I’m not the kind to read sad stories about someones life. I praise Ishmael Beah‚ the author of A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a boy solider.

I think this is important because every time Ishmael was about to give up‚ he would always think of a happy memory from his childhood about his family

In the movie‚ “Gone Girl”‚ the product placement was pretty obvious at times. The audience of this movie is mostly aimed at adult females‚ so the product placement seemed to be mostly brands that adult females would enjoy.
