The book A Long Way Gone is a memoir about a boy soldier named Ishmael Beah‚ that lived in Sierra Leone‚ Africa. He lived a normal life going to school and playing soccer with his friends.

This shows that rather than punishing a child to show them what they did wrong‚ you can work with them to help them understand what they did incorrectly. Just punishing someone might still make them not understand what they did wrong‚ but teaching them does. Plus‚ some people like Ishmael don’t grow up so lucky. Unlike me‚ he didn’t grow

this Muslim holiday Eid-ul-Adha commemorates Prophet Abraham’s unselfish act of sacrificing his own son Ishmael to ‘Rabbul Alamin’‚ Allah S.W.T. So as Hari Raya Haji is around the corner‚ it is very nice for us Muslims to recap the history behind it. There were two histories of Hari Raya Haji that Muslims ought to remember. The first one is the history of Prophet Abraham and his son‚ Prophet Ishmael and the second one is about the history of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W performed Hajj for the first time

For example‚ he “stole people’s food while they slept” because “it was the only way to get through the night” and did other violent things that would not have happened if there was not a civil war (Beah 29). In addition‚ Ishmael lost many of his family and friends and went through many struggles. He felt that he

For summer reading prior to my start of tenth grade I had to read two books out of a section of memoirs. The two books I chose were Night by Elie Wiesel and A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah. These two books were very inspirational to me and made an impact on my life. After being a sophomore for four weeks the curriculum has already begun to make me more aware of myself and the world around me. When I first learned about the holocaust in the fifth of sixth grade‚ I became very interested in that point

But Danny was absent today so the teacher called Ishmael to the front of the classroom and asked him if he and Danny cheated off of each other’s test. Ishmael first lied and said‚ “I don’t know how we have the same answer it had to by coincidence.” The entire class knew they cheated off of each other but no one uttered a word

I believe that even though violence is an awful thing that no child should have to endure‚ I learned a lot through Beah’s awful experiences including war’s injustices and the importance of hope and courage. Ishmael Beah discovered that the only way he could continue on and stay remotely strong was through the use of drugs. I was able to understand that well not through my own experiences of course‚ but because I cannot imagine any other way of making it through

Melville takes the opportunity to add a foreboding feeling to the book early on by giving the inn proprietor the name Peter Coffin. Choosing such a dark name brings death to the front of the mind at the very start of the book. This morbid theme is continued through the unusual story revolving around Queequeg’s coffin. Although it later represents life when saving Ishmael in the epilogue‚ the intricate
