rename chapt 17, 18 , 19

chapt 17    ... back to health  ... i call this chapter back to health because beah starts the chapter on page 152  by telling us how he has not been to  the hospital in years.  He is introduced to a nurse that checks him over looking at his overall health.  it shows that beah can still trust .  I think it is a chapter that brings hope. 

 chapt 18 family ties....  i call this chapter family ties because the underling feel is the missing of beahs family .  the lost connection he so needs to develop fully .   i feel that in the first line of the chapter he gives us his feelings twards his family and how he wishes he was with them. 

chapt 19...long way back .... i call this chapter a long way back because  beah talks about returning to his uncle and i can imagine how hard it would be to see a figure in your life and trying to make it norma when realy you raised yourself and this figure no longer has value .  it is a long way back emotionally for beah , he is back stepping.

  1. Josh, these are good blog posts. I especially like Chapter 19's play on the Memoir's title and on the content of the chapter. Very well-tuned.
