Forgetfulness: Return of the Blog Posts I

   I have just finished reading a book called "A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a boy soldier"  By Ishmael Beah. This book is about how a kid named Ishmael is recruited as a child soldier to fight rebels who do stuff like go to innocent villages and cut off the balls of the men and then kill everyone and take the food. The army gives everyone coke mixed with gunpowder so he can get a surge of energy. He is trained to kill without remorse.
   I think this book shows what kind of a world we had before and our ignorance to other countries. While we are upset because we have a red ring of death, some guy across the world may be getting his balls chopped off. I think this book shows how we should be grateful for what we have. It also shows that we should use those little UNICEF boxes because they're the ones who saved the child soldiers(even though those are for blood cancer. Just trying to make a connection...) . Overall I think this is a great book.
