A Long Way Gone Ch. 1-2

Before I started reading A Long Way Gone, I already knew the ending of the story. It was obviously about a boy, now an adult, that was a young soldier and is still living today. I also knew that it was going to be sad. I didn't really know that it was going to be so vivid though. After reading the first two chapters of the book, I could tell that this was going to be a detailed and thorough. What's ironic though, is that before the chapters actually start, there is a conversation that Ishmael has between his friend, where Ishmael sounds so casual. He seem sat ease when he talks about how one day he will tell his friend about the war that he was in, but in the first two chapters he talks about how when he remembered his experiences he shuddered at the thought  of what he had done  and what he had been through. H e was living in three different worlds like he said in the second chapter. The three worlds that he lives in are his dreams, the present, and the memories of his past. I can already tell that Ishmael Beah is going to put us through a rough journey of memories that will make us believe that we are experiencing what he is.
