10 chaoters

Chapter one- Running Wild
I titled this chapter "Running Wild" because Beah and his friends are walking to a town that's pretty far from there home. I think it's a little strange because Beah is only 12 and none of them even told their parents they were leaving. It shows that their culture is a lot different from ours.
Chapter two- Time Warp
The reason I choose "Time Warp" for the title is because at the begging of the chapter Beah is having a dream that brings him back into the war. He does mention that he is living in his "new life", but the memories of his childhood still come back to haunt him, and he knows he will never be able to forget them.
Chapter four- Back to the Darnger Zone
I titled chapter four "Back to the Danger Zone" because in the previous chapter the rebels had attacked the village of Mattru Jong where the boys were staying. In the chapter the boys had been sleeping in abandoned villages and walking around to avoid danger, but they realize that they will need money to buy food to survive. The boys decide to take the risk of going back to Mattru Jong to get their money so they can find food.
Chapter eight- Lost and Found
I thought it would be cool the use the term "Lost and Found" for chapter eight because it is the chapter after Beah gets completly cut off from the friends he was traveling with. Beah finds himself lost and alone in the forest and starts really thinking about what was really happening. He knows that it is safer for him to be alone because one person is less noticeable then a group of boys. As he starts to walk around the trails in the forest he ran into a group of six other boys. He joins their group even though it's more dangerous then staying alone.
Chapter twelve- A New Chance?
The reason I titled this chapter "A New Chance" is because the boys run into a group of soldiers that tell them to follow them to the river. I think once the boys knew that the soldiers werent going to hurt them and that they were actually leading them out of danger eased their worries a little bit. The village they were broughten to seemed like like a safe haven away from the fighting. They had food, shelter, and were helping with chores. One day the lieutenant had called all of the boys for a meeting. He asked them to join their army, and if they did they would be able to get reenge on the people that killed their families. Beah had a tough decision to make he thought he might have finally found a new family.
Chapter thirteen- Surprise!
The reason I named chapter 13 "Surprise!" is because it is the first time Beah is actually fighting in the war. All of the boys wwoke up that morning being told that they had the day off training and to enjoy it. Little did they know the Lieutenant had planned for them to have a fun day before putting the in the front lines for the first time.
Chapter fifteen- Wake up call
I titled chapter 15 "Wake Up Call" because Beah realizes that the army really isnt his true family. People from the U.N came to the base and made the Lieutenant pick some boys to send back into normal society. Beah felt betrayed by what he thought was is "family". What he found worse was having to listen to the civillians and having to deal with the drug withdrawralls.
Chapter eight teen- Hope
In Chapter 18 Beah learns that he does have living relatives nearby that he can live with. He has an Uncle from his fathers side of the family.
Chapter twenty- WOW
I called chapter 20 "WOW" because it was Beah's first time ever going to the states. He explained that he was a little nervous to go to New York beacause the only things he as ever heard about New York were from rap. It was also winter and the first time he had ever been in the cold. I think if hadnt done the conention he would have been stuck in the war all over again, he is extremely lucky!
Chapter twenty one- The Great Escape
In chapter 21 Beah thought that his chance of a new life was going to be ruined. The war had moved into the city. On the first night of all the gun fire there had been an announcment on the radio saying Johney Paul Koroma had proclaimed himself as the new president of Sierra Leone. Beah's uncle had also become ill and they were not able to find him any medical care, and as a result he passed away. Beah decided that he needed to escape, the thought of being killed, or having to fight for the army again wasnt what he wanted to deal with. Beah called the woman he had met in New York and asked if he could live with her if he could get there, she said "yes". He finally would have an official home with her in the states.
