A great deal of Hassan’s poetry records events and situations and also the life of the Holy Prophet, as did the poetry of Ka'b bin Malik and Abdullah bin Rawahah and many others. After examining a little of the history and background of Arabic literature, and the way literature can help people deal with and even transform their lives, Seagull turns to the situation in Gaza today: ادا يجب ان نعترف انه لدينا هنا مشكله في ثقافتنا وطريقة تفكرينا وان الاحتلال زرع فينا الخوف حتي وصلنا الي درجه لا نستطيع ان نعبر فيها عن انفسنا , بل اننا نبدع في تحطيم ذاتنا وتشويه كل ما هو جميل ... فما هو الحل ؟ Our poet Mahmoud Darwish, may he rest in peace, expressed the suffering of his people and their experience in a particular political era, as did many other Palestinian poets such as Samih Al-Qasim and Fadwa Touqan.
