Basic Information
Omer Jarrah grew up in Tikrit, Iraq, with his younger brother, Sayid. From a young age, their father pressured them to be tough. One day, when Omer was 12 years old, his father gave him a knife and instructed him to kill a chicken, telling him that he was not a child and had to start acting like a man. Omer told his father that he didn't want to kill a chicken, so his father told him that he would stay outside until he did as he was instructed. After his father went back inside, Sayid arrived on the scene with some bird seed in his hand. He entered the chicken coup, lured the chicken's with some seed, grabbed one and killed it. He gave the chicken to Omer so that their father would think he did as he was asked. Their father praised Omer for killing the chicken, however, Omer confessed that he did not do it and that it was Sayid's doing. Mr. Jarrah responded by saying that at least one of his sons would be a real man. He congradulated Sayid and went inside, disapointed in Omer.
