Beah's story tells us a lot about violence and how it affected his life. The thing that I believe made this worse for him is that it started when he was a kid and caused lots of issue's in his life. When Beah is talking about how when he was really young the rebels came into his village and attacked them and killed people it changed his life. When they attacked ad he was as young as he was it sticks with you and will never go away especially when it is your family that might have been killed and you know that you will never see them again. In chapter 12 when he joined the army I believe that it just made the violence n his life thrive to a point were it would be hard to change and that it caused him to become a completely different person.
