'Ishmael Beahââ¬â¢s Experience in A long way Gone\r'
'The book A presbyopic way gone is a literary work that narrates the ordeals of a child- pass in the reach of fate. The writer, Isheal Beah became a soldier at thirteen. As the enthr each tolding grade enfolds, he recounts his experience during and after the warfare. At 12 he had fled for the attacking rebels in his unpolished, Sierra Leone into the streets off-key insane by the violence of war. A grade later he was converted to a soldier by the g overnmentââ¬â¢s army. This is where the heart-wrenching tale, a offshoot class experience of a transformation from a young boy, with a tender heart to a bulgeer boy begins.\r\nHe was exposed to all the undiluted vices of war. From drugs that they were given to strengthen them and the ammunitions they were given to kill themselves with. He was given an AK-47 much heavier then his hands could carry. One present moment an innocent boy, the next moment a ââ¬Å"killerboyââ¬Â, capable of intense violence and frightening acts. I shmeal tells his theme with an unparallel truth bearing in mind other peopleââ¬â¢s feelings. flat twenty-six he looks back, down the memory track at all he had been through, how he survived the war and how he survived his refilling after the war.\r\nFor three years he fought in the war until he was outback(a) by UNICEF. With the help of the organization, he received rehabilitation, a re-transitional process to his former self before the war. stalk by the warââ¬â¢s experience, the war was over truly, scarcely the war within Ishmealââ¬â¢ heart continues. The rehabilitation experience was a romance of self-war in itself, involving a self-forgiving process and a requisition of humanity long lost till eventually the final ameliorate began to come. Ishmealââ¬â¢s experience reminds us of all the wars crosswise the globe and how children put on become the easy pickaxe for these wars.\r\nWith more than fifty wars going on, over 300,000 children have been converted to soldiers. All going through the scathe and hell that Ishmeal went through. The trading floor fits into the trend of history in the twentieth century that was so full of African genocide, Gulf war and other wars more or less the world. The story also reminds us of the consequences of war, the unchecked genocide perpetrated by human to fellow humans and the effects of all these on several thousands of children and others, whose lives have been altered miserably by war.\r\nIshmealââ¬â¢s story does this an alarming genuity and evident emotional force. His experience is quite unique because he was not only a witness but also a victim. He saw and conquered. The story was written like a memoir which has not only added colour to the story but make it more unique, for he narrates them in first someone that made it more gripping. His honesty is exacting, and a proof to the ability of children to outlive their sorrows and suffering, if given a chance.\r\nFrom his recounts of the earn est villages and total destruction to all, the story raises the question in all rationale mindsââ¬Â¦ what do human light upon from war? ââ¬Å"My high school friends have begun to odd I havenââ¬â¢t told them the full story of my life. ââ¬Â ââ¬Å"Why did you leave Sierra Leone? ââ¬Â ââ¬Å"Because there is a war. ââ¬Â ââ¬Å"Did you witness some of the fighting? ââ¬Â ââ¬Å"Everyone in the country did. ââ¬Â ââ¬Å"You mean you saw people running around with guns and shooting each other? ââ¬Â ââ¬Å"You should tell us about it sometime. ââ¬Â ââ¬Å"Yes, sometime. ââ¬Â\r\n'
