A Long Way Gone post#6

Quote#1:"The belt buckle had a lion on it it was my favorite." Pg. 215, Ishmael
Significance: I think this is important because this can lead to something that isn't good, like the bus could get attack, and his pants might fall and he could trip and get caught and then get killed or go back in to the army.
Personal Connection: I had my Game boy color taken away from me and I never saw it again, I gave it to this kid because he said he would fix it and he just took it from me. It was like Ishmael when he got his belt taken away.
Question#1: Did you get anything taken away from you and you never saw it again?
Quote#2:" If you shoot me, your mother will die, and if you don't, your father will die."Pg.217 Monkey/Ishmael
Significance: I think that every kid had to chose something that would affect their lives forever. Ishmael had to do chose and he turned out fine.
Personal Connection: I had to pick something that I wish that I could go back and chose the other thing. Ishmael wish he could go back and not have killed all those people.
Question#2: Did you ever have to chose between something that would change your life?
