A Long Way Gone Ch. 3-5

This book is extremely disturbing but very true. Usually when I start a book, the beginning is very boring. But I was immediately pulled into the story of Ishmael Beah. When I first started the book, I couldn't put it down. It is so well written, and so interesting. It is impossible for me to comprehend what Beah is going through. Living in America, I have no idea what it really means to be starving, in danger, or terrified. I can say that I have experienced these things, but it was not for real. As I read through the book I realize more and more how lucky I am to be living here. Nothing like this would ever happen in America.
