Post one; a long way gone

Quot one:"That night for the first time in my life I realized that its the physical presence of people and theirs spirits that give towns a life. " pg.22

I find this quote said by Ishmael Beah true. Like he said the "physical presence". If theirs is more people then you wont feel as alone. It makes a huge difference when their is less people. After you feel more alone. The only reason why this quote was said, was because the people of the town were hiding. Like he said before all of the hiding, the crickets and birds sang in the evening before the sun went down. But now the sun goes down faster. The only reason why this is happening is because the "physical presence" of the town isn't their after everyone is hiding. Witch just makes every night scarier.

Quote two:"The first time I was touched by war I was twelve" pg.6

When I first read this I was like "WOW!!", how is this possible. I mean I was twelve last year and I couldn't Imagine being in war at that age. I was also very sad since Ishmael Beah didn't get to live the life of a normal teenager. He dint get to live his childhood to the fullest with is the best thing in life. I coulnt Imagine living a life like his.

This book some questions to ask like;
1) Is this ever going to end?
2) Are the people going to ever come out of hiding?
