HW for Wednesday, 9/3

1. While reading chapters 1-9 (page 1-68) of A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier:

• Highlight and be ready to discuss five sentences in the memoir that provide you with insight into humanity, or into human behavior. Your five sentences MUST come from five different chapters (so one each from five chapters). You may (and should) go beyond five.

• Write down three questions that thematically investigate a moral issue, or a cultural behavior or belief, inspired by your reading of the memoir. 

• For example, if one were to read William Stafford's "An Introduction to Literature" one may have many questions. A quick one that inspires me from the first two lines of the poem: 

• Why do so many people choose to "moan" (pity) our sufferings rather than "sing" (learn from) them?
