mcfarleyems 's review for:
A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah
I love using this book in my English classroom. It gives students an opportunity to examine their own humanitarian beliefs and discuss the pros and cons of memoirs at the same time. My students have never been more captivated by a book as they were when we read Beah's story. I have watched students cry with joy and sadness, I've watched them cringe, and I've watched them laugh. But my favorite part is that I've watched them become grateful for the little things in life. A must read!
