A Long Way Gone #5

Quote#1:" My conception of New York City came from rap music." Ishmael,pg.193
Significance: I like that Ishmael thought New York City was the way they say it in music, because at first I thought like that too. Then I saw movies that are like the music visions and so I thought it was the same thing.
Personal Connection: I also thought NYC was the same as Ishmael did, because we listen to the same type of music so we have a good connection.
Question#1: Did you think that NYC was the way rappers talked about in their music?
Quote#2:"After that, we all went out to Times Square every evening."
Significance: I would do this also because I haven't been in a place like before so it is just natural for someone who isn't use to things that are in Time Square.
Personal Connection: I'm mostly going to this when I go on the Washington D.C trip in Spring break. We would be like the same our reactions and curiosity.
Question#2: What would you do if you were Ishmael?
