A book to remember!!!
A long Way Gone, book to remember. [Proofread this sentence for errors.] One of my top favorite books to read in high school. A Long Way Gone Tells about the struggle of young teenage boys in Sierra Leone, Africa, throughout the homicides from the rebels throughout other parts of Africa. This book can bring different moods to you as you read such as, sad mood, anxious thoughts too of what’s going to happen next, and even a happy mood towards the ending. In the first couple chapters, the book gets into introducing the five main boys who tells their life of being a teenager during the homicides in Africa, and the way they live day by day. They describe the condition of the huts (house), which are made out of hard clay, close to concrete in our country. The way I picture these huts is I imagine the movie “ROOTS”. The huts have palms from the palm trees as their roof. Broken up clay, which they use to model the main part of the huts. [Good details here.] The insides, as one of the boys describe it as being very closer phobic, the fact that each hut contains as much as ten family members in each. That part really got to me. Thinking about how I would feel being a teenager with no privacy sharing my room with five people. Getting into the middle, “MAIN PART” of the book.
The village needs protection so they have no other choice but to start training young teenage boys how to kill. To me this is a horrible thing because I can just imagine how the mothers of these boys feel, their little boys risking their life to protect the families and friends knowing their lives is in jeopardy. Tears fall down my eyes every time I read to that point the violence that went down between the two sides of Africa, the north and the west shooting after shooting; babies dying, mothers and fathers dying as well. You become sad but just cant put the book down. [You need to connect this paragraph to one of your thesis points.] Well to get to the ending, the happy part the five boys that is narrating the book they all survive which is the happy part and they all live to tell the story, but at the very ending they stop at a very important part which makes me so anxious to continue the other three maybe someday I will but until then this book is still my favorite.
