Journal Two from Nick
My name is Nick. I have lived in Ohio all of my life. I am a middle child of two other brothers. I play games mostly and when I am not I am outside hiking , going to parks, or just enjoying nature. A fun fact about me is that I love jewelry, more specifically watches. The most watches I have ever owned at one point was twelve and realized that its an expensive hobby to collect watches especially with a minimum wage job. So I sold most and put the money towards school.
The theme I took form A Long Way Gone, was carnage and dismay. There was clear evidence of carnage in the chapter where countless people were killed. The dismay and chaos was displayed though the reactions of Gibrill's response to why he was back so early and why the talent show had been canceled. Gibrilla informed his friends of the horrific news that the rebels had attacked their village and the their grandmothers village was next.

I like your post on how the the first chapter brings up a theme we will most likely see down the road, it's somewhat foreshadowing event we will most likely see in the book.
ReplyDeleteI think it is setting the tone for what the author may be forced to do in the future. It is showing us how awful life is there when these things happen.
ReplyDeleteAfter you graduate from college, I guarantee your hobby will start back again (:
ReplyDeleteYes, carnage is a perfect description of what was going on in their town, and soon their grandmother's town. No one was safe.
ReplyDeleteI find it amazing that you thought of this because I'm sure that we have all thought of how this will follow through the rest of the book.
