The idea that stood out the most for me in A Long Way Gone was when Ishmael described what he had to go through at such a young age. He was separated from his parents and was clueless on where they were. Ishmael also saw many horrifying images that will scar him for life. I feel like the writing was at its best when Ishmael describes his surroundings on page 18. He puts a picture in your head by using imagery to describe the disturbing setting. My main question that I would like to be answered is, will Ishmael find his parents later in the book?

Journal 2 from Logan Sutton
My name is Logan Sutton. I am from Lewis Center, Ohio and I went to Olentangy High School. This year I am living at home and commuting to Marion. I am planning on transfering to main campus next year. I am going to major in Data Analytics. A fun fact about me is I play softball. I am a pitcher and can throw eight different pitches. I also do pitching lessons with younger girls for a job outside of school.

Its really cool that you teach younger girls about softball!!
ReplyDeleteI also thought this was the best writing when Ishmael was describing his surroundings and what he was going through. I could not imagine going through what he did at such a young age.
ReplyDeleteDo you love the experience of helping other girls out to get them to improve?
