Connection: After his home town was destroyed Ishmael Beah was made in to a child solder at the age of 12 years old against his own will like in the movie Blood Diamond where rebel armies would raid small villages, rape and pillage then steal the remaining children and train them to use rifles. at one point the main character's child was forced into the army.
Challenges: Ishmael faced a few major challenges like having to adapt to the sudden army life with the intensive drugging a the constant fear of the general.along with that there was the rehab that he was suddenly placed in right after being hardened for war .
Concept: what i would take away from Ishmael would be that you shouldn't lose hope in something just because it has changed paths because there is always the possibility that it can come back for a second chance.
Change: the point where Ishmael made a major turnaround would be when he was placed in rehabilitation. Although he hated it at first he slowly became accustom and he slowly regained his morals and sanity.
