I think Ishmael Beah is a very brave boy. As a teenage boy that is only fourteen, Ishmael have became a soldier that not just fight for the country but also for his survival. His close friend Saidu had just passed away yet Ishmael have to keep on going. “His journey in this world had ended." We, on the other hand, had to continue. Ishmael is very brave to keep on fighting after having to go through so much sorrow.

Ishmael is finally removed from the government army to rehab at the UNICEF. However, sixteen year old Ishmael has became a murderer and all he know is to kill. Rehab seem very unusual to him. He was used to seeing dead bodies, going high on drugs and killing mobs of people each day. One line that Ishmael said struck me," I feel as if there is noting left for me to be alive for...I have no family, it is just me"(167.)
