Ishmael Beah Case Study

Decent Essays
From all the study I have done with patient Ishmael Beah, all my studies prove that Ishmael Beah has been suffering from remembering his past, finding his identity and feeling guilty and responsible for everything her has done as a soldier in Africa. To diagnosis the problem he has with remembering his past and how he feels really guilty and responsible, Ishmael has to go counseling once every week and just talk about the past and the future. By going to counseling, he will be able to focus more on the future and finding out what is identity by just following what he really loves and focusing on it. By focusing more on the future, he will be able to forget about the past. The counseling will help him from thinking that he was responsible for

    There are many aspects of the book HTTLAP that relate to a Long Way Gone, but one characteristic that is continually present throughout, is the importance of geography.

    Ishmael saw two of his childhood friends get killed during his first battle of the war. He describes seeing a seven year old named Josiah who shared a tent with him get launched and killed from an explosion and his friend Musa whom he had known from school get shot in the head (Beah 118-119). At only twelve years old Ishmael saw his closest friends get killed in battle.

Both authors experienced unimaginable trauma and Ishmael’s victimhood cannot be negated as he had no choice but to fight in the war and partake in the…

    After reading Ishmael, my mind was astounded by the depth of which the novel illustrated about humanity and its captivity.

I had to take a step back couple of times reading the novel to correlate it with my own personal values, the way I saw the world, and the very foundation of the world’s educational systems and beliefs.…
