a long way gone
By: Ishmael Beah
A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier. This book I think would be considered a personal narrative. It is so far a story about his life as a boy soldier. So far he has talked about when the war first started. Him and his brothers, Junior and Talloi. They were traveling to a different town to perform in a talent show. And on their journey is when everything started. They were approached by a friend who said the radicals have reached their home town, everyone was lost and everything was destroyed.
I think this could be a scary time for everyone at this age. No one really knows what is going to happen or if anything is going to happen. I think also being at the age these boys are at it could be a scary time for them. I think this defiantly shows the characters developing. Or we will see more in the future of how they develop. We will see how they go from just three boys who wanted to show people their music in a talent show too three boys who are becoming soldiers for the radicals.
I know that once I start getting more into the book we can see this development for the characters and we can find out what happens to them once the radicals reach them..

Good post Sam, I like the way the blog is broken up into sections and I agree with what you said about the book being a personal narrative. I couldn't imagine having to go through anything that those kids had to and it must have been terrifying. It'll be interesting seeing what happens to them throughout the book.
