2.       Read up to chapter 12 (so read chapter 11 and stop) and answer the following journal questions in a word document:

Chapter Seven:

• In this chapter, Beah identifies his age as twelve years old. What were you doing when you were twelve years old? You were probably in middle school. Imagine being on your own at that point in your life.

Chapter Eight:

• Beah reminisces about his family while he is alone. He looks for medicinal leaves his grandfather showed him, for the soapy leaves he discovered during a summer with his grandmother, and thinks about the story of the wild pigs his grandmother told him. He remembers that his father used to say, “If you are alive, there is hope for a better day and something good to happen. If there is nothing good left in the destiny of a person, he or she will die.” Did these thoughts help Beah or make him more lonely and depressed? What makes you think so?

Chapter Nine:

• How did the boys avoid death when the villagers on the coast found them? Is Beah developing a theme? What is it?
