    Ishmael Beah’s autobiography is almost unique, as far as I can determine – perhaps the first time that a child soldier has been able to give literary voice to one of the most distressing phenomena of the late 20th century. This book tells us how a young boy was forced to become a soldier to preserve his life and live to tell his story. Although Beah was from an under developed nation, he had the dreams and thoughts of any normal teenager from the west. It is heartbreaking to learn that such dreams of millions of children like Beah are crushed down and ripped apart by the institution of War.…

    When a child encounters a problem, it usually leads to an err, but being able to learn from these mistakes is an essential part of being an adult. When Amir is a boy in Kabul, he is jealous of Hassan because of the attention he gets from Baba, Amir’s father. One day in 1975, Amir wins a kite tournament, and when Hassan goes to retrieve the winning kite for him, he is ambushed. The attackers give Hassan a choice: give up the kite, or be physically assaulted. Hassan is too loyal to give up the kite as it is the trophy that Amir gets for winning the tournament, and so the attackers rape him. When Amir sees this happening, he chooses not to intervene, and thinks, “Maybe Hassan was the price I had to pay, the lamb I had to slay, to win Baba¨ (Hosseini 77). Hosseini puts Amir in this situation to show the difference between a man and a boy. Amir makes a childlike decision when he abandons Hassan for his own selfish reasons. Once Amir decides that he cannot slay that lamb, is when he will grow up. However this does not happen in the alley, as Amir’s childish brain is plagued by selfishness and cowardice. These are qualities that…

    “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life” (“Muhammad Ali Quotes”). This quote is from the world’s most famous boxing champion, Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali didn’t just show courage within the boxing rink; he also showed courage outside the rink that affected him and the world. Muhammad Ali was opposed to the U.S. war in Vietnam and that caused him to be stripped of his Heavyweight Champion Title, he was banned from boxing for 3 years, he was convicted of draft evasion, and so much more. Muhammad Ali also changed his original name because it was a slave name and it was against his religious beliefs. Muhammad Ali is a big inspiration to me.
