a long way gone ch 21

Wow all I can say is that i believe Ishmael Beah has the worst luck. When you finally think that everything is going to be OK and he has found a family, then a war starts where he is living and his uncle dies. Also he almost becomes a soldier when he is going after food and the army are capturing and killing people. All i could think of is that it would depress him even more if he was put back in the army and all the trauma he would face. The only thing i didn't understand at the end of the book was why he did not take Muhammad with him to the United States to live with him. It must have been really hard for him to have to go through all those checkpoints and see how he acted when he was in the war, which was like a jerk. As an overall thought I saw this as an inspiring book to show that even when things get bad you still have things left to live for even if you don't know what that thing may be.
