Child Solders

Child Solders

Connections: 

While I was watching the video it came to a part when he said he was forced to join the army at a young age and it reminded me of conscription during World War 1 & 2, also the both the military and the rebels preferred the young kids to fight the civil war because as young kids they can easily be manipulated and they were cheap ( they didn't have to buy them uniforms, pay them any salary etc.).

Challenges:

The part that I want to challenge is when he went to the military base why couldn't he tell the people over there to send him to another county with his family members so they can escape the war and start a new life.

Concepts:

Key Idea that is worth holding from the text is that  we shouldn't use children in wars because they could get traumatized and they can also change their way of thinking because of the war atmosphere that's around them 

Changes:

The changes in the text were gradually evolved throughout the story that was being told because the supporting sentences had the readers intention, and slowly building up the emotions.
