Rating: It was amazing!
"A Long Way Gone" is a memoir of boy soldier Ishmael Beah. Beah was a normal nboy living in his life in Sierra Leone when the attacking rebels changed his forever. In an instant, he lot his entire family and gained a gun instead. Beah's story, like so many other child soldiers, is heartbreaking and painful to read about. However, it is also eye opening. It shows the audience just how thankful they should be for everything, especially the little things, because everything is so valuable one you don't have it anymore.
Furthermore, Beah's novel and story changed my life. It taught me that i have everything i could ever want and need and now it it my turn to give back. There is no age requirement to give to places like Uganda, Darfur, and Palestine; once you aer old enough to understand how much these people and children need, it it time to start helping. This novel is one of the most amazing and influential things i have ever read
