Journal 2: my introduction and along way gone

This is what happens when you do homework right after work
Hello my name is Gabrial Alexander Breidenbach but i normally go by Gabe due to the mispronunciation of my name. Oddly enough one of my biggest hobby's is Karate and other martial arts due to how they can eventually improve the body while the conditioning reduces the damage and pain received while in or out of practice. My other hobby is collecting weapons such as swords, knives, emeici, Sai, throwing stars, nunchucks, and other randomly assorted weapons that for all practical purposes i don't need but i love how they look ranging from the emeici that are as tall as a ruler to a sword that from handle to tip is fifty inches long.

the biggest thing that jumped at me when it comes to what we have read in along way gone is how it starts to where it ends where we left off. or should i say how it moves through the story since i was expecting it to start darker then what it did which caught me off guard. but as more charecters and pages went on it started with war being just a rumor nothing more nothing less up until the events unfold. Finnaly when the war made its pressence in the authors life the war hit the village and the immense detail.

  1. Very interesting hobbies Gabe. I agree with you're view on "A Long Way Gone" about the way the author structures the beginning of the book. At first it seems like Ishmael has a normal happy childhood and then out of nowhere his village is brutally attack. Good pick up there.
