After reading the book "Long way gone", It shows me how powerful humanity can be.
Beah Made me feel as if i can make it though anything, It also made me value life,my family and the way i live today. The story showed the impotent of family. It also showed me how us as people take so much for granted because IT just there and you thing its always gonna be there. He had been though almost everything but he kept fighting he didn't give up. that's that i think he had it so fast, the other kind of just gave up after a while, like in the story his friend was ready to die he gave up. But Beah adjusted to every environment. when he didn't have food he found something to eat no matter what it was he found a sources for everything. this story showed me that you also cant judge someone on there past. Because thing things they may have
had to do may not have been by choice, but maybe it was what they had to do to survive.
