Second reason is people use them in the wrong way. People use them to scare other people, rob people, pistol whip people and to fit in with the crowed. This is not good reasons to use a gun. Guns are meant to protect your self in an emergency situation. That is why we have so many different deaths in the world now because people are not using them responsibly.
These numbers do not include the 1.3 million displaced Africans and more than 40,000 rapes that are increasing with each passing breath. Ishmael Beah, an African who was once a part of one of the many civil wars inside Africa has a perspective of war that no other, author or producer has ever been able to reproduce in the way Ishmael Beah has done. With the creation of his memoir “A Long Way Gone” Ishmael has told the world about the cruelties and injustices committed upon boy soldiers. The attributes that Ishmael Beah uses in his memoir “A Long Way Gone” are simple. The personal bond that Ishmael creates between himself and the audience makes Ishmael a profound and unique storyteller.
Okonkwo had a horrible temper and this caused him to be very violent. He depicted these actions by beating his family in effort to control them, he believed his first son Nwonye was like his father therefore, he beat him often in attempt to make him more manly. He also beat up his second wife because he came back from outside and his afternoon meal had not yet been prepared, disregarding the fact that it was a peace week and every family was supposed to be peaceful. He made poor decisions by participating in the killing of the boy Ikemefuna who lived with him and called him father, after he had been warned not to participate in his killing. The continuous disagreement between Okonkwo and the new religion, people, and values adopted by his society results in his life falling apart and suicide, at the end of the book.
These characteristics get him in trouble and cause his life to change drastically. In the beginning of the novel the audience is presented to Okonkwo and his harsh personality. In his village he is known for being a tough warrior but this achievement has its consequences. In chapter two of the novel the reader gets an understanding of the way Okonkwo is perceived by his family when it states, “Okonkwo ruled his household with a heavy hand. His wives, especially the youngest, lived in perpetual fear of his fiery temper, and so did his little children.” This demonstrates the fear his family feels towards him.
Most of the dreams he experiences are nightmares, and many incorporate death of some form into them. Whether he’s being shot in the head or moving dead bodies, death finds a way to haunt Ishmael. Through the dreams we can see into Beah’s head, and notice how he is plagued by what he was forced to do. We can never truly know the extreme amount of terror that Ishmael must have felt, but through the dreams we can catch a glimpse into the world of a child soldier. The things that he was forced to do would have brought many grown men around the world to their knees, but instead, he kept on going.
All people deal with conflict and war in different way and sometimes never fully recover at all. In a time of serious conflict, being war, whole societies can be affected many different ways, Mazar-e–Sharif is a perfect example of this, they are a town who are constantly experiencing war and conflict between their own people and other forces. Almost everyone in Mazar-e-Sharif will have experienced a pain of being injured or of losing a loved one, growing up in a place of constant war would have affected children in major ways, the children will always being living in fear of attacks and will never truly trust the government system. The fear of war is not only in Afghanistan but also in many other places such as Vietnam and most recently Libya, these two countries have had basically the same fate as Afghanistan, with the constant fear and thought of death in the back of their minds. Not everyone copes with conflict the same way, some just curl up and wait for it to finish, but not everyone.
