A LONG WAY GONE By Ishmael Beah

What really hard things are happening in this text? Are these things happening in the world now? Where?

In this book, it shows how the before the main character, Ishmael Beah became a child soldier, he was living a happy life with his family in Sierra Leone. All was going great until the civil war breaks out and the rebel soldiers come to attack his town. Everyone scatters around to escape. Some people survive the attack, but his family was sadly murdered in the encounter. It seems like his child hood is destroyed, but he tries to gain it back by learning the power of love.

War is like hell itself. Instead of burning flames, its a battlefield of death and despair. You forget who you are. You forget the meaning of life, love, laughter. These are all just words to them. Child soldiers are forced to fight. They can't choose to leave. They stay until death. This is happening all over the world. At  least 25 countries have this problem. The world is corrupted with their mentality. It is just wrong and should be stopped.
