Ishmael Beah


I looked up some information on Ishmael Beah. He wrote the book A Long Way Gone and this is what I found. After he got to the states he went to college and he worked against the abuse of children during war time and he now works at the human rights watch children's division. The book A Long Way Gone was nominated for the Quill Award. It was in the top 10 books in 2007; it ranked number 3.

Double conciseness


Ishmeal is stuck in two worlds the world on a teen and the world of a solder one should never have to be stuck in two worlds of that difference the world of a kid is fun loving active the world of a solder is very different the killing the way they talk the guns the rate they die kids just ant got the muscle structure and the no how to be a solder the mind set is just wrong to a kid is to be a kid solders are solders never the same

Cival rights quote


civil rights quote “A community is democratic only when the humblest and weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic, and social rights that the biggest and most powerful possess.” by A. Philip Randolph this quote is saying that civil rights is when every one can enjoy the same thing as every on else so no one is forced to do something that they don't want to do i agree that the quote is a good quote

God Grew Tired Of Us


The movie God Grew Tired Of Us really showed what they went thou and how they struggle how they have suffers and what they do when they get to the U.S and how they struggle in a total different way getting a job and paying back what they ow but what really amazed me was how they travailed when they were kids running away from war they were staving dehydrated and dying and the fact that kids were in charge of kids and the kids in charge Had to bery the ones that had died i would recommend that movie for any one that wants to no moor about what other country are and have gone thou this one is a must

In a field


By Mark Strand
In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
wherever I am
I am what is missing.

When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in
too fill the spaces
were my body's been.

We all have reasons
for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.

This poem relates to the the book A Long Way Gone because its like Ishmael is the one moving because he has nothing no wear to live no family no safe place he feels alone and not wanted and just knows he has to keep moving

Little Rambo


Little kids
Invincible kids
Tremendously overpowering
Terrific fitters
Long hours
Enemy dies
Ruff looking
Always drugs
Moor death
Boy solder
Only life they no

Apple


A Single Slice Reveals Them

By Naomi Shihab Nye
An apple on the table
hides its seeds
so neatly
under seamless skin

but we talk and talk and talk
to let somebody
in.


The poem talks about people that keep their emotions in and don't want to show them but get talked in to sharing them. It relates to the book A Long Way Gone because Ishmael does not want to share what is inside of him but maybe eventually he will be talked in to sharing them and will realize that he's not a bad kid.
