Loss of Innocence in A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier

One of the important themes in the "long way" is that participation in war has lost innocence. A Long Way Gone is a memoir of Ishmael Beah, a young boy struggling to survive in Sierra Leone. In order to survive, he eventually attacked the village from the hands of armed groups and killed everyone. One of the themes of 'a long way' is that war brings revenge to the innocent people, destroys childhood, and war becomes part of their daily lives. In A Long Way Gone, 12-year-old Ishmael Beah explains that he swam with friends, love rap music and hip-hop dance.
