Memoirs of a Boy Soldier

Literature Reflection

Reflection 1

Writing can be a very effective tool in helping to understand a problem. By writing a problem out in writing you can see it in its entirety. You have the opportunity to see the beginning, middle, and end all at the same time. When you are living in a problem you only focus on the events that are happening at that moment. You don't have the opportunity to step back and see how that event will affect something else, how it could change you. When you write the whole problem out you see how the little events interact with each other and how the end result got to be.

Writing can be a big help in finding by to go through and fix problems. You can use it as a way to heal yourself and understand why the problem had to take place. I personally use writing as a way to get all of my problems physically out of my head. Usually once I see my problem neatly laid out on paper (usually in the form of a poem) I can find a way to worth through the problem. Ishmael used writing as a way to bring himself back into a time when he was happy, when everything was right. He was able to rediscover his "childhood that was almost lost." When I write the ideas, thoughts, my worries, just all my emotions just flow onto the page. Most of the time I don't know what I'm going to write about until it is there in front of me. I find that writing helps me fix my problems by first showing me what they are.

Writing can be used in many different ways, but there has a way that could help anyone. Writing can either take you back to a time that you wish you could return to, or it can take you to a place you wish you could go to. Writing can just take you away. Writing can bring you peace, it can clear your head, and it can make almost everything better, even if it is just a little bit. Writing is a great took to start the healing process. My personal writing has saved me mentally from many situations. It has freed my mind.

Reflection 2
On Way Gone was written by a college student about his life, mostly of when he was a young child. Many people have a hard time regarding this material as truth. They don't believe that one would be able to remember that much in that much detail. These people will admit that the horrible events did actually take place, but aren't sure if ever detail is correct. They wonder how much we can actually trust what we read.

There are certain events in a person's life that they can't forget. Even if they would like to, it is imprinted on their minds. The events that Ishmael discourses are those very types of events. How could a person forget that? He tries to block them out, but over and over again he tells us about the dreams he has from his days in the army. He will never be able to fully recover from what he suffered. Ishmael also talks about a time when his father would give him something special that was supposed to help their memories for their tests in class. Ishmael isn't sure it actually worked, but he talks about how he could remember everything almost as if it were a "photograph" in his mind. Ishmael has a very wonderful memory; I especially don't feel like he could forget such dramatic and horrific events as the ones he suffered through as a boy soldier.

I feel that we should regard memoirs such A Long Way Gone as truth. We should keep in mind that some of the edges of memory fade over time; some little detail may have slightly changed, but that the whole story as a whole is true. We need to look at all the information we receive critically, but honestly. Look at the reason the book, passage, lecture, or memoir was written.

Reflection 3
By Way Gone makes us view war in a way none of us wish to. We have all seen war portrayed in movies, in the media and books, mostly from an outside perspective. This powerful book makes us look at war from the eyes of one scared boy participating it in. He is forced to participate just to survive. We see it from a whole new set of eyes. He doesn't sugar coat the situation, making it seem better then it is. He just tells us straight out what he saw and what he felt. Through Ishmael's eye's we see inhumanity towards other men, suffering of the innocent, and what all this fighting can do each person.

Ishmael was taught to kill in cold blood. He was taught not to look at the person and decide with compassion, but to just look at the situation. They taught him the situation was desperate and the only way to survive would be to obliterate the competition. They gave him no hope for a compromise. It was their way or death.

If I was placed in this kind of situation I would have a hard time. I would have a huge struggle against my will to be able to just take a human life with no thought behind it. I would personally think about it to much. Ishmael and the other soldiers just saw the rebels as something in the way of their goal, something to be destroyed, not as another human being. They had that thought imprinted so deeply in their mind some never could get it out.

My future aspiring dramatically affected if I had been forced into that sort of conflict. I would never be able to get those imagines out of my head. I wouldn't know how to move on with life. Ishmael found a way to be happy. I would struggle with the memories of the pain I had caused. Ishmael was strong because he found a way he could live again.

Reflection 4

Ishmael's friend began to ask him about his past. They asked if he had "attestor] some of the fighting." He replied, "Everyone in the country did." They asked him, "You mean you saw people running around with guns and shooting each other?" He told them that he saw that "all the time." His friend thought that was "cool." Ishmael then smiled to himself about what they thought.

People have a tendency to glamorize things such a war and fighting. I'm sure that if Ishmael's friends read this book and saw it through the eyes of one that had actually participated in the fighting they would feel differently. They would have to see the pain and destruction that something they thought was "cool" caused.

Everything in someone's past helps to shape their future; whether ie for good or for bad is up to them. Your past helps shape your future. You can let your past either build you and your future into something you want, or you can let it destroy all you have worked for. It's all up to you. You can't change your past. You can only change how you will let it affect your future. There are some things you need hold close and cherish, and other things you need to leave behind. Every person is different and what they need is unique.

We have the ability to be whoever and whatever we wish to become. We're the master painter sitting before his pearly canvas. Our past is the brush, we have the choice where it moves and how it moves. The paint is our future. It is new and slowly starts to show the grand picture. We have to decide how we want our painting to turn out. What we have done can't be redone, but we can use it to shape the picture into something beautiful. We have the capacity to create wonderful beautiful creations. We just have to believe, be brave enough to pick up the paint brush.

Reflection 5

Ishmael addressed music when he needed something. He let it touch him and take him away from everything. Ishmael had a passion for Rap music. He had a love for the stories behind the music. He let the music take over his mind and body. He loved to just sing and dance to the beat.

Music has always been a huge influence in my life. Whether I was playing or listening it has always touched my soul. Music is and so full of expression and emotion. It has a way to say exactly what I was feeling without me knowing it. There is always music for every situation and mood. Whether I need to listen to beautiful inspiring music while I was writing, something that told a story full of emotion and wonder with out the use of words; or need something with a little more spirit behind it to lift me out a funk, music is there. I have never been left alone when I could find music. There has always been something there when I needed it.

VARIATION IN TACTICS

 1. Sun Tzu said: In war, the general receives
  his commands from the sovereign, collects his army
  and concentrates his forces

 2. When in difficult country, do not encamp. In country
  where high roads intersect, join hands with your allies. 
  Do not linger in dangerously isolated positions. 
  In hemmed-in situations, you must resort to stratagem. 
  In desperate position, you must fight.

 3. There are roads which must not be followed,
  armies which must be not attacked, towns which must
  be besieged, positions which must not be contested,
  commands of the sovereign which must not be obeyed.

 4. The general who thoroughly understands the advantages
  that accompany variation of tactics knows how to handle
  his troops.

 5. The general who does not understand these, may be well
  acquainted with the configuration of the country, yet he
  will not be able to turn his knowledge to practical account.

 

Nest Eggs

Birds all the summer day
  Flutter and quarrel
Here in the arbour-like
  Tent of the laurel.

Here in the fork
  The brown nest is seated;
For little blue eggs
  The mother keeps heated.

While we stand watching her
  Staring like gabies,
Safe in each egg are the
  Bird's little babies.

Soon the frail eggs they shall
  Chip, and upspringing
Make all the April woods
  Merry with singing.

Younger than we are,
  O children, and frailer,
Soon in the blue air they'll be,
  Singer and sailor.

We, so much older,
  Taller and stronger,
We shall look down on the
  Birdies no longer.

My Shadow

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow--
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,
And he sometimes goes so little that there's none of him at all.

He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close behind me, he's a coward you can see;
I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!

One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.

FIVE THINGS YOU MUST DO TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN MAIL-ORDER.

A mail-order business is a great business to start, either part-time or 
full-time. It's exciting, because it's always changing, and it can be very 
profitable, if run correctly. One important thing to remember, though, is 
that mail-order businesses are easy to start, but take work to maintain.  

Don't believe the hype you hear about making millions overnight in mail-order. It's happened to a few lucky fools, but that's about it. You have to use your head in mail-order, if you want to survive.  
There are five extremely crucial rules to remember when running a mail-order business. You still won't be guaranteed success, but it will be a whole lot easier, if you follow 
these rules.

1) EXPLORE FREE AND LOW COST MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES.  
  Too many people jump into a mail-order business with an expensive, 
  flashy full-page ad in a big magazine. That's great IF it's successful, 
  but what do you do when your ad only pulls enough orders to cover it's 
  cost, and you have no marketing budget left for new ads? Lick your 
  wounds, and close down your business.  
  The smart thing to do at the start (and throughout your mail-order career)
  is to take advantage of all the free and low cost marketing options at your 
  fingertips.  
  You say you don't know about any? Well, here are some ideas. 
  Send a sample of your product along with a press release to the products
  reviewers at the magazines your customers read. Also, write a short article about a 
  subject or issue that will interest your potential customers and that 
  has a connection to the product you sell, and submit it to those same 
  magazines.  
  For example, if you sell bass fishing lures, write an article 
  on the best times of the day for bass fishing. 
  Offer to talk about the subject on radio or TV talk shows regarding this subject.
  Cable TV, in particular, has plenty of talk shows with specific audiences that are 
  desperately in need of guests.
  In all of these instances, include a short paragraph with information on 
  how to contact you and a general description of the products or services 
  you sell. Offer your articles or expertise for free, in return for this 
  paragraph either appearing at the end of your article, or being read 
  after the interview.
  Marketing yourself as an expert in your business will get you far more 
  publicity than placing an expensive ad, and it's virtually free, except 
  for your time, a few stamps and a few phone calls. It works for me, 
  and I know it can work for you.

The Wind and the Sun

The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger.
Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the road, and the Sun
said: "I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can
cause that traveller to take off his cloak shall be regarded as
the stronger. You begin." So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and
the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveller.
But the harder he blew the more closely did the traveller wrap his
cloak round him, till at last the Wind had to give up in despair.
Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the
traveller, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.

Kindness effects more than severity.
