the first day of reading a long way gone

there is a a few boys and two of them are brothers and like they live in this place in africa and there is a war and the boy ishmeal is the main boy and he lives with his stepmom and his dad. he does not go to school because his dad refuses to pay and his mom can not afford to pay for it. he is going through these citys and alot of people are all laying around dead and bleeding to death and ishmeal see's all this and he is okay about it because thats how his life has always been and he had a dream that he was carring a body to the cemetary and he looked in the sheet and it was his body then he woke up. and he is much older now. and they are just haunting memorys of his dreams, present life, and the things that happen and trigger memorys from the past.its sad.
