Summary Of Return To Homs And From Treeless Mountain
Confidence and friendship relationship expressed by sound and image
In Return to Homs and from Treeless Mountain, the cinematography and the editing show the confidence, solidarity, love and harmony between characters and other people in different scenes.

However, the image and the sound in this scene reveals the

It was the first time in his life that he prayed in earnest and it was followed by his first visit to a church for the purpose of prayer. That prayerful visit to a church marked a sort-of surrender for Merton. It was an experience he remembers as important to his…
