Main Character

My main characters name is Ishmael Beah. He is important to the story because he narrates it and the story is told through him. This character is very worth having the story told because he is a very interesting kid that you can learn a lot from. It is very rare to find a kid that has gone through as much as him. I am very interested to what happens to him at the end of the story.

If the book were a movie

If my book was a movie, It would probably look similar to the Slumdog Millionaire. It would look like this because my book is based off in Africa and in a run down area like in Slumdog Millionaire. I am not sure what all the characters would be because I have not read the whole book yet.

Book title

A Long Way Gone

By: Ishmael Beah.

I picked this book, mainly because my mom gave it to me and she said it would be good for me to read it. Looking into though, it really does seem pretty interesting with these little African Kids participating in war far beyond their knowledge. I am looking forward to seeing what this book has to offer, and seeing how this kid uses his bravery to fight the war amongst himself and country. This is a rare story because it is told from him himself. Which makes all the information very real and probably hard to take at some points. We will see how the story plays out!
