Introduction

I have recently read the book A Long Way Gone,By Ishmael Beah. This is a story of a young African boy living in Sierra Leone. His village is attacked by rebels and he is forced to flea from his country. Eventually, Ishmael miraculously made it to New York City and the book goes on to tell about his new life. After reading the book, I noticed three major themes:
1) War is a nightmare that nobody wants to be caught in
2) There is always hope
3)When there is nothing else left, simply love

These three themes will be targeted in my blog relating to A Long Way Gone
