A Long Way Gone Ch. 10

This chapter was so sad. I could not believe that Saidu really died. I guess I knew that something bad was going to happen, but I did not expect this. There are many different reasons that Saidu could have died. But Beah doesn't tell us the real reason, so we can only guess. Saidu might have died from the bird that they ate that fell out of the sky. Birds don't just fall out of the sky normaly. There had to have been something wrong with it. Maybe it was diseased. Another reason that he could have died was from starvation. But I think that Saidu had just lost the will to live. His whole life had fallen apart and it was obvious that things were not just going to go back to normal. Saidu felt that there was no reason to move on, it was better to just end the suffering now.

I agree with you about Saidu. It really took me by surprise when they said he was dead. I could not believe it at all.
