece of ground is a metaphor representing the hope of the young boys for owning a small land where they can play soccer. The young men are obsessed with playing soccer just like any other kid can be obsessed with video games and other games that are common to kids. The strong ambition of a boy like Kasim is symbolic of nationalism amongst the Palestinians. When the audience is treated to images of the boys printing the flag of their country at their perceived base, it is an indication that they are patriotic to their nation and would not be cowed by the Israeli forces. People like Kasim would grow up to become future nationalistic leader. Philosophically, the experiences the young boys are passing through would be reflected in their future lives. In future they would have nice testimonies to tell their followers as leaders in the countries. (Genevieve,2004).

A plat shows how a piece of land is divided into lots and usually shows information including setbacks, coordinates, and easements. The Office of Mapping and Geographic Information receives preliminary subdivision plats to assign street addresses or adjust parcel boundaries. These plats show the metes and bounds of multiple lots and do not typically show building footprints or other ground features. 2ff7e9595c
